Steve Zahn suits up for ‘Knights of Badassdom’
'Knights of Badassdom' has just added Steve Zahn to its ranks along with 'Death At A Funeral' star Peter Dinklage and 'True Blood' star Ryan Kwanten.
The film focuses on a group of LARP-ers (Live Action Role Players) who suit up as knights and elves, ditch their cell phones and head into the woods to reenact a dungeons and dragons scene. Our main players are Joe and Eric. Eric is gung-ho LARP, but it isn’t until Joe loses his girlfriend that he gives in and participates. Good thing too because while he’s there, he meets the super hot LARPer, Gwen. Trouble comes in the form of a fake wizard who casts a spell from an ancient book he bought on eBay that winds up releasing an actual demon.
Kwanten explains, “It’s sort of a comedy… like Shaun of the Dead meets Role Models, it's that real black comedy that I really love."
It is also reporting that Community star Danny Pudi has been cast in the film. While no details about his character were revealed.
'Wrong Turn 2: Dead End' director Joe Lynch is directing the film, and is expected to hit cinemas next year.
