Summary

"Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" had its world premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, where it received strong reviews, possibly kickstarting a new franchise for Paramount Pictures in the process. The fantasy film features a wide array of creatures, props, sets, and visual effects, all used to immerse audiences in the world-building and get as lost in the movie as millions have in the tabletop role-playing game. Two of the film's supervisors behind the scenes were kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work on the film: ILM Visual Effects Supervisor Ben Snow and Prosthetics and Hair & Makeup Designer Alessandro Bertolazzi. Please check out their interviews below, and be sure to watch the film on Paramount+, which is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Makeup & Hair Styling and Best Visual Effects.
