With the Comic-Con panel just wrapping up this afternoon, we now have our first trailer for Knights of Badassdom. If you liked the last forty minutes or so of 2008’s Role Models, then I think you will dig this. In what looks to also be a much funnier version of Your Highness, Badassdom features LARPer’s (live action role players for those keeping tabs), that get in over their heads. Joe Lynch directs this smaller budget effort that mixes comedy, horror, and heavy swordplay.

With a cast including Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau, Peter Dinklage, Margarita Levieva, Jimmi Simpson, Danny Pudi, Brett Gipson, and Michael Gladis, you can check out the trailer below via their Facebook page.

Synopsis:

In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield. When Joe’s “sorcerer” roommate (Zahn) inadvertently summons a deadly succubus that takes Beth’s seductive form, bloody reality crashes down upon their fantasy world. Once LARPers start to turn up dead, the make-believe wizards and warriors must become the real life heroes they have been pretending to be in order to conquer the evil that has been unleashed.

Expect a 2011 release for Knights of Badassdom.
