Knights
of Badassdom is a Joe Lynch creation and beside the epic name it looked like a
fun movie to watch, but deals made behind the scenes toke the film away from
Lynch, and so two years went by, until now, because Entertainment One has
picked up he movie for theatrical and VOD distribution. When asked for a
comment via Twitter, Lynch replied with “Till I get a call… #NMC”, which probably
refers to Not My Cut, which then refers to the 70 minute cut, that Wade Bradley
from IndieVest reportedly has made.
Knights
of Badassdom is about a group of LARPers (Live-Action Role Players) who
accidentally summon a demon, which they must fight and destroy before anyone
else gets killed. Starring in Knights of Badassdom is Peter Dinklage, Ryan
Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau and Danny Pudi.
