Place of execution
“– What is that again?
Edgin and Simon (Chris Pine and Justice Smith)
– An owlbear.“
If the directors of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves used the forest of Tollymore for the introductory scene, they settled in Bourne Wood to introduce the character of the druidess, played by Sophia Lillis. It is here that the latter saves a young woman by transforming herself into an owl bear, a very powerful fantastic creature.
Fantastic forest
The forest of Bourne Wood, which is used to hosting filming, was not significantly altered during the filming of the scene for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. A jib was installed and several actors and other stuntmen were positioned to allow the digital effects specialists to organize the arrival of the urchin. A key scene that Jonathan Goldstein and John-Francis Daley produced in the same place where the Jurassic World dinosaurs walked and not far from the battlefield of Maximus at the beginning of Gladiator.
Two directors at the helm
Known for their comedies Game Night and Vacation, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley were not familiar with the Dungeons & Dragons universe before starting production on their film. Jonathan Goldstein explained how he envisioned this ambitious project to Collider: “It’s a crowd-pleasing combination t hat respectfully nods at diehard fans while remaining just accessible enough for any newbies“
Fun fact, John Francis Daley played one of the lead roles in Judd Apatow’s Freaks & Geeks as a child. His character being a Dungeons & Dragons fan.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is the third film by the duo Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Dalley.
Bourne Wood
This wooded area south of Farnham in Surrey, England is one of the most popular filming locations in the country.
This forest, about which Charles Darwin is said to have written, has been used since 1999 as a filming location. The place owes its popularity in the first place to Ridley Scott. The director who shot here the battle scenes against the barbarians of his classic Gladiator. Subsequently, works such as Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Robin Hood, Captain America: the First Avenger or Dark Shadows and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom were filmed there.
