Knights of Badassdom Acquired by EOne

We have some great news for those who have been waiting for Knights of Badassdom. The movie has been sitting on the shelf for the last couple of years while a number of internal business issues were being sorted out. While we don't have specifics on how everything got resolved, we do know that Entertainment One has acquired the movie for North American distribution.

A release date has not been set, but a US VOD and theatrical release is planned. The movie was directed by Joe Lynch (Holliston, Wrong Turn 2) and written by Kevin Dreyfuss and Matt Wall:

"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."
