John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein say DungeonsAndDragons 'feels like the quintessential SXSW film. It’s big and all-encompassing but there’s also something a little bit subversive about it.'
have been to the SXSW Film Festival twice before — for 2013’s “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone,” which they wrote, and 2019’s “Stuber,” which they produced. But when the pair debut the action-comedy “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” as the opening film of the annual Austin event this Friday, it will be the first time they’ve done so as directors. They couldn’t be more excited.
In June 2019, Daley and his wife, both big Cubs fans, stepped into a local sports bar in the Valley, eager to watch the Chicago baseball team play the Los Angeles Dodgers. They wound up sitting next to a literary agent who began chatting up Daley about his career as a filmmaker.
“We pitched this idea of a ground-level superhero where it isn’t entirely end-of-the-world stakes,” Daley says. “He’s just learning his powers and is also somewhat dysfunctional with his life. The more imperfect we can make a superhero, the better, because that’s the inherent challenge: How do you give imperfection to someone that is, you know, physically perfect?”
“It was a number of creative differences that caused us at a certain point to decide that it was time to go,” Daley says.
