Mutant Chronicles Is Better Than Dungeons & Dragons
Even if you’re man enough to admit that you spent your childhood playing Dungeons & Dragons, you probably couldn’t stand watching the inexcusably terrible live-action film version from 2000 (Even Marlon Wayans couldn’t save it!). But now a lesser-known role-playing game called Mutant Chronicles is coming to the big screen, and it actually looks pretty decent.
The film version is set in a strange, steam-driven future, when all of earth’s natural resources have been depleated and a worldwide war wages between four corporations. After an army of millions of mutants jumps in the mix, it’s up to a soldier (played by The Punisher’s Thomas Jane) to save the planet. It might not feature any of the Wayans brothers, but with casting choices like John Malkovich, Hellboy’s Ron Perlman, Devon Aoki and the Fugees’ Pras, we’re definitely intrigued. Watch the first teaser trailer below.
