‘Freaks and Geeks’ reunite for ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ promotional video
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is set to arrive in cinemas this Friday, March 31st. In celebration, the movie’s writer and director, John Francis Daley, has returned to his Dungeons & Dragons playing days on Freaks and Geeks for a new promotional video. In the clip, Daley reunites with Samm Levine and Martin Starr as they joke about how the Dungeons & Dragons movie would never happen.
Freaks and Geeks has been off the air for 23 years, but now, fans can enjoy a snapshot update on the group. Daley is back in character as Sam, who has been playing the game non-stop all those years with his friends Bill (played by Starr) and Neal (Levine). When Neal’s Dungeons & Dragons character gets dissolved into “flesh and bone,” the group realise they’ve been playing for over 20 years.
“Time really flies when you’re playing Dungeons & Dragons,” Neal says before noticing their vast beards. Meanwhile, the clean-shaven Sam jokes that he “hasn’t hit puberty yet” before suggesting someone should make Dungeons & Dragons into a movie. All three laugh off the idea before a promo for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves concludes the video.
Although Freaks and Geeks was cancelled in 2000 before its first season had ended, it remains a cult classic. Many of the show’s cast continued to pursue successful careers, including Seth Rogen, Linda Cardellini, Jason Segel, James Franco, and Busy Phillips.
