New Line's Upcoming Fantasy Film HOMEROOMS AND HALL PASSES is a Reverse DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Story
Tom O’Donnell has a new fantasy novel being released in October 2019 called Homerooms and Hall Passes. It is being published by Balzer & Bray and New Line Cinema has already acquired the rights to it. After reading the summary, I have to say that I am genuinely intrigued in the book and film.
“In the mystical realm of Bríandalör, every day the brave and the bold delve into hidden temples or forgotten dungeons, battling vile monsters and evil wizards to loot their treasure hoards for sweet, sweet magic items.
But in their free time, our heroes—Thromdurr the mighty barbarian, Devis the shifty thief, Vela the noble paladin, Sorrowshade the Gloom Elf assassin, and Albiorix the (good!) wizard—need to relax and unwind.
That’s why they meet up once a week to play Homerooms & Hall Passes: a role-playing game where they assume the characters of average American eighth graders.
But when the five young adventurers are magically transported into their H&H game by an ancient curse, they must band together to survive their toughest challenge yet: middle school.
Who knew that battling ogres would be easier than passing algebra or navigating the cafeteria social scene? They must use what they’ve learned from playing Homerooms & Hall Passes to figure out how to save their game world (which might actually be real...).
Dungeons & Dragons meets Jumanji in this new, laugh-out-loud adventure series from the author of the beloved Hamstersaurus Rex series.”
That’s right. It’s like a reverse Dungeons & Dragons situation. Of course, no one is attached to the project yet, but let us know who you would like to see directing, starring, etc.
You can also already pre-order the book from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
