Finally, a LARPing comedy.

Finally.

It seems they are going the GALAXY QUEST route, with LARPers having to face the real thing — a soul-sucking succubus. This movie seemed to have much more buzz than some of the bigger ones shown at Comic-Con, so it definitely touched a nerve.

I have some mixed feelings about this. While some of this looks like it could have been shot at my own family’s LARPing compound, it’s definitely not as amusing-looking as the real thing. But, you know, Peter Dinklage.

What say you, readers?

    I did some early concept work on another indie LARPing movie called Unicorn City. It’s considerably less gory than Knights of Badassdom. You can see the trailer here: http://www.unicorncity.com/

    Role Models makes pretty extensive use of LARPing in the plot, including the climax.

    Looks like goofy fun! My friend and model Trina Kay is the brunette with fairy wings that walks through several scenes, and a couple of other women I’ve shot are in one of the groups of four towards the end.
