If you recall, we first told you about this movie way back in 2011. Can you remember that far back? Yeah, it’s not easy for us either.

Since 2011, the movie has had a rough road and apparently the director and financier/producer have been fighting over it, which is not really a good sign. However, with this new trailer being released, it looks like the movie may finally see the light of day.

We hope things have been worked out to everyone’s satisfaction as we support the director’s vision around here. We also understand that it takes producers (and money) to make movies happen, so we can’t forget that either.

Anyway, to refresh your memory, Knights of Badassdom concerns a group of people who do a little live-action roll playing. No, it’s not like that. Well, it could be like that.

This week on an all-new episode of The Flickcast, Matt is back from vacation and has no problem sharing highlights from his trip. But wait, there’s more.

Actually, it’s hard to describe just what happens during this week’s show, but suffice it to say, it’s a wild one. And yes, one of the boys (if not both) manage to offend someone this week. Shocking, right?

They also make some picks this week including Matt’s pick of an obscure indie movie called Would You Rather? and Chris’ pick of the awesome show Veronica Mars, which he says is on Netflix but it really isn’t. He lies.

Hey, nobody would be happier than we would if Firefly came back to TV. Or, if they did another movie sequel or prequel to Serenity. Sadly, even though Josss Whedon is a huge success with Avengers, we don’t think either of those is a real possibility.

However, that isn’t stopping Science Channel, which runs the original Firefly series pretty much every day, from doing a new TV special about the show. That’s right, to celebrate the cult-classic’s 10th anniversary, the channel is shooting said one-hour special, called Browncoats Unite, at the the Firefly cast reunion at Comic-Con this week.

“Firefly is a landmark work of science fiction and a favorite with our viewers,” said Debbie Myers, general manager and executive vp of Science. “Ever since it premiered on Science, fans have asked us to do something special to mark its 10-year anniversary. With this signature celebration, punctuated by Browncoats Unite, we will connect the minds behind this classic franchise with its legions of passionate fans.”

Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion are expected to appear on Friday’s panel. In addition, Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, Sean Maher and writer Tim Minear are also expected. Browncoats Unite will air on Science, along with an all-day marathon of Firefly episodes, on Sunday, Nov. 11.

The world of fantasy/comedy has been a little neglected lately. In fact, I would challenge you to name any fantasy/comedy movie in the last several years that warranted even a slight notice by most fans and critics.

Obviously, Your Highness is a movie that came out recently that mostly fills this quota. Another is the upcoming Knights of Badassdom which, for lack of a better word, rocks. Or, it seems to based on this brand new first trailer for the film that we have for you today.

The films features Peter Dinklage, Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Summer Glau and Danny Pudi who gear up for the epic, but fake, Battle of Evermore and … accidentally summon a real succubus from hell.

Yes, you read that right. It does sound cool and, in fact, is. Check out the new trailer after the jump

For those who are planning on heading to San Diego Comic-Con in a few weeks that were disparaged by the fact that most major film studios are not planning anything major, there are smaller projects popping up that will likely be the winners of the show this year.

One of those is the new indie comedies titled Knights of Badassdom, starring True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten, Summer Glau, Danny Pudi, and Game of Throne’s Peter Dinklage. A little bit of Your Highness and a little bit of Role Models, the film looks to take a pretty funny look at the very real world of LARP’ing. Here’s the premise.

In this humorous fantasy adventure from IndieVest Pictures, Joe (Ryan Kwanten) is a heavy metal rocker who’s just gone through a painful breakup with his girlfriend, Beth (Margarita Levieva). His concerned roommates (Steve Zahn, Peter Dinklage) kidnap him to their LARP (Live Action Role Playing) gathering, where he enters a realm of fantasy escapism in which pretend knights, elves, and barbarians clash with foam weaponry on a mock battlefield.
