While fans are waiting for "World of Warcraft" to hit the theaters next year, main cas Travis Fimmel has managed to talked about the movie adaptation of the hit video game.
In an interview with Crave Online, the 35-year-old Australian actor candidly shared his experience in filming "World of Warcraft" movie while he's talking about the "Vikings" series.
"It certainly helps," Fimmel said when asked if "Vikings" helped him prepare for "WOW." "It's very different. Warcraft is very motion capture-oriented and special effects-orientated and we wear costumes that I couldn't get through a door with all the armor. You can't lift your arms above your head with that on, but Vikings is a bit more natural with the fighting."
While he enjoyed filming "World of Warcraft" movie, the main cast admitted that he is not at all familiar with the game and his character Anduin Lothar prior to his involvement with the project.
"No, I wasn't at all. It's amazing how many people play the game. I saw all the visuals. The movie is so close to Warcraft. They really kept it true to the game and you get a pretty good sense of the game just from what we're doing on set."
Adding that he had no interest in playing video games despite the great experience in working on "WOW."
"No, to be honest, I haven't," he answered when asked if ever tried playing the game after filming the movie. "I've never been much of a gamer."
And while it's not likely going to happen Crave Online asked the "World of Warcraft" main cast if he ever considered looking at the possibility of a potential crossover between "WOW" and "Vikings."
While he did not answer the question, he compared the two, claiming that the game's "action" and "strategy" is much like what is shown in "Vikings."
"I think it's a great show for the mentality of gamers. They like the games that are full of action, they like strategy. That's so much what Vikings is about, the strategy and how they can overcome great obstacles. And there's action everywhere, and women that are very easy to watch."
Director Duncan Jones, on the other hand, teased fans on a possible sequel for "World of Warcraft" movie during an interview with 2p.
"Peter Jackson did a magnificent job of setting the table: for Tolkein's universe with his first Lord of the Rings film," he explained. "I know that my job in this first film is to establish certain characters, places and culture while telling a story that a broad audience can be excited by!"
Adding, "Hopefully, if I have done my job right, people will want to know and see more! There is certainly plenty more to tell! I would love to be part of that process of expanding on the lore that makes up Warcraft, but it will all depend on what you, the audience, think of our first film!"
