While fans are patiently waiting for "World of Warcraft" to finally hit theaters next year, main cast Travis Fimmel talked about the movie.
In an interview with Crave Online, the 35-year-old Australian actor admitted that he has no knowldege of the hit video game despite playing the main character, Anduin Lothar.
"No, I wasn't at all," he admitted. "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."
Despite having a great time filming scenes from "World of Warcraft," Fimmel said that he has no interest in playing the game.
"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."
Furthermore, Travis Fimmel shared that his hit series "Vikings" has ceratainly helped him in shooting "World of Warcraft."
"It certainly helps," he said. "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."
Adding that "Vikings" is a good show to watch for those "World of Warcraft" gamers, since it tackles with strategies like that of the RPG.
"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."
Meanwhile, director Duncan Jones who had an interview with 2p revealed that the team is now working on the post shooting polishing, he also hinted his interest to continue the story of "World of Warcraft" with a sequel or even a trilogy.
"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!"
