The highly anticipated video game film 'Warcraft' could change the way people view Orcs in the movies.
In a Yahoo video featuring interviews with the cast, it is revealed that, unlike what most moviegoers are expecting, the Horde are not the bad guys in the film.
"Most fantasy films, even the ones I love the most like Peter Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' movies, it's very much good versus evil," director Duncan Jones said. "Humans are good, evil tends to be the monsters and the bad guys. In this film, it's very much about two sides which are both filled with heroes. And it's a conflict that is unavoidable just because of the nature of the circumstances."
Actress Anna Galvin, who plays Durotan's wife Draka, explains what the director wishes to achieve with the film.
"Duncan Jones wants to show the Orcs as someone that humans can relate to and the audiences can relate to and feel empathy for," she said. "They're traditionally portrayed as big, bad thugs and ugly, boorish dolts, but in this movie, they're not."
In the 'Warcraft' movie, the Orcs must unite with the Humans to battle a greater evil.
"What we've strived to make here is not a 'Warcraft' movie, but a great war movie," Rob Kazinsky adds. "And in every war, on every side, there are good guys and there are bad guys, and this is no different."
Kazinsky, who portrays the Orcish warrior Orgrim Doomhammer, sums up the film in the best way possible.
"We are not telling of good versus evil versus the story," he said. "The enemy here, and the true evil, is war, as always."
'Warcraft' also stars Travis Fimmel as Anduin Lothar, Toby Kebbell as Durotan, Dominic Cooper as King Llane Wrynn, Paula Patton Garona Halforcen as and Daniel Wu as Gul'Dan. The film is scheduled for release on June 10, 2016.
