The anticipation for the live action adaptation of the video game 'World of Warcraft' has continually been mounting since the San Diego Comic-Con. Fans were treated to a display of the amazing costumes that will be worn in 'Warcraft,' and the trailer was exclusively screened at Hall H.
It would still be a long wait before the 'Warcraft' Comic-Con trailer is released publicly, but Legendary Pictures has decided to treat the fans with a behind-the-scenes look at how Robert Kazinsky was transformed into the orc warrior Orgrim.
Legendary tweeted, "We teamed with the masters @WetaWorkshop to make Orgrim, from our upcoming @warcraftmovie, come alive!"
Robert Kazinsky endured several hours in the makeup chair to turn into the terrifying orc. However, this is not the only difficulty he went through while filming. During the film's SDCC panel, the actor revealed he was dumped by his girlfriend because of 'Warcraft.'
"It would all be really really sad and pathetic if I wasn't doing this movie, which has totally made it OK," Kazinsky said. "She left me because of 'Warcraft' and now I'm like, 'Well, psht, who won this round?'"
Kazinsky, who had played 'World of Warcraft' for years before he was offered a role in the film, wants fans to know that the adaptation will be worth the wait.
"I'm a gamer and I know what I'm expecting, I know what you're expecting from this thing, and I promise you [director] Duncan Jones has made the movie you want to see," he said.
According to Jones, the film will be different, but it will remain true to the game.
"I think we were able to refine and pair down what it is that would make a good core story for a film because a film is always going to be different from a game," he said. "You always have to have a narrative. The audience isn't going to be there to choose the story for you."
'Warcraft' also stars Travis Fimmel, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbel, Paula Patton, Daniel Wu, Ben Foster and Clancy Brown. It is scheduled for release on June 10, 2016.
