fights get over okay she like 10 time
what are you talking I was only to hit
me one game over good you can dead oh no
and I got magical cloak of protection
symantec like armor clever and intense
the Wild Hunt asset in the fantasy
reality of a role-playing game hi I’m
Tonya and welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we will be speaking with the
director of the film alex han Shi it’s
the mask of our actress that our actress
wore and it’s a mask of the beasts in
the Wild Hunt and the Wild Hunt is a
legend is coming from Northern Europe
where apparently there’s a human body
with a head of a goat or an elk running
across the woods followed by hounds and
horses and people and this choice
everything on its wake in on its passage
and when you saw the Wild Hunt men
either you went insane and he joined in
you got destroyed so it’s one of the
oldest symbols known to man can you tell
us a little bit about the Wild Hunt the
idea was originally brought to me by the
co screenwriter Mark Koufos a lead actor
Bjorn it’s about a very realistic
down-to-earth guy who goes up to a
medieval game to follow his girlfriend
to win her back he’s got a shit life
taking care of his dad and they saw very
glamorous and she’s kind of this case
for fun it’s not fun i’m gonna take this
from cat seemed off and I’m gonna go and
as he goes there he realizes that she’s
been seduced by one of the cool players
a charismatic shaman let’s see if this
peasant has the eloquence to woo the
princess to follow her and to deal with
her he’s got to put our costume he’s got
a role play and it’s not really his
thing so he kind of has to get to help
his older brother some deadbeat guy pure
Magnussen praised a Viking warrior and
as it was completely over the top and
only lives for that game is a glorious
day the Magnusson clan united meet my
little viking brother in trying to get
his girl back kind of breaks the rules
and he kind of pushes the game bit too
far and that kind of breaks the little
fantasy bubble of all the guys having
fun there and things start to escalate
when you speak to me you speak in
character for those viewers who don’t
know about LARPing
you fill us in on that these people who
dress up in an evil costume of a certain
era or all eras mixed in and go
re-enacting battles or play different
fantasy scenarios in the outdoor setting
what kind of research went into the
creation of the film the film is set in
the shade bakunin it’s like a whole
village medieval village people meet
there in the summer and they do it so we
kind of make partners we partnered up
with these guys to film there even in
the summer when there had their big
battles we had to hide our camera on
their pelts and wear costumes having
played Dungeons and Dragons and reading
a lot about fantasy and and legends it
was very a natural fit I didn’t have to
do too much research when look you’re in
a costume surrounded by God sorry he
times cocksucker bailed on you Jim blame
is gay how would you categorize this
particular film it’s not a fantasy film
in the sense that there’s no superpowers
or mythical powers and stuff like that
we call it a modern medieval saga it’s
got that whole Shakespearean saga thing
love triangle is feel really bad but
it’s modern and yet it’s medieval so
it’s hard to define thank you very much
for your time you’re welcome is my
pleasure I have lost my warrior pride
and because of that I have lost my woman
to another
I have lost my warrior pride and because
of that I louder brother the gods must
hi Harry my bride and because of that
Lynn dumped me
