TORONTO — Actors Ben Foster and Dominic Cooper are heading to Vancouver next month to star in Warcraft, the big screen adaptation of the video game series.
They will join a cast that already includes Travis Fimmel (Vikings), Paula Patton (2 Guns), Robert Kazinsky (True Blood) and Toby Kebbell (Wrath of the Titans).
Foster plays disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong in the forthcoming biopic and is best known for his roles in the acclaimed 2009 film The Messenger and films like 3:10 to Yuma and 30 Days of Night.
Cooper has starred in films like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Captain America: The First Avenger and Mamma Mia!.
Filming of Warcraft is scheduled in Vancouver for mid-January to the end of May. The movie is being directed by Duncan Jones, who made 2011’s Source Code with Jake Gyllenhaal in Montreal.
Jones is the son of music icon David Bowie.
More stars are expected to be added to the cast in the coming days. Colin Farrell recently admitted he read the script and had discussions with Jones.
“It’s amazing. Loved the script,” said Farrell. “It’s a really big and fantastical world. It’s just a world that I never explored.”
Warcraft is currently scheduled to hit theatres in time for Christmas 2015.
