With cinematography by Doug Milsome BSC, ASC (Full Metal Jacket, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves), the film boasts a striking visual aesthetic reminiscent of classic epic filmmaking.<br><br>Set in a world rife with injustice, Warlord follows a peaceful Wood Elf leader forced to take up arms against an oppressive Sheriff and his mercenaries. As rebellion stirs, alliances are tested, and the elves\u2019 true motives come into question, setting the stage for a thrilling battle for justice and survival.<br><br>Director Stuart Brennan shares his vision: \u201cI grew up inspired by stories like Robin Hood, and I wanted to craft a film that explores timeless struggles\u2014oppression, resistance, and the cost of war. Warlord is an intense, character-driven journey that I feel is timely and dealing with themes that are current real world issues. Having been a big fan of Warhammer growing up, Wood Elves were always my army of choice and so getting a chance to bring wood elves into my universe has been particularly special.\u201d<br><br>A first-look at the poster of the film has been released today with exclusive images of Billy Boyd as The Sheriff and Ryan Gage as The Brute. Brennan was very excited about the casting; \u201cI love Lord of the Rings, so working with Billy was very cool. He\u2019s incredibly detail orientated and a very prepared actor. He arrived on set excited to be playing a dark and richly complex character. We\u2019d had a few video calls to talk through the part and once he was in costume, on location it was genuinely one of the highlights of my career being able to capture him bringing this role to life. It\u2019s very different from anything he\u2019s done before.\u201d<br><br>This was the third movie he had got to work with Gage; \u201cRyan is a superb actor, he\u2019s also very prepared, very specific and creative with his choices. He was one of the first people I sent the script to and this character really jumped out at him. He\u2019s a lot of fun in this movie, very dark, very wicked.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
