Questions like, “Why is it live-action?” and “What’s with Jason Momoa’s funny wig?” have arisen. However, the director, Jared Hess, has provided some insight into the first question. The movie, inspired by the widely acclaimed video game of the same name, follows four unexpected protagonists who are transported into the game’s universe.
