"One of the things about his playing so much Dungeons & Dragons is that Vin has a great mind for creating mythology,” director Breck Eisner told Entertainment Weekly. The actor and action hero is a notorious Dungeons & Dragons player, and his character in the film, Kaulder, is based in part on one of his preferred characters in the game, a witch hunter who is also an elf.
But it's not a book that inspired Diesel - it was a certain popular fantasy role-playing game. The Last Witch Hunter, as Comic Books Resource tells it, was borne of Diesel's personal penchant for a good fantasy adventure. (Rose Leslie's witch is a goodie.) Such a fantastic plot seems like it must have emerged fully-fledged from a fantasy-aisle pulp novel, and as though The Last Witch Hunter were based on a book. He teams up with a priest and a witch, played by Elijah Wood and Rose Leslie, respectively, in order to strike back against the evil witches. The witches and Diesel declare an uneasy truce, but one that lasts for centuries - at least, until the witches attack Diesel's friend and companion Michael Caine. Vin Diesel plays an 800+-year-old warrior cursed to immortality by a witch queen he killed. The Last Witch Hunter might be one of the most outlandish films coming out this year.
