It wouldn't be the first time That was typical of many medieval castles. It went out of fashion after they ceased to be functioning castles. Most are ruins, some are preserved to an extent, and a few, like Alnwick, are still residential. I am occasionally surprised the Percy family survived the War of the Roses. That was a noble bloodbath. Alnwick got several post medieval makeovers. The mid 1800s renovation saw it returned to it's medieval form. By then plastering / whitewashing the walls was not being done. It's in a beautiful state of preservation for the most part. And I admit, I like the look of the stone walls I only brought it up because people were afraid it was "too new" in terms of the banners and so on. New it's not and it does look the part of large medieval fortress doesn't it?

And yes, I'm a castle junkie. I love the look, floorplans, history etc.

I've seen some more images, and I reckon the look they are deliberately going for is "what D&D players imagine medieval was like" rather than what it was actually like. It's kinda meta.

I'm pretty sure they could have found a whitewashed castle wall if that was the look they where after.

I'm not complaining, but shouldn't she be wielding something two handed?
Never mind, thanks for the update still wondering about the face mask, is she wearing another one on top of it?

She should go all monk a la Girl Fight movie.

There are sure a lot of castles in this movie!

She could well be a monk, remember that the rumour that she was playing a barbarian has been denied, at least officially.

Is the yellow robe thing actually part of the outfit, or just something she has thrown on over the top?

It's certainly possible.
I guess it depends how close to the actual game they want to go as I recall the original extra's on the Wrath of the Dragon God had them openly reading the 3e or was it 3.5 rulebooks.
Bought a blu ray that turned out to be about its original title and had different extra's on it.
Not as good as the one Region 1 dvd I mentioned above.

Worth a mention, I have seen rumours that Benedict Cumberbatch has a cameo in the movie.

He really does get everywhere doesn't he?!
