When entertainment reporters asked actress Jamie Lee Curtis who she was wearing at the Warcraft premiere, the actress probably answered "Orc."
That's because Curtis showed up at the event in full costume as an orc character from the World of Warcraft video game, proving that she's probably one of the coolest people in Hollywood.
Curtis is no stranger to cosplay, though: she's proven her love for all things World of Warcraft previously. She once showed up at Blizzcon as an undead Forsaken. Not only that, but Curtis turned up at last year's Evo as Vega from Street Fighter. That trip was a high school graduation present for her son, but it seems the actress enjoyed the con, too.
Here's Curtis at the premiere for Warcraft:
Curtis' outfit was such a hit that she posed for multiple photos with the movie's cast, as well as with fans attending the event. But even better, she actually recorded a video that showed off her knowledge of the game and paid homage to WoW character Leeroy Jenkins, who is known mostly for screaming his name as he runs into battle.

What's even most interesting is that Curtis isn't actually in the Warcraft movie: she's just supporting it like everyone else, as a fan. The actress has geek cred to go along with her incredible talent and illustrious career.
The theatrical release of Warcraft is on June 10, but so far, early reviews aren't good. The film only has 17 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Although fans praised the trailer early on for its amazing visuals, it seems that the movie has little to offer (although Warcraft fans might beg to differ).
For those who still want to see the movie, though, there's an incentive: everyone who attends the movie at Regal, United Artists or Edwards theaters gets a free download of MMORPG World of Warcraft. Fans can redeem their movie ticket receipts for the download code. Although it's likely that many who see the movie are already quite familiar with the game, Blizzard hopes to attract some new blood through the movie.
