Did ILM think this was a full CG movie with a stylistic art style? Because in that manner, it looks fantastic.

But then you see the live action stuff and it gets all sorts of funky.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Wouldn't be Warcraft without yet another retcon right?

They're going to use the arcane magic to age Thrall. Thrall will take over as protag halfway through.

Was there any allusion to it in the Chronicle book? I lent it to my brother to read so I can't check. There was a lot about Dalaran in it though.

Nope.

 

[orochi91]

Dalaran.

Those are some good looking Mosques, lol

 

[Zackat]

Is that Durotan punching Gul'dan in his face at the end too? I can't wait for the music in that Mak'gora scene. Hope they do it right.

 

[Spiritwalker]

With so many people who had played this game, how is this thread not more crazy active?

because it looks kind of bad

Yeah I think it looks absolutely terrible mashed together when you see orcs and humans side by side

Not really to me as a huge warcraft fan they nailed it also in terms of look and feel. Seeing in that short sweet trailer the dwarves of ironforge along with the small details.

More like our experience with video game movies usually end up in disapointement, why would this one be different right?

 

[Finaj]

I hope the new trailer causes more people to gain interest. I think the film gets better looking with each new clip of footage.

To me as a huge Warcraft fan it looks like shit.

 

[bengraven]

As a massive (World of) Warcraft fan, I have to admit that despite some shitty looking CGI backgrounds and makeup, I'm excited to get an actual Warcraft movie out there.

Now if someone can rescore it with...

Man, after 15 years of Jason Hayes and Russel Brower, rock music just does not fit the Warcraft aesthetic. When I think Warcraft, I think of stuff like Seasons of War.

The film's score is something I'm very interested to hear - especially if Ramin Djawadi uses themes from the games (which I'm sure he will in some capacity).

Seriously the best music ever. That makes me want to play WOW again after being forced to stop for the last couple years.

To me this is still Warcraft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlVSJ0AvZe0

I cannot phantom on you can see it like it's shit Gul'dan looks on point saw few glimpses of Medivh like i said before it has still some of what makes warcraft..warcraft a bit cartoony vibe because that's what they're going for.

 

[Noirulus]

As someone who's not into warcraft whatsoever, the non-CGI actors better do a good job.

Travis Fimmel is great in Vikings and Ben Foster is -so- underused.

 

[strafer]

Dalaran...so purdy.

 

[OricWindstar]

Ben Foster is -so- underused.

Fucking amen.

Is Rob Kazinsky playing an Orc? Liked him since his days in Eastenders

 

[Zackat]

He is playing Orgrim.

 

[Loxley]

Yep, Orgrim Doomhammer:

 

[FeD.nL]

We still don't know who Daniel Cudmore is playing yet he's gone on record saying he was shooting Warcraft for 5 months (basically the whole shooting schedule). So his role has to be significant.

Could we be seeing the formation of the Knights of the SIlver Hand by the end of the film?

 

[Generic Power Ranger]

The only issues i see are Comp issues. The CGI itself looks amazing. I'm sure they are working to iron out the comp things, and render missing things (like that shot in the first trailer without shadows)

 

[strafer]

I hope Chris Metzen has a voice cameo somewhere.

Jones already said the movie has adopted the Warcraft lore, it isn't following it 1-on-1. Certain changes were made to allow for a better story.

 

[RumblingRosco]

Yo - any murlocs in this?

 

[KodaRuss]

Dark Portal and Guldan hype. Damn this is starting to look good.

 

[Finaj]

I would expect a trailer tomorrow or Tuesday and be shown in theaters with Batman v Superman. It's just a good business move.

EDIT: Nevermind! It's today... at the Halo finals. Huh. Between this and the Overwatch thing, Blizzard seems to have a marketing deal with Microsoft.

If we're getting Hogger and Kobold references, I feel like Murlocs are guaranteed to show up at some point, or at least be referenced.

Awesome. I'm curious if these TV spots were ripped from the trailer or if it's something entirely new.

 

[Ryaaan14]

Guldan looks rly creepy 😰😰😰

 

[Finaj]

Turns out the "new" trailer was just the TV spot from Instagram. Whoever is marketing for this movie needs to be fired.

 

[Zackat]

Man I am so disappointed. Was really excited.

Well shit ><

 

[Dicer]

Another new trailer and a better look at Gul'dan. He looks bloody great! And oh my the dark portal in the background hngg!

http://blizzardwatch.com/2016/03/19/new-warcraft-movie-trailer-gives-us-first-look-guldan/

Better look at the dwarf as well, that section looks amazing to me...

 

[Finaj]

Turns out I was wrong. There was just a new TV spot shown with new footage, so they aren't -that- incompetent. There should be a new trailer in a couple of days.

Ahh, gotcha. I'm keeping an eye on the Legendary YouTube channel for when it gets posted.

 

[Syf]

Cool to see a bit of new footage but I want that new full trailer to drop

 

[Primethius]

Here's a link to the VOD timestamp showing the new footage: https://www.twitch.tv/halo/v/55664871?t=1h26m30s

 

[JB1981]

Feel like the movie looks much better after the latest TV spot

 

[Finaj]

It appears that Lothar fights some kind of golem in Karazhan.

 

[strafer]

He probably fails the chess event.

 

[frontovik]

I suspect Medvih was cheating again as usual.

 

[Syf]

He probably fails the chess event.

ha

 

[Zackat]

Do the colors look better in that TV spot or am I just buggin?

 

[Nokterian]

The dwarf and Ironforge looks stellar even the boxes in the background had that warcraft cartoony vibe to it.

This... actually looks kinda good.

mmm spines

 

[Milly Osworth]

The trailers are so bad. 3 trailers later and I still dont know what the movie is about.

 

[ironcreed]

I don't give a shit about WoW, but I want to see it because of Ragnar Lo...err...Travis Fimmel.

 

[Blade30]

There is only one trailer, the rest are tv spots.
