Snippets of Warcraft
The first TV commercial for the upcoming Warcraft movie has arrived, and it’s packed full of neat new footage and all the stuff I love so far.
Still looks darn sweet! This is gonna be a hella cool movie. The CGI looks great! The Warcraft world looks great! You can see elves, Dalaran, orcs, Thrall; man, this is gonna be good! But here’s hoping I don’t reignite my World of Warcraft addiction after seeing this film.

The Warcraft Trailer With Original Game Sound Effects
The geniuses of the Internet have done it again! Here is the Warcraft movie trailer with sound effects from Warcraft II. It’s sublime.
This genius comes from Youtuber Robert Mermet. My hat is off to you, friend. This was masterful! Zug zug, indeed!

The Warcraft Trailer Again in Super High Definition!
I was in England when the Warcraft movie trailer hit the Internet, so I wasn’t able to share my thoughts — good thing I randomly stumbled upon this super high definition version yesterday! You’ve got to use the little gear button in the bottom right corner, but you can set this trailer to play at 1440p! Apparently that’s a thing now, and it’s beautiful!
The trailer looks amazing! The detail, the imagery, the iconic characters, beasts and locations, baby Thrall! I think Warcraft has become my most anticipated movie of 2016. We all know that Captain America: Civil War is going to be awesome. Warcraft is more of a gamble, and I like that. A gamble that looks like it’s going to pay off!

The Orcs are Coming! (Update!)
Update: Check out this sweet new poster that was just released today! So good!
The first trailer for the Warcraft movie is right around the corner. It’s going to debut at Blizzcon this weekend, and hopefully it’ll arrive on the Internet soon after. Granted, I’ll be in London, so I might miss it! But Empire magazine was kind enough to tease some screenshots from the movie.
Behold, Durotan, father of Thrall and Warchief of the Frost Wolves Clan!

Good times, that Durotan. Personally, I would have made the first movie about Thrall, but the filmmakers decided to go all the way back to the first Warcraft game and start the lore from the beginning. Mad respect for something like that. Let’s hope they can pull it off!
The Warcraft movie will be out next year. And be sure to watch the trailer as soon as you can!

The Orcs in Warcraft Are Going to Look Amazing!
I have been a Warcraft fan since the very first strategy game way back in the 90s. And since then, I’ve also been a huge orc fan (For the Horde!). So I have been excited about every bit of news coming out on the upcoming Warcraft movie, because the filmmakers sound determined to make the orcs as compelling in the film as they are in the game.
We can finally see the fruits of their labor with the first really good looks as Orgrim Doomhammer, the lead orc in the movie. Check this guy out!
Warrior born!
The pictures debuted on Wired.
The level of detail is astounding! Warcraft has always had amazing, computer-generated cut scenes. If they can bring that level of detail to the movie, and up its game to cinematic levels, we could be looking at some gorgeous CGI characters.
Here’s a better look at Orgrim.
“Lok’tar ogar!”
That’s actor Robert Kazinsky under that CGI, which they molded to match his face. You may remember him as the angry Jaeger pilot in Pacific Rim.
Everything I’ve seen and heard about the Warcraft movie so far has been amazing. I’ve definitely got my hopes up. You can check out some of the previous reveals here.
