Duncan Jones' Warcraft

Time to play a game of Hearthstone to make the sadness go away.

Aw, I started a Hearthstone thread way back when but no one ever posted in it. Now my comp is down and I have no way to play.

Going from a rumored trailer release on Sunday to nothing until November is REALLY lame.

Hugely disappointed here. I was even thinking about it while I was out earlier.
 
Description of what was shown:

“Basically it starts with a focus on the Horde as it shows a bunch of them walking across the wilderness until they come to an area with a bunch of green orcs. We spend some time with the orcs as they realize they need to find food and water to save their world. It shows a lot of Toby Kebbell’s Durotan and his wife who is pregnant and that seems to be a big part of the story. But we see a wizard creating a portal from the souls of prisoners, the wizard creates the portal and the orcs rush through it and for that whole section we haven’t seen a single human. When they get through the portal, they first see the humans on horseback and we get to see King Llane and some of the other characters who say that the Horde are monsters that need to be destroyed. There was a lot of footage of all the characters but it kept coming back to Durotan and his wife who has the baby in the human world where he’s in danger.”

“The individual characters looked great but there were huge scenes with thousands of orcs and the scene where Medivh opens the portal was pretty impressive. The music was great and it definitely seems to be actual score from Ramin Djawadi (Iron Man, Pacific Rim). We did get a brief glimpse of the elves, very short. I haven’t played the game but the visuals do look like a much higher quality video game especially in the first few minutes with the Horde. It seems the characters are really being given a lot of life and dimension.”

Shouldn't have gotten our hopes up really. A year before release is quite a long time to release a trailer. IIRC Jurassic World got it's first trailer 5 months before release. November gives the film a large build up time and hopefully there'll be interviews and stuff in between then.
 
Duncan Jones just tweeted that the trailer will be released officially in November.
in November.

November. That's ridiculous. Okay, now I'm beginning to worry about this film.
 
Of course. November is after all cons. Thank you very much. :cmad:

Why? There's a year to go until the movie is released. How many movies get trailers released that early? Especially new franchises. It would be a mistake to start the hype too early.

That's seven months before the film is released. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. Avengers had its first trailer 7 months before. So did Winter Soldier and Age of Ultron. Not every film needs or should have a teaser released a year in advance. That's really only for the big franchises like Star Wars. We've already had teasers for this film 2 or 3 times at comic con with huge displays. They're not hiding this.

Legendary hiding this isn't what concerns me, it's having to wait another four frakkin months for it. Shouldn't have gotten my hopes up I guess.
 
Did the footage go over well? I saw people from Slashfilm say it looks nice, but they weren't quite sure what they were watching.
 
Not to mention by November all the CGI should be polished and giving the best first impressions we can hope for.

I guess, it's just that this thing has been in production so long it feels like the need to show us something already.
 
Maybe Duncan Jones can be Legendary's official Bad News Tweet guy.

"No trailer til November"

"No more bacon-wrapped crust at Little Caesars"

"your auntie died lol"

etc.

What's to worry? This film has a ton of post-production. I'd rather they wait and show us really amazing footage than something that might have unfinished shots in it.

Their criticisms were kinda nonsensical though, while one of the guys in Slashfilm liked it a lot, the other complained that it was too much CGI. In the leaked footage there's also a guy who mentions "CGI" was if it was a bad thing, and compares it with Avatar.

To be honest, while i'm glad to see films such as Star Wars and Mad Max returning to pratical, and even trying to evolve it, not every film needs to do that, Avatar worked so well because it pushed CGI beyond and still looks stunning 6 years after. I don't see the problem of another film going with that style.
 
Just saw the leaked footage. I was bored out of my mind!

Thanks for the heads up.

While the cam footage does not tell the finish quality of the CGI, I was impressed on how good the Orcs looked.
 
predictible reactions under comments of the leaked comic con video. people are disappointed. how would they not be? at comic con you expect a 3 mintue action packed trailer. not focus on ..............story and ...........characters.

p.s.: the guy next to the camera says that he doesnt like it because its all cgi like avatar.:lmao:

It has been in post-production for over a year now.
