The peaceful kingdom of Azeroth is on the brink of war. Two races, humans and orcs, face off in the fifteen seconds of the teaser of the Warcraft movie. Are you going to miss it?
The Warcraft movie recounts the origin story of the first encounter between two worlds, humans and orcs, with an emphasis on both sides of the conflict. On one side is Sir Anduin Lothar, leader of the human Alliance of the Kingdom of Stormwind. On the other is Durotan, orc leader of the Frostwolf clan and future father of Thrall (the Horde's war chief in the video games). Two heroes, one on each side, are about to clash in a confrontation that will change the fate of their family, their people, and their home.
These first fifteen seconds of the teaser can put Warcraft fans at ease: the film will take place in several locations that players will recognize from the video game series. The same goes for the characters, where we can find familiar faces like Magus Medivh, the Guardian of Tirisfal, or the brave orc warrior Orgrim, known for wielding the Doomhammer, among others. Blizzard Entertainment announced that it will present the film's trailer on Friday, November 6 during BlizzCon, the convention organized by the game's developer, so we'll have to wait to see what they have in store.
The starring cast is made up of Travis Fimmel (Lothar), Paula Patton, Ben Foster (Magus Medivh), Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell (Durotan), Ben Schnetzer (Khadgar), Robert Kazinsky (Orgrim), and Daniel Wu, among others. Based on the Blizzard Entertainment franchise and produced by Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures, the film will be directed by Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code). Warcraft is scheduled for release on June 10, 2016, and can be enjoyed in 3D and IMAX 3D theaters.
