Warcraft official trailer released
A tale of two worlds set for collision is the themes weaved throughout the beautifully crafted trailer for Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft. They teased the coming trailer earlier this week, but now we get to see this bad boy in full.
We’ve often been wary of video game films, but it seems with the events of recent years with online concept videos, Hollywood is set to make the plunge into video game movies the right way. So already this is new ground, and the trailer gives an epic sense of narrative scope.

The peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another.
