I’ve barely seen any fanfare
It really is the year of video game movies.
In addition toAngry BirdsandRachet & Clank(among others),Warcraftis readying itself for a release soon. How soon, you may ask? Well, June 10 in the US, and May 30 internationally. It’s weird, as I’ve seen very little in the way of promotion for the film, which might not be good news for the production. In the meantime, you can check out this recentWarcrafttrailer remake, as well as a few clips focusing on specific characters in the movie.
While video game films have been relegated to throwaway talent and first-time directors, seeing projects likeWarcraftwith Duncan Jones (who has helmed two solid films), andAssassin’s Creedwith Justin Kurzel, it makes me hopeful for the future. Hell,apparentlyAngry Birdswasn’t a disaster. I mean who knows? Maybe ifWarcraftdoes well we’ll see a sequel with Illidan and Arthas?
