A new Warcraft featurette has been released today, which features some of the upcoming movie's spectacular battle sequences.
Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures has turned one of Blizzard's flagship video game titles into a full-length feature movie. Warcraft has a huge following, and is one of the most popular video games ever released.
The short footage featured some stunning visuals. Slashfilm reported that this is a good sign, as the movie will be released in a few weeks. Slashfilm said that even moviegoers who have not played the game will appreciate the 'colorful, rich fantasy world' that is not usually showcased in films or TV movies.
"Anyone who makes films hopes at one point to get the chance to create a world," Warcraft director Duncan Jones said in the featurette. "With strong, diverse characters and vast number of locations, Warcraft is really the biggest kind of filmmaking that you can do."
The team aims to combine fantasy elements into the movie, and at the same time, have that realistic feel to it."Even though we are doing fantastical environment, it still has to feel real," production designer Gavin Bocquet said.
Producer Stuart Fenegan said that Jones wants to combine computer graphic generated characters and the live action characters, "in some of the biggest motion capture sets that has ever been created."
"It's hard to think of another project like this, with the scale of imagery that we have to produce," Bocquet said, adding that the team is "at the vanguard of something that hasn't been done before."
Duncan is confident that they have done fantastic work on Warcraft. "There's an arms race going on in the film industry to push technology," Duncan said. "Maybe sometime we won't be the coolest kids on the block anymore, but right now we are."
Warcraft will open in theaters on June 10.
