Trailer for Warcraft [WARCF] Antibody Nov 06, 11:34

Human - Orc romance?! {nm} Antibody Nov 06, 11:39

Avatar vibe. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 06, 11:42

To be honest, less avatar than I expected {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 06, 11:46

Gonna short that movie bigtime. shaunwins Nov 06, 11:49

Only 3 video game adaptations have cracked $30m and I don't see this doing it despite its popularity. At least Croft had Jolie eye candy. {nm} RollingThunder Nov 06, 11:56

Despite that, Warcraft's popularity now dwarfs that of Tomb Raider at the time. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 06, 11:58

The challenge will be to get all those nerds out of their parents' basement. {nm} hyperzeitgeist Nov 06, 12:00

They manage to get out for comic book movies. I doubt there's a big difference in the core fans of those two {nm} MattW Nov 06, 13:29

But the game is new every time compared to a comic or movie. Also, people have to be online for guild quests. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 06, 14:16

Many of the hardcore WOW fans will just torrent the film, and there is no way, imo, this movie will attract the mainstream audience. {nm} shaunwins Nov 06, 12:02

Good point about the piracy. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 06, 12:13

Scott Mendelson thinks it could be the next big fantasy franchise (rolls eyes). hyperzeitgeist Nov 06, 14:07

I just go with the opposite of what he writes. {nm} RamsFan2004 Nov 06, 14:17

Another guy at Forbes HATED it... (link) RamsFan2004 Nov 07, 04:30

As a former warcraft player, I think this looks pretty good :) {nm} warcraft86 Nov 06, 13:33

As a current WoW player it looks pretty bad Gary Cribbs Nov 06, 14:23

Brings to mind the Guardians of the Galaxy trailers, which everyone thought were crap. Until the movie hit the theaters. {nm} erhead56 Nov 08, 06:20
