New 'Warcraft' trailer: An invasion threatens peaceful Azeroth, but humans and orcs must fight together to save the world
The new full-length trailer for Duncan Jones' movie adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment's "Warcraft" was released Tuesday and, compared with the first trailer, gives fans a much longer experience this time of the peaceful land of Azeroth, now about to be ravaged by war. As orcs spill into the world of men through the Dark Portal in order to escape extinction at the hands of a fearsome enemy in hot pursuit from dying Draenor, humans face destruction at the hands of the orcs. And the only way for the two races to survive is by forming an alliance.
"We've had peace in these lands for many years now. But one of our villages burned tonight," begins the "Warcraft" movie trailer just out from Legendary Pictures, Blizzard Entertainment, and Atlas Entertainment production.
"War is coming. An invasion," the trailer goes on, and strange- but awesome-looking orcs run into the shots.
