Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) has a feel for genre so I’m hoping that Warcraft (based on a video game I’ve never played) is a great movie. I love the idea of humans and orcs banding together to face a greater foe – it reminds me of a Bill Murray bit about the end times. Sue me.
Anyroad, the first trailer for Warcraft is here and it actually looks like it could be fun. Check it out after the jump. Warcraft will be in theaters on June 10th.

From Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures comes Warcraft, an epic adventure of world-colliding conflict based on Blizzard Entertainment’s global phenomenon.
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. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home.
So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something.
