Check Out These Stills From Duncan Jones’s New Netflix Original ‘Mute’

by The_acz

While 2016’s Warcraft didn’t go exactly the way that director Duncan Jones wanted it to, that’s not going to stop him from moving forward with some of his newer projects.

Jones’s newest project titled Mute is a more traditional return for him. Mute is a Netflix original that stars Alexander Skarsgard, Paul Rudd, Justin Theroux, and more. The story centers around Skarsgard’s character Leo, who is a mute bartender due to childhood trauma who all of a sudden finds himself searching for his girlfriend, played by newcomer Seyneb Saleh, in the deep underbelly of Berlin, the city he lives in. The film is a futuristic thriller and is planned for a 2017 launch on the platform sometime this year.

New ‘Warcraft’ Featurette Digs Into The Film’s Incredible Production Design!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It’s nearly here!

Duncan Jones highly anticipated Warcraft is just over two weeks away from theatres, and Legendary has just debuted a new featurette which digs into the film’s incredible production design.

The featurette shows off the importance of melding visual effects with real locations, and while we don’t know just how good Warcraft will be at this point, it’d be pretty tough to say that the film isn’t gorgeous.

In Warcraft, 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.

New ‘Warcraft’ TV Spot Shows Off More Insane Effects!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re still a couple of seasons away from Legendary’s beyond anticipated Warcraft adaptation to finally hit the big screen, and today the film’s first TV spot has hit the web, showing off some more incredible effects, as well as making us remember that director Duncan Jones is likely having a really tough time right now (sorry, Duncan).

In any case, it’s a great spot, that showcases a little more of what our humans and Orcs are set to endure during the feature. In the film, 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.

Holy cow! What a day so far. Activision Blizzard announces they’re starting a film and TV studio, and now this! We had the teaser for the Warcraft movie earlier this week, but now the full monty is here! Check out the trailer below.

I’ll be honest, I was more hyped when I saw the teaser trailer a few days ago. This makes me believe that this will just be a generic fantasy story set infront of pretty green screens. Well I’m gonna hafta wait to find out!

SDCC 2015: Legendary Comics Announces ‘Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood’ Graphic Novel!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: This is exciting.

I was a huge fan of the prequel graphic novels for Legendary’s Pacific Rim and Godzilla, and I was hoping that their next massive, tentpole release, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft, would be getting the same treatment.

Well, my wish has been granted, as Legendary has just revealed that next year’s Warcraft will receive a prequel graphic novel titled Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood.

Story information for the book has bot been revealed at this point, but the “thrilling adventure of bravery, bloodshed and brotherhood is an original story conceived by Blizzard’s Chris Metzen, written by the award-winning Paul Cornell (Doctor Who) and featuring art from Mat Broome (Batman: No Man’s Land, WildC.A.T.S., Witchblade).”

The book is scheduled for release just a few weeks before the film hits theatres, in May 2016.

We’ll be sure to share more info as soon as it’s available, but for now, take a look at the key art below, and let us know if you’re excited! Legendary has a huge presence at this year’s convention, so stay tuned for more, straight from the show floor.

We Get Our First Look At Orgrim Doomhammer From The ‘Warcraft’ Movie

by Shane O'Hare

Video game film adaptations have been, at least in the last ten years, have been met with trepidation. Gamer’s have a somewhat awkward stance to take. One one hand we want to see our favorite properties adapted into another medium, and on the other hand we don’t want Uwe Boll (full disclosure, I love Uwe Boll but the comedic balance needs to be met in my posts). Ever since the Warcraft film was announced way back in 2006, and filming didn’t even start til 2014, the community has been flip flopping on excitement.

One of the biggest worries was how dependent on after effects the film would rely on. Well today we got ourselves a little tease of what one of the main characters, Orgrim Doomhammer, will look like in the upcoming epic, and this geek is frankly excited for the CG Orc!

Orgrim Doomhammer is going to be played by Robert Kazinsky (I had to look him up too, Pacific Rim apparently). Director Duncan Jones was quoted in a Wired Magazine interview saying:

We were looking for someone who would be able to perform the gruffness, the humor, and the toughness of this character.

The Warcraft movie is set to hit theaters (pending anymore push backs) June 10th 2016!

Duncan Jones’ ‘Warcraft’ Pushed To 2016!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It was just last month that Universal set the release date for Duncan Jones’ Warcraft… and now they’re changing it.

Instead of duking it out with the likely-undefeatable Star Wars: Episode VII, the film has been pushed to a much safer date: March 11, 2016.

A plethora of other Universal / Legendary films have also received date changes (or reveals), including Seventh Son (now Feb. 6, 2015), the Michael Mann / Chris Hemsworth cyber-terrorist film will release on January 16th, 2015, while The Mummy reboot will drop on April 22nd, 2016.

Are you sad to hear of Warcraft‘s date change? Or do you think it’s better off in 2016? Sound out below!

Duncan Jones’ ‘Warcraft’ Gets A Release Date!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The release date of Duncan Jones’ anticipated video game adaptation, Warcraft, has just been revealed.

2015 is sure set to be an amazing year for movies, huh? The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Star Wars: Episode VII, Batman vs. Superman (or whatever it’s called), Jurassic World, Fantastic Four, and plenty of other sure to be blockbusters are slated for the year. Now, Warcraft joins the bunch. The Legendary / Universal picture will hit theatres on December 18th, 2015.

Details on the film are still scarce. No actors have been officially cast (though allegedly discussions have begun), and we’re still not sure what sort of plot the film will follow. In any case, we’re excited as hell for this one. With Duncan Jones attached, and some of the rumoured actors that may be on board, Warcraft could be the best video game adaptation yet (and it wouldn’t even have to be that good to garner that title).

Are you looking forward to the film?
