ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) β “Warcraft” is hammering down on BlizzCon.
A trailer for the film adaptation of the long-running interactive fantasy series debuted to thunderous applause Friday at the fan convention.
The footage teased the tusk-filled, armor-laden conflict between orcs and humans that has been depicted in the 11-year-old online role-playing game “World of Warcraft” and the original “Warcraft” games from the 1990s.
“Warcraft” filmmaker Duncan Jones introduced the preview on stage at the Anaheim Convention Center with cast members Clancy Brown, Dominic Cooper, Ben Foster, Toby Kebbell, Paul Patton and Daniel Wu.
Activision Blizzard Inc. announced plans ahead of the trailer debut to create and release its own film and TV series based on the “Call of Duty” military shooter franchise and the “Skylanders” toy-game series.
“Warcraft” is set to debut June 10.
