“Anyone who makes films hopes at one point to get the chance to create a world, with strong diverse characters and vast numbers of locations,” says director Ducan Jones in the newly-released “Creating the World” featurette. “Warcraft is really the biggest kind of filmmaking you can do.” He later adds, “There’s an arms race going on in the film industry, to push technology. Maybe even some time we won’t be the coolest kids on the block anymore, but right now, we are!”

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.
