New Warcraft TV trailer teases epic battle between Orcs and Humans

With summer blockbuster season fast approaching, studios are showing off a little more footage from their upcoming big budget movies. Already this week we've had new trailers for The Legend of Tarzan and X-Men: Apocalypse, and now Legendary Pictures have unveiled a brand new teaser for Duncan Jones' CGI heavy epic Warcraft: The Beginning. Check it out below...

The only words spoken in this mini-trailer are "rated PG-13", but it does a great job of teasing the film's scope and fantasy spectacle. At this stage, I'm more confident about Warcraft's visuals than I am the story, which will see orcs unite with humans to defeat a bigger threat. We can expect at least one more full trailer before the film opens in cinemas, so here's hoping we'll get a little more dialogue to go along with the action next time round.
