The marketing for the movie has been very weird. I don't get why they went for this choice of music. Would've liked to hear some tracks from the soundtrack of the movie... if there is any.

 

[Branduil]

wow, that looks fucking awful. not just the music (the song itself is great), but the way the traielr is set up and tries (and fails) to sell the film.

this whole marketing campaign....just wow.

The "two warring factions must put aside their allegorical racism to defeat a vague evil" thing isn't working for you?

 

[Slayven]

Such a beautiful women and they paint her green

1080p version btw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65AjY_nRdqE&sns=tw

 

[Zackat]

This is going to be in theaters right... millions of people going to see it...

Please just put some nice fantasy music in it. I know the movie has it.

How a marketing campaign ruins your movie's chances 101

 

[Majine]

Did r/cringe make this movie?

 

[Houndi101]

This is going to be in theaters right... millions of people going to see it

Well... Maybe in China?

 

[Quonny]

Looks fine. Are people really thinking this looks like shit or are they all "lol videogame movie"?

Not accusing, but curious. It looks like a dumb fantasy romp with lots of stupid explosions and bombastic moments. I dunno. Looks fun, and I think Warcraft (especially the lore good god) is pretty lame.

 

[Linkark07]

Less interested in this movie with each trailer.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Jesus fucking christ the Prodigy is drum and bass

Get it right

GAHHHH

Proto-dubstep®

 

[Mechanized]

People complaining about The Prodigy? Fuck y'all.

 

[Zackat]

Well... Maybe in China?

I meant the trailer, but huehue funnie.

To be clear I think the action shots and visuals look good. The orcs are badass.

People complaining about The Prodigy? Fuck y'all.

I like The Prodigy, it just doesn't fit with this movie at all unless I am completely missing something.

 

[Branduil]

All of these trailers just give the impression Duncan Jones only cared about the orcs and nothing else. The human side just seems so completely half-assed.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Looks fine. Are people really thinking this looks like shit or are they all "lol videogame movie"?

Its tracking to make under $100 million at the domestic BO right now...

 

[Majine]

Where the night elves at, yo?

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Jesus fucking christ the Prodigy is drum and bass

Get it right

GAHHHH

My brother used to blast our house with dnb always just sounded bland to me.

 

[Pineapple]

When I first heard about this film, I thought it had the potential to be a beautiful, epic fantasy film with the scale and production value of something like Lord of the Rings - and honestly, that could have been a reality.

After watching this trailer, though, along with the music that accompanied it...I'm having serious doubts as to whether I'm even going to be in the theater on opening weekend.

Could be a Metzen thing.

I'm only going for the orc. I know what people are like.

 

[The Lamonster]

I am so pumped for this.

 

[GraveRobberX]

I still standby that this movie will make money, you heathens!

Good enough for a sequel!

Bring me Arthas and The Lich King
Funny how I've never been a WoW fanatic, yet I love the lore!

I am so pumped for this.

[SketchTheArtist]

These trailers are terrible. I'm sure the movie will be fun but jesus those trailers.....

 

[Houndi101]

Its tracking to make under $100 million at the domestic BO right now...

Fuck, really? Gooooodddamnit. The studio must have no hope for it all, what a shame..

 

[Majine]

I can't wait for the RedLetterMedia review!

 

[inky]

Wait, Ramin Djawadi did the music for this? I want to listen to that.

 

[Smoolio]

I so want this to be good, need my Warcraft 2 Blackrock Mountain Battle and Warcraft 3 Betrayal scenes on the big screen.

 

[Puruzi]

Dubstep?

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

This looks like Peter Jackson's feverish wet dream

 

[Spacebar]

Where are the elves?

 

[Ventilaator]

It's a bad trailer, but the movie still looks fine to me.

 

[Dominator]

Duncan Jones is a capable director, Moon is wonderful and I fucking LOVED Source Code. Will watch anything he does.

 

[georly]

The marketing team on this has no idea what they're doing. Especially the twitter branch. All feels so amateurish, like the production company just handed this off to their interns since they have other, more important stuff to do.

 

[Cat Party]

Its tracking to make under $100 million at the domestic BO right now...

Fuck, really? Gooooodddamnit. The studio must have no hope for it all, what a shame..

More than most films, the Asian markets cannot be ignored.

 

[AuthenticM]

This movie looks okay. And it has Duncan Jones as a director. Surely the movie will be alright.

 

[Atrophis]

The Prodigy are not dubstep for fucks sake. They are not dnb either.

I want this to be good but I have so little faith in this. Makes me sad because Jones is a good director. Hope this doesn't ruin him.

 

[GraveRobberX]

Hey remember when BvS was gonna destroy BO records and Deadpool would be DOA, yeah let's forecast shit way too fucking early

How did it all turn out?

Gods of Egypt is MOAB the way it was handled, if you want a trainwreck go see that new Tarzan trailer to go yeesh... Look @ its budget too!

I predicted at least $100-150mil domestic but at least $300mil+ easily foreign
Russia and China to the rescue

 

[denx]

The marketing is complete balls. The studio clearly doesn't know how to market the film. I'm pretty sure the movie itself will be fine.

And yeah guys, The Prodigy has never been dubstep. Learn your electronic music.

 

[What did he mean by this?]

Its a video game thing for the kids right? Throw all the oneliners and dubstep you can in there

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Hey remember when BvS was gonna destroy BO records and Deadpool would be DOA, yeah let's forecast shit way too fucking early

Its opening broke records exactly as predicted.

It was WoM that destroyed its legs.

 

[ldcommando]

Great music on this trailer

 

[SuperBanana]

He hates the marketing so bad. I don't blame him though. I have way more trust in Duncan Jones after 2 great movies.

 

[Nokterian]

I feel for you duncan the marketing has been weird since that marketing department is so bad at it and doesn't know what there doing. Still looking forward to the movie but to see Ryan Reynolds who had influence with the marketing team at fox with deadpool i cannot believe duncan can't do shit isn't nice from universal and even legendary.

 

[Salty Rice]

Dubstep? Thats not Dubstep.

Cant wait to see it. Hope its a success and starts the fantasy/videogame movie era.

 

[John Kowalski]

Looks like someone forgot to give those props some weathering.

 

[Hystzen]

No wonder Duncan Jones is pissed and baffled at the marketing team for this movie. What the hell are they doing

 

[No_Style]

Something about how the the movie is lit makes it look too fake. It's like the intentionally wanted to remind the audience it's fake.

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

The musical choice was terrible and there were so many generic lines that I lost count.

But fuck it we haven't had a big fantasy movie in forever.

Last Hobbit film is only 2 years old...

 

[A Serious Man]

Copying and pasting Warcraft's exagerrated cartoon-like design to a live action movie was a big ass mistake.
