The second office Warcraft trailer channels the MMO
Here’s a challenge – name a really good movie that started life as a computer game? I think the best game to movie story I know is Final Fantasy and even that’s a bit of a cheat. Warcraft is due out in June in the States and Duncan Jones’ movie might be the first one […]
