At today's San Diego Comic-Con, Legendary Pictures released a 30-second "mood trailer" for the Warcraft movie. Photography was not allowed during the release of the Warcraft movie concept trailer, and the official also had no plans to release the video. As such, we can only rely on the written descriptions provided by the media present at the time:

Under a green-lit sky, a ragged, armored figure resembling a "knight" walks through a desert (possibly Hellfire Peninsula). After drinking the last of his water, he draws a large sword from his back, its hilt and blade adorned with dragonhead emblems.

He looks around and sees the remains of a dead warrior, armor now reduced to bones. He approaches, picks up an Alliance shield marked with a lionhead emblem, then strikes it with his sword.

The camera pulls back to reveal the silhouette of a green-skinned orc, gripping a massive warhammer. Both charge towards each other, their weapons clash, and then the film's logo appears.

Audience members and fans at the event praised the trailer as very cool. Director Duncan Jones also expressed that he is a devoted fan of the Warcraft games and felt extremely excited to be making this movie. Filming will officially begin in early 2014.
