Warcraft (June 10)
There’s a lot riding on Warcraft. It, along with the Assassin’s Creed film hitting in December, are big litmus tests for video game adaptations. Millions are invested in both projects with this one probably coming in more expensive due to the extensive CGI Orc characters and fantasy landscapes. It’s big, it’s bright and it’s the game through-and-through. The challenge facing the film: is the audience who wants to see the game on-screen big enough to stand out this summer? Is this Lord of the Rings or one of its many forgettable knock-offs? One thing is for sure: it isn’t a cash-grab. Director Duncan Jones is a passionate gamer and the story he’s chosen – the origin of the war between humans and Orcs – is compelling one, as is his decision to show the war from both sides. I’m pulling for Warcraft, even as I remain skeptical about its box office prospects.
Emilia Clarke doesn't know if her character will return.
