    General public to wait 5 months for warcraft trailer

    I as many others were really hyped to finally see the trailer for the warcraft movie, however when i booted up my pc this morning i saw the tweet from Duncan that we'll have to wait for november. So i was wondering and tried to google arround as why that is the case?`is there a specific reason they chose to delay the trailer by roughly 5 months? Anyone that was at sdcc that could maybe shed some light on the matter?

    i get that they wouldn't go full marketing this early, but wasn't it just a teaser that they showed? surely they won't be releasing a simple teaser in november, by then you'd expect a real trailer. i might be wrong though.

    Trailers are generally revealed around 6-8 months before release.

    Fucking retarded. Tease for weeks about the trailer inc.
    Then a few days before release:"HAH! Just for people at comic con! U fags can wait another 5 months".
    Should've said so at the start.

    It was a five minute long trailer. Those don't come until a couple of months before release.

    We'll get the 2-3min long trailer at Blizzcon, which is about the usual timing.

    You do understand that it's not Blizzard who is making or publishing the movie, right?

    Except they didn't. You bought into the hype made by fans, not blizzard or legendary pictures.

    Holy shit, are people really this upset about not seeing the trailer? Yeah it sucks but it's not like you are not going to see it eventually. I swear, there is something people on these forums.

    Besides, as far as i understood, SSDC didn't see the trailer either. It was more like a 5-6 min cut from the actual movie. There is no way they would show that, more so ELEVEN months before release.

    I only half agree. The entitlement on the MMOC forums in general just beggars belief.

    It was more like a three minute scene with two minutes of other scenes weaved in between.

    Introductory preview for the general masses who have no fucking idea what Warcraft is about.

    After following the movie thread for a couple of days, it sounds just like what we need.

    This thread's name should be "Everyone to wait 5 months for warcraft trailer". The trailer isn't done yet.

    I doubt the hype machine that bubbled up the Warlord's expansion on this site and elsewhere will be able to handle the hype they are about to give to this movie. People on these boards as well as elsewhere just love nothing more than to over hype something to death, then be so disappointed with the actual end results. If anything Warlord's should have taught most by now is to wait and see what is actually being done before over blowing the hype to make some seem better than it actual is. Some here and elsewhere will have themselves so hyped up over this movie that it will fail horribly when it does not end up meeting their expectations in the end. I can just see the outcry a year from now when the movie hits the street and many will come here and voice their displeasure.
