Blizzard knows its audience -- and it knows that most of its audience is probably following at least one cosplayer on Facebook. It's no surprise then that a number of cosplayers were invited to Warcraft premieres around the world, bringing with them epic armour and skin painted in almost all colours of the rainbow (but with a distinct preference for green).

Remember the moment when last year, director Duncan Jones recorded Alliance and Horde war cries in the audience for the Warcraft movie? The Alliance one is already in the first trailer.

World of Warcraft and the official Shrek origin story (aka the Warcraft movie) are separate. Mostly. However, the movie has gotten Blizzard thinking about older Warcraft games -- and how they could bring them back.

There's not a whole lot in this video, but what's there is pretty bloody good.

Last weekend at Comic Con, the folks behind the Warcraft movie showed off a bunch of footage that was meant to be exclusive to the show. As was inevitable, it's leaked.

On the left side we have the lead from the excellent Vikings TV series in a wig looking stoic. On the right... well I suppose that's an orc, if orcs looked like humans with horrid prosthetic faces.
