WoW Moviewatch: The Scourge - Episode I trailer

Fal Bulon has a new, upcoming series called The Scourge. In case you don't recognize the name, Fal Bulon is the same German author who brought us Revenge of Akama. Like his previous work, "The Scourge" is spoken in German, and subtitled in English. We only have a trailer to look at right now, but we can be hopeful for the upcoming movie.
"The Scourge" has the same high-end production values we saw in "Revenge of Akama." The action is distinct and effective. Fal Bulon uses the lighting in his scenery to lend urgency and intensity to his characters. Overall, it was definitely fun to watch.
The trailer doesn't have a lot of plot indications, which is probably fine for a trailer. We know that the Scourge are attacking, and the orcs and humans are both caught up in it. We have epic indications of leaders making hard choices, and we have a whole bunch of fighting. (Knowing is half the battle, but the other half always comes down to fighting.)
Ultimately, this is a great trailer, and I can't wait to see the movie.

I think it would be great if some of these movie makers took the opening quests of the Death Knight and made a well designed movie from the concept.
Could even be a contest with Action, Drama, and Comedy categories. But an action/drama machima movie of some character going through the steps of those quests and working with...then defying the Lich King would be epic.

How many of these "trailers" actually become movies? My guess is not too many...

I can't get past the German voiceover. The only thing I can think of is some really bizarre, gross, but very funny flash cartoons from this (now defunct, I think) company called Bullseye Art. There was an episode that was mostly voiced in German, and it had basically the same distortion type effect going on here... I just can't take this seriously...

It might just be me but I think the machinima fad is coming to an end...

SECONDED! There have been some really, REALLY impressive trailers on here. Have ANY of them borne fruit? We lust for completion! We yearn for closure! We hunger for EPICS. Epic movies!
Would you be willing to check back on the various trailers that have been posted, and do a "Where are they now?" post?
