Warcraft: New Poster and TV Spot Released
Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures have released a new poster and TV spot for the upcoming big screen adaptation of Warcraft.
The new TV spot is short on dialogue and heavy on atmosphere and action. The opening is a variation on the movie's proof of concept sizzle reel shown at San Diego Comic-Con 2013, which we describe in detail here.
The international one-sheet below features the cast of the Duncan Jones-directed movie, with the poster divided into the Horde and the Alliance.
The poster's tag line -- "Two worlds. One destiny." -- succinctly sums up the movie's plot of two civilizations initially clashing before uniting against a greater threat.

Daredevil: Why Deborah Ann Woll Is OK Karen’s Still in the Dark
Minor spoilers for the first two episodes of Daredevil: Season 2 continue below.
It's been over a season, and Karen Page still doesn't know that her boss/crush Matt Murdock is the same vigilante who has been prowling the streets of Hell's Kitchen. Daredevil isn't the first superhero show to keep some of its key characters in the dark about its central masked hero's identity, but with the first two episodes of Season 2 proving that Karen isn't a woman who is easily fooled, it's hard to imagine that she hasn't started connecting the dots between Matt's late night adventures and the person ridding the streets of crime.

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow Developers Announce Mysterious New Game
Spanish developers MercurySteam have announced a mysterious new game alongside ex-Konami Head of Studio, Dave Cox, reuniting the team that created the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow action franchise.
Almost nothing is known about the game at this point, besides what we can glean from a few concept art screenshots and a teaser website that features a countdown clock - due to end on April 15. No details of genre, intended platforms or even who might act as publisher (if anyone) have been given.
Perhaps most revealing at this point is a single file title - that of the concept art that matches the teaser website's moody interface: "Mecha Inside". Are we about to see a new entry in the rather dormant mech genre?
