Explore Azeroth and Allerdale Hall in new Warcraft and Crimson Peak VR videos

During Comic-Con, Legendary Pictures promoted the upcoming Warcraft and Crimson Peak movies with a virtual-reality experience that lets them soar over the land of Azeroth or explore the shadowed corners of a haunted mansion using Google Cardboard. Now those same VR experiences have made the transition to YouTube, offering everyone an interactive tour of the two films’ key settings.

Titled Warcraft: Skies of Azeroth and Beware Crimson Peak, the two videos let viewers pan 360 degrees in any direction as they’re taken on a tour of each environment. For the Warcraft video, you’re soaring above a massive city as you ride on the back of a gryphon. In the Crimson Peak video, you tour the terrifying mansion of Allerdale Hall — the primary setting for the film — as Tom Hiddleston narrates your journey.

It’s recommended that both VR experiences be viewed using the Google Chrome browser, of course.

Directed by Duncan Jones (Moon), Warcraft adapts the popular game series into a big-screen adventure starring Dominic Cooper as King Llane Wrynn, Travis Fimmel as Anduin Lothar, Ben Foster as Medivh, Ben Schnetzer as Khadgar, Ruth Negga as Lady Taria, Clancy Brown as Blackhand, Toby Kebbel as Durotan, Robert Kazinsky as Ogrim, Daniel Wu as Gul’Dan, and Paula Patton’s Garona.

The first trailer for Warcraft is expected to debut in November, and the film is scheduled to hit theaters June 10, 2016.

As for Crimson Peak, the gothic haunted-house thriller is directed by Guillermo del Toro and stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland), Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty), Tom Hiddleston (The Avengers), Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy), and Jim Beaver (Supernatural). The film follows a young author whose relationship with a mysterious stranger brings her to his family’s ancient estate — a mansion that “breathes, bleeds, and remembers.”

Crimson Peak arrives in standard and IMAX theaters October 16.

10 best action-comedies of all-time, ranked
Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon.

While straight action films like John Wick are far from extinct, it's the action comedies that tend to become the popular box office hits. Movie fans just love to laugh at the funny parts while enjoying the accompanying action. Not every action comedy is created equal, and Hollywood has admittedly gone to the well with the buddy-cop movies a little bit too often.

This weekend, The Fall Guy is the latest action comedy to attempt to give the genre some fresh blood, even though it's technically based on a TV series from the '80s that has largely been forgotten. Regardless, that's as good a reason as any to update our list of the best action comedies of all time. It would be too easy to load up this list with films from the '80s and '90s, when action comedies were at their peak. However, we've also saved some slots for more recently released action comedies that deserve some recognition as well.

If you have to watch one Hulu movie in May 2024, stream this one
Tom Hanks in Cast Away.

It's a new month, and that means new movies on Hulu. And somebody over there really loves Tom Hanks. Because in this month alone, Hulu is adding Hanks' directorial debut, That Thing You Do, one of his most iconic films, Big, and one of his most recent hits, Elvis. But if we had to choose only one Hulu movie to stream in May 2024, then our pick is another Tom Hanks movie: Cast Away.

Robert Zemeckis directed the film from a script by William Broyles Jr. It cast Hanks as Chuck Noland, a FedEx employee who survives a plane crash in the Pacific ocean, only to find himself stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere without anyone to turn to but himself. Cast Away was actually a big hit in late 2000 and during the early part of 2001, earning $429.6 million worldwide. That may not have translated into Oscar gold for two-time Best Actor winner Hanks, but Cast Away is an unforgettable film that deserves a new audience nearly 24 years after it hit theaters.
