Earlier this week, a video for what appears to be the trailer for the upcoming Warcraft movie leaked online, giving fans their first look at the highly anticipated film.
Though it unfortunately came in the form of grainy, shaky footage covered in user ids, the impressiveness of the trailer led some fans starved for an official first look to question why Legendary just didn't release the official high-quality version now.
Director Duncan Jones didn't appear mad when asked how he felt about the leak, but did express sentiments similar to fan reaction.
@Absnthminded I just wish we could show the real thing. 🙂

In another tweet, Jones playfully ribbed anxious fans.
@Willy_Foss @warcraftmovie you don't like it at low res and covered in user ids?!

Some Warcraft footage was shown behind-closed-doors at San Diego Comic-Con, but the video was kept private. It's unclear if this new video is the same as what was shown in July.
For those who are dying to see a piece of "the epic phenomenon that will become a worldwide event," you can view the leaked trailer in all its shaky cam glory here.
