Shadow of Mordor - Live Action "Trailer"

The live action "trailer" of Shadow of Mordor isn't actually a trailer at all. It's a privately made short film based off of the Shadow of Mordor by Corridor Digital. It's a relatively impressive 7 minute action film centered around what appears to be the main character from the video game of the same name.

Filmed in Utah, the setting gives the viewer the similar visual stimulation that the game does, at least from the open world concept. The acting is as good as it gets when it comes to orcs, and the human protagonist doesn't have much dialog or acting in general. All in all, it seems like a good 3rd party advertisement for the upcoming video game (whether the advertising was accidental or not).
