Editors’ Choice: Interactive, live-action film from The Martin Agency, director Neil Huxley and MPC is a violent beauty
Group_3646
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today launched a ‘Campaign That Never Forgets: Friend or Foe’, for its new video game ‘Middle-earth: Shadow of War’. 

Created by The Martin Agency, the central point of the campaign is an interactive live-action film directed by Neil Huxley (Avatar, Watchmen), shot by DOP, Fabian Wagner (Game of Thrones), and with post production by MPC. It faithfully recreates the award-winning Nemesis System, driving viewers to make key story decisions during the siege of a fortress in Mordor. 

Those decisions then result in a personal relationship with a specific Orc as a loyal ally or vengeful enemy, which will extend beyond the interactive trailer and follow viewers across the internet, emulating the gameplay experience created by the Nemesis System. 


There is also a non-interactive film - check that out below. 



In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, players now have entirely new ways to journey through the dynamic world, with more choices and opportunities than ever before due to addition of Orc Followers. Whether spared, scarred, recruited or marked, every encounter will be remembered and help fuel the dynamics of society and conflict within Mordor, all brought to life through the expanded Nemesis System.
 
Set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, Middle-earth: Shadow of War” is an open world action RPG that continues the original narrative of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor. Players will be engrossed in a richer, more personal and expansive world full of epic heroes and villains, iconic locations, original enemy types, more personalities and a new cast of characters with untold stories.
 
Middle-earth: Shadow of War will be available for Xbox One X, Xbox One, Windows 10 PC (Windows Store and Steam), PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro beginning October 10, 2017.
