Chris Metzen, not Matzen.

now we play the waiting game. will it be good or bad. i'm most excited to see the battles and how well the cg and makeup will be done

 

[logitic]

I want believe it until they start shooting film.

 

[opmopadop]

If blizzard had it their way I would have to pay a monthly subscription to watch the movie.

 

[Onyx2291]

Haha I'll have to see if I'd want to actually see this.. If it is ever made... In either case I'll probably watch it anyway at some point in time.

 

[acecombat]

Wasn't this what they announced like 2 years ago??? Oh I forgot...We're talking about Blizzard here.

 

[avatarprime]

The movie has been in development for a while now...

LOL too funny!

 

[El_Capitan]

I wonder if there will be a cameo of Lerooooooy Jenkins?

 

[exfileme]

Hope Mr. T will be cast in the movie. "I piddy teh foo who steals my gold!"

 

[connor m]

I hope this is true, I have been hearing about this "movie" for about 6 months now.

 

[invlem]

How about James Cameron instead? I'd like to see what a Warcraft movie with a 500+ million budget would look like

Blizzard would rather not release it then have it considered to be bad. So there is a possibility of it being canceled right up to the last minute. Everyone involved with the making of it should know that.

I honestly think it will be one of the funniest movies ever seen on film, especially for those familiar with the subject matter.

But it will also need to appeal to those who don't play the game as well, because more then 11 million people need to see it for it to be considered a success.

Blizzard can take years, sometimes a decade to make a game.

Expecting a movie by them before at least 2 years is unrealistic.

I bet they are still doing the story core.

 

[masterjaw]

They might gonna put this movie into BattleNet to "avoid piracy".

A decade might be a bit of an embellishment.

Well, the WoW intro movies were absolutely breathtaking. If they can do even better (4k resolution at 60+ FPS, compared to Blurays 2k resoltuion and 26FPS) on the visuals, and actually make it truly kick ass, it's a movie I'd pay $50 to see.
I absolutely loved the Warcraft lore, but lost interest in the game after the first expansion starting to mess with it.

This better not be some run down peice of crap with shiny CG though, it NEEDS to be EPIC. If Blizzard can do that, they have finally set themselves as gods.

$500,000,000 is way to small for this. And screw James Cameron. It needs to be more epic than that.
[citation][nom]Connor M[/nom]I hope this is true, I have been hearing about this "movie" for about 6 months now.[/citation]
They have been discussing this movie for years now.
I'm willing to wait years more for this. Blizzard may take their time, but they can make a damned fine game (hell, they scrapped SC Ghost because it was crap, even though they lost millions when they could have made millions), but they surely do take their time.
I payed $20 a month for two years, show me what me and 10,000,000+ have helped fund.

 

[my_name_is_earl]

Plz don't tell me this gonna take more than 10yrs.

 

[hixbot]

i'll only watch this if it stars mr t, and its done with only in-game graphics.

 

[tat2demon]

I have 5 bucks that says Raimi announced Spiderman 4 just to get out of making this train wreck of a movie.

 

[Guest]

$15 per/month x 15 Million subscribers = $225 Million
x 12 months = 2.7 Billion per year.

Yea, they have the money to blow on an epic flick.

With Chris Metzen doing the story, I already feel safer. I wouldn't mind him getting help from Richard A. Knaak too. Loved his stories. Sam Raimi on the set? Sure, that could work. It can't be worst than with Michael Bay.

But what about the cast? Let's go All-American or shall we introduce fresh blood, like LotR did? I'm not sure I want to see Dwayne Johnson as Thrall or Scarlett Johansson as Lady Proudmoore ... or do I???

I also hope they put in some winks for gamers, like Leeeeeroy or looting phat lewtz, but not too much as to distract from the story. We don't need another Star Wars : Episode 1!

 

[gwolfman]

It's milord btw!

I would seriously LOVE to take on directing/writing the script for this film. it would be a HUGE success if they went with the whole rise & fall of Arthas, it's original and i would imagine the cinematics to be a success, think of Avatar cinematics but with a better storyline...

I don't understand why they don't make it a 2 or 3-part movie series...
