The sneaky bastards, while the world (well, the gaming part of it) is arguing about controllers and what not, Warners Brothers announces that they have aquired the rights to World of Warcraft. Hoping we woulden't notice. Well, we have. |

Does anybody else hope that Blizzard CG the whole thing instead of doing it live action? -

Yes.
But the last time Blizzard spoke about the project, they said the screenplay was set after WC3 and before WoW and would be from the human/alliance perspective. -

Yep. Hope Warner are just buying something Blizzard are producing. -

Ok. I have never followed the story of Warcraft, so I have no idea. Not having a go or anything.

Is it actually a good story? Or just run of the mill fantasy with "Warcraft" as the title. -

Registered 20 years agoRun of the mil fantasy, but it's the lore that keeps it interesting. That and the CGI videos they produce are brilliant. -

Registered 14 years agoSome of the Warcraft books are actually really good, and the RTS games stories are interesting too and develop the lore quite well.
WoW however is difficult to pin down as a 'story' as every players experience is different, but there is a main theme I guess which tends to be the way the high-end raiders go. (Albeit they kill the same things over and over for epic lewt).
I'd prefer they just did a warcraft movie as opposed to a WoW movie, that might just be me though. -

There's shitloads of lore for them to pick from as far as story goes, don't think that's going to be a problem. -
I don't really see how they can go wrong with it to be honest, so long as they don't pretend the World of Warcraft lore is up there with original works like J. R. R. Tolkien, it should be fine.
Just the thought of seeing the Wow cities in 'real life' is enough to get my bum on that cinema seat, so I suspect the other 8 million players will feel the same. Seeing all the races fighting it out could be awesome. -

A feature that was removed from the game.
Sam Raimi made some awesome movies. Could be good. -

Of course it will contain Bruce Campbell somewhere. It's a Sam Rami film afterall! -

Seeking some of the locations will be great, and it'll no doubt be full of references (hoping for Mankrik's wife). -
They should make an art film set in one room. The film starts of with a young good looking guy coming in the door and throwing his gym bag on the floor and sits at his computer. He then decides because he has nothing else to do that day he will start up WoW for the first time, as his mates have been talking about it.
The entire film is shot from one scene behind and to the side of his computer. And the film consists of his downfall. He gets increasingly fatter and unkept. You see the phone ring and after making excuses several times he eventually disconnects it. You see friends stop by at the door at the back of the room but they are also shunned with excuses.
After a while people stop coming. He has now turned into the complete opposite of his former self and is barely recognisable. Eventually he dies.
The film ends with one of those WoW funeral things which then gets crashed by a bunch of new players who think it is hillarious. The camera eventually switches to one of the players of the funeral crashers, it is a young fit and healthy lad who decided to give WoW a go today because his mates kept going on about it and said it would be a laugh.
Film ends with "The Circle of Life" from the Lion King.
Someone give me money. -
