World of Warcraft Movie Anyone?

[DirtyDog]

World of Warcraft is set to hit the big screens as a feature film!

The movie will be based around WoW's central conflict between the Horde and the Alliance and will be directed by Sam Raimi (Spider-Man director).

It may be a while before we see it though as it's not due until after Spider-Man 4 which goes into production next year.

List of films based on video games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Check the TBA list and the Direct-to-Video list. I know, I know, no references, but hey.

I dont think it will ever pass preproduction. Gaming movies always fail. My 2 cents

 

[tornadorex]

It would be interesting to watch, but I doubt it gets to the filming stage.

Will fail.

I want it to be good, but i just hate Sam Raimi.

 

[ElimDK]

Over done.

How the fuck can you possibly know if it'll fail? All WoW players will watch it, even if it sucks.
Also: the article is what's failing. The movie is based around Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, which was released in 1994. Saying that WoW was released back then is just an epic fail. Broadband internet wasn't even invented back then.

On a side note: still waiting for the Halo movie. Did Peter Jackson eat it or something? He sure looks fat enough to have eaten an entire ring planet.

Halo movie fell apart, isn't happening anymore.

lol @ halo movie. I mean, there's not much in terms of story, at least Warcraft has a ton of lore behind it.

Not all WoW players have terrible taste in films.

not even. There's no character in the main. Impossible to do a movie about a faceless, generic as hell commando.

I really don't care much for the Warcraft series. But, I will go see the movie should it go to the Silverscreen.
