Blizzard Confirm Warcraft Movie Still Being Made

It's been months since there was any news on Blizzard's planned live action Warcraft movie, so fans may be forgiven for thinking the project had been put on hold.

However, a community manager confirmed yesterday that the project is still full steam ahead.

Good news. Has there been any word on who's to direct it?

[Leord]

Not that I know of. I know they are making the screenplay, that's the last I heard.

[Daver]

fu!k that... confirm us that diablo 3 will be release in 2009. that would be a news!

[Maticus]

Heh, not much chance of that I'm afraid :P

[Leord]

Oh man, it would be so nice to get an actual promo clip or anything shown about it...

[kalos]

Think they need someone to direct the promo clip, let alone the movie, first :P

[Dorjan]

Let's hope it's better than the D&D movies...

[Leord]

Well, they would have to make a great effort to make it WORSE, that's for sure...

[SuperM]

Dont worry. Blizzard does not want to ruin their greatest franchise with a crappy movie. And legendary picture is behind alot of kickass movies. Including Batman and 300.

I have great faith in both blizzard and legendary pictures and i think this can be the best game to movie adaption ever.

[Maticus]

I agree SuperM, Blizzard are renowned for not doing things unless they are perfect. I'm also confident in them and Legendary.

[Maticus]

I reckon they'll make an announcement this year, hopefully at the WWI or BlizzCon.

Oooohh Warcraft id dig this movie,i just hope it gets a good director and scriptwriter. The only game movie that im seeing right now thats gonna get a lot of fans angry is Dragonball.

[ezcex]

sigh...they fvcked draonball in the ass without lube

[dredgewalker]

Some anime's are better off as animes. I wont ever see that Dragonball movie cause it looks much worse than the Street Fighter movie with Van Damme. But this Warcraft movie has potential since i like watching Conan movies when i was young.

[LeGenDx]

WHOS WITH ME! ?

[dredgewalker]

Im rooting for Thrall to be the main character of the story, a lot of humans in warcraft are complete jerks if you read the novels.

[LeGenDx]

the rts and theres a mod for it, its called DOTA ( defences of the ancient ) pretty good game and i find the warcraft storys to be very interesting

[dredgewalker]

I know its a great mod with a lot of replay value, ive been playing DOTA for years and we even have bets on cybercafe's, and sometimes it ends in fights outside.....quite sad. DOTA's quite a big game in Asia and its been used a lot in tournaments, sadly our country hasnt done well. I mostly use Agi characters like Traxex and Kardel.

2 weeks after duke nukem.

With the amount of money Blizzard has been profiting off of WOW since the beginning, I hope this becomes a big budget movie and not another "videogame movie".

[Maticus]

Blizzard have said the movie will have a massive Budget. Also, that the main character will be a human, but it won't portray the Orcs as bad (Blizzard are pro-horde anyway :P ).

[Joey Greco RULES]

bet on it.
