I was talking to my girlfriend a little while ago about how smart it would be to make a Warcraft movie based on a several facts. #1 fan base. #2 Lots of lore (already written story, just need a script). #3 I would make this movie I-MAX 3D and maybe use a little technology like some cartoon movies have now-a-days.(E.g.'Legend of the Guardians'- although for kids- had some extraordinary imagery. #4 Based on clips from the Warcraft games ('Reign of Chaos' in particular) you have very well done cinematics to help with costume and environments.#5 There is already perfect music (that should not be altered and must be used) for the movie with all kinds of themes from 'World of Warcraft'. Finally, I agree: the movie should definitely NOT be called 'World Of Warcraft' or 'Warcraft Movie'. Just call it 'Warcraft'- short and sweet. I think this is a great idea.

I'm actually excited about this. The “World of Warcraft” is expected to be a box office success starting with a huge following of millions of fans of the video game. This is good news for all WOW players out there. I am really looking forward on this movie. Sam Raimi seems like a good choice, he’s truly awesome as film director. I’m actually excited about this.

First question is, as always - why? It's a game. Sure, they could go into the back stories to flush out the world but it's two warring factions. They are most certainly to showcase it from the side of alliance (/snore) and diss the horde (boo!). As someone whose been playing since release and a film fan I wish I was excited but in all honestly - I'm not. I’m still in a bit of shock that they are doing this.

And with the way they love to ret-con their own shit, I hope they stay as far away from this project as possible. If they've got their hands all over it will be just like Avi Arad and Marvel on Spider-man 3. If Raimi wants to direct this movie, let him make what he wants to make. That's why you hire someone like him, because he can turn in a decent product. You start fucking with that formula and you get fanboys bitching about jazz dancing and Kirsten Dunst. “Blizz pulls in billions of dollars so they’d probably be allowed a lot of creative input to make a great movie.”
