Could this be the video game movie that transcends the "Well, it's fun to watch" cop out when discussing the video game movies considered good by being actually good?

...there are fans of the game who don't trust them to write an interesting story for the game and spend countless hours and days bitching about the same old tired arguments and declaring the developers biased of one side or another. I can only imagine the endless amounts of fanboy rage that will exist over the story for a freaking movie...
This is going to be a Schadenfreude BUFFET!

Duncan Jones? He'll always be Zowie Bowie to me!
I have no interest in WoW but I'll be watching it as I've loved both his films so far.

I assume it will probably be about the Litch King as thats the most obvious IMO.
But I would have prefered Diablo being adapted into a movie instead as I feel that lends it self to a being better to translate.

No buys. Making a movie about a game with no main character and no definitive bad guy... I'm out.

How exactly would you make a movie about World of Warcraft? I haven't really played much of it myself, but isn't the fun of the game making your own character and going off to fight others?

If it's just the Warcraft universe in general then there are a lot of things you can focus on. Thrall, Varien, and Malfurion could all make good protagonists, and for villains you have the Old Gods, Litch King, and burning Legion. There is enough lore in the games to carry a movie. BUT more often than not the way these stories are told is awful and the canon is filled with retcons and inconcistancies. Add to the fact that good Video Game movies are almost non-existant and we could have a bonified stinker on our hands. |

Hopefully he packs the movie full of sexy Draenei chicks. Yes, I'm aware of how sad it is that that is my main focus.  Really though, there is potential for a good fantasy warfare flick to be made. Odds I suppose are against it being anything really memorable, but I somehow get the feeling that I'll end up enjoying it. As long as it's made well enough and has all the right characters. |

Do you have even a passing familiarity with the Warcraft universe? Anyway, the movie should have good directing. It's the script and budget I'm worried about. As long as Chris Metzen isn't writing the script and serves in an advisory role, this actually has potential. |

The only hint Metzen has dropped about a story is something to the effect of "Varian might have a brother...". Of course things can change. As for people complaining about the movie, have you ever read the official forums? People will complain no matter what Blizzard does. |

I will say that having seen what the Lich King looks like, that'd be interesting to see on film but I'm kind of envisioning Lord of the Rings without the rings when I think how this might work. |

along with legend of zelda, WoW is probably the next multi-movie franchise that could actually work
