World of Warcraft Movie
MTV (via Worstpreviews) has talked to Frank Pearce, VP of product development at Blizzard Entertainment. And he confirmed that there is a World of Warcraft movie in development.
“Legendary Pictures is currently trying to assign some names to write the screenplay and find someone to direct it, so it’s still really early in production, they want to make sure they get the right talent for those different parts, especially the screenwriting, because that’s the foundation for the movie.”

And it looks like it won’t be be all CGI, we should rather expect a live action World of Warcraft movie:
[The idea of a complete CGI movie] has come up in discussions but it’s not something we’ve really considered because it takes so long to generate just the brief amount of footage that we create for the game. [...] That department’s focus is creating the footage for the games to tell the story; it would be a huge undertaking and it’s not really something that we’re ready to do anytime soon.”

If such an epic fantasy/adventure movie based on the popular video game series is ever released it would be a massive box office success! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for the movie World of Warcraft to happen soon!

This would be a great production and I would love to help in any way shape or form not sure with what just tell me what you need from someone like me! I live out in charlotte NC, and really have played all the games to the Warcraft and Starcraft. Nothing would make me more happy than to know I was apart of the grand Warcraft genarations, wether it be a actor of the heroes, narrator, or a director, editor. I mean this would be great I always wanted to be part of a film development. So please if there is any way I can help let me know asap. Thank and from a loving fan jimmy aka DKDJJJ24
I, like the other guy, would love to help with the movie in any way possible. I have read all the books out now, read up on all the lore on the website, and well all in all think me a warcraft nerd. I just hope that they stick with the actual story behind warcraft and don’t do what WOW does and implements its own stuff to please the masses that don’t know / care about warcraft history. If there is any thing i could help with just let me know.
WOW was a continuation of warcraft 3 i mean when you were questioning did you even read the quest or better yet did you even watch the cinematics when opening the game it tells you where your you are at in the story see its people like you that call yourself a wow nerd but don’t know anything about it! damn you pissed me off paul! anyway i think they should do the movie in CGI because it would be something a little different and you cant go wrong with it i mean yes it would take a long time but think about it you’re just going to have another bullshit movie like LOTR i mean look at Beowulf it was done in CGI and it was an outstanding movie and FF advent children another great CGI movie i’m telling you there’s only so much you can do with a live action movie but with CGI the sky is the limit
