Warcraft Movie

[2-P]

"Blizzard Entertainment Inc. and Legendary Pictures are suiting up for war.

The companies are teaming to produce a live-action film based on Blizzard's award-winning "Warcraft" video games, with Legendary acquiring movie rights to the "Warcraft" universe....

...The movie would not follow one of the games but rather be set in the epic fantasy universe..."

I hope that this isn't going to be another crappy game movie.

 

[Zero R.]

Aww, damn.

Well, here's to hope that the plotline isn't gonna be crappy.

Sounds awesome, can't wait to see how a Warcraft movie would turn out

Does anyone have any information as to whether the movie would be pre or post Warcraft 3? I would like to hear anything about that.

Hopefully, Blizzard will work its magic charm on the movies and avoid making the whole series look dumb to all non-gamers. Our hobby needs some good rep.

All right, final divergance here: Who wants to guess which race the movie will be about? My personal guess is that it is going to be about Thrall's upbringing. I think that Blizzard is going to use the movie to replace a game that they canceled a while back. I forget what it was called, but it was a sidescroller about Thrall escaping from an internment camp and/or his nasty human master, then going out and finding his heiritage and eventually restarting the Horde. You know, the part of the story mentioned in the Warcraft 3 manual but not the game itself.

Adventures of the Ale

An epic tale unfolds in the secret empire of Pandaria, where Chen Stormstout sets out in a great adventure. What treasures await them? Only time will tell...for a darkness waits, locked behind the vaults and spirits of old...and plots...

 

[KeeperofKeys]

Is that your idea, or is it a confirmed fact?

 

[Freeplay]

Pandaria? where on the map is that?

 

[Zero R.]

Pandaria? where on the map is that?

It's not.

Pandaria is a secret location of the Pandaren, in which nobody knows where. Maybe Blizzard got lazy again, maybe they have a plan... The mind wobbles.

 

[Kenito]

Is that your idea, or is it a confirmed fact?

I came up with it.

Blizzard can be serious, dramatic, and creative when they wish to, and they can be silly and ridiculous when they wish to. Only time will tell.

 

[Duwenbasden]

They'll "Holy Grail" it!

 

[Freeplay]

Sir Lancealot as a blood elf? the mind wonders.

King Arthur as a Night Elf?

Oddly enough, but excalibur would be a cool looking sword. But which race would the Knights who say "Ni" be?

 

[Zero R.]

We are the Undead Draenei Human Knights of Orcishness that say Ni!

The characters gotta look good as well. The reason I didn't like the X-men movies is because they completely butchered the way the characters look. Wolverine looks way to weird, and Magneto is waay to old.

Can't wait to see who they pick for Thrall/Medivh/Jaina.

 

[uberfoop]

hmm...they should do a starcraft movie instead. It would be easier to make uncheesy. w.e

 

[Prometheus]

Looks awesome

I can't wait to see the drenai!

I thought Hugh Jackman did a damn good job of being Wolverine.

I did, however, hate his hair. I mean, really. That was just corny. Who's gonna spend all the time doing that to their hair when they can go out and rip people to shreds?

Mm... Shreds... Yummy!
