Warcraft-licensed movie starts filming in 2014!

Recommended Posts

Late in January of this year, Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) was announced as director of the long-in-development film based on Blizzards game world seen in titles like World of Warcraft. Unsurprisingly, news on further developments has been slow in coming as Jones and the films producers craft a plan for the film. At the time Jones was announced, a late 2013 shoot was theorized, with hopes for a 2015 release.

 

That 2015 release may still be in the cards, but today producer Charles Roven told us that Warcraft is currently planned to shoot in early 2014. First quarter 2014 were going to shoot that movie, Roven told Germain while discussing Legendarys plans. Were moving forward; obviously Legendary is making that film and Im having a great time with Duncan.

 

Were still in the dark with respect to knowing how Jones will bring the environment of the Warcraft series to the big screen, and if the early 2014 schedule holds it will likely be Comic Con, at the earliest, before we get any real idea of the teams plan.

If Duncan Jones makes this one even halfway as great as the Moon movie, I'll be as happy as I can get! ^_^

Unlike superman - I hope this is CGI-laden-goodness!

I'd probably watch it maybe. My interest in Warcraft kinda disappeared into a black hole after Warcraft III... Ahh...

Meh, not interested. -_-

 

Warcraft is almost compared to the Lord of the Rings series that most viewers recognize. I always assumed Warcraft is a spin-off to Lord of the Rings, although both stories and some of the looks are different.

I see very few similarities between Warcraft and Lord of the Rings, except they are both settled in a fantasy universe. I'd say Warcraft might have taken inspiration in LotR, but it is definitely not a spin-off.

 

I'm looking forward to see if this will be the first great 'video game movie'. Then again, about 9 out of 10 movies are scrapped, so there's reason to not get your hopes up.

Practically ALL fantasy is based off LoTR, so that's a useless argument.

I really hate that too. All of my fantasy games are based on good old fashioned mythology, just as the drug snorting ancients envisioned it.

WarCraft for me is some kind of soap opera. Some characters dies, but in the end they show up like nothing happened to them - just like Muradin Bronzebeard, who died in WarCraft III: Rein of Chaos and been ressurected in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King. Of course there are more examples, but nowadays i don't care about this universe at all.

Traymen, there's a rule when it comes to Warcraft lore.

 

It's "IGNORE ALL OF WORLD OF WARCRAFT". They keep making up bull to fill their MMORPG.
