I was bored from reading so many forum threads, then I cam across the thread titled "WoW movie" where they poll if you would like to see a WoW movie. Me? Meh, I'm on the fence personally, I'm VERY picky about which movies to see and what I consider a good movie (comes with the territory of being a film student/independent film maker) but in any case, I digress.

Whether I want to see it or not, I just wanted to make a quick post and ask who/what actors you'd like to see portray which characters in WoW or races. If you can post pics/photoshops to help facilitate that'd be nice.

P.S. this is just a thread for fun so don't try and take this thread TOO seriously ok? ok then, go at it.

I'd like to see a CG World of Warcraft movie. Blizzard makes very good CG sequences, so something similar to their CG in-game, except extended over a whole movie would be great. Or barring that, I'd like to see Vin Diesel as Thrall, lol.

A WOW movie should have William Shatner, Robin Williams, and Paris Hilton; they're about as serious a cast as WOW is a game.

Oh, and it'd be a Comedy... of Errors.

I'm not a total master on this but they should stay the hell away from it..

Look at the Final Fantasy movie, it was no more then mediocre and a lot of people were let down and so on and so on..

Advent Children was cool tho imo, but more the Extra feature disc then the movie ;) hehe but for non-FF gamers I dont think its any good at all.. Me and a couple of friends watched not long ago, and they didnt really liked it.

Even Max payne is supposed to be quite the bugger from what I heard..

Tomg Raider is the only movie of a game, that actually had quite some succes, as I can remember just off the top of my head..

Bloom!!!! (as an Belf hahahaha)

Oh come on.  Don't you remember the Super Mario bros movie?  That was amazing (insert sarcasm).

I think a WoW movie would have to be a bit of a detatchment from the game itself to be any success.  I don't know if people outside the WoW community would take the cartoony aspect very seriously if it modeled it exactly.

The guy who played the lead role in 300 and Mr. T as a night elf mohawk.

This is great... I even had to tell the wife

I think if a wow movie was ever made it would have to take place in the lore thats not present in the game. Like the orcs struggle in the outlands which is suppose to have taken place before game release. I think it would be a very hard movie to make. Especially when trying to incorporate all the races and classes, it would be a nightmare to produce. Imo

'tis sounds like, no-one is aware of the Warcraft -movie they're producing..

You guys have become mindless zombies of the world (WoW). There will never be a (WoW) movie... But they are making a (Warcraft movie).

John Travolta should play every character. Nuff said.

Alas, movies based on games have a strong tendency to seriously blow.

I think they'd be best to fill the major speaking parts with unknowns, and not have it as a vehicle for established stars.

Of course, I would not object to some cameos by say Mr. T and William Shatner.

I disagree.  Chuck Norris would be the perfect female night elf.  He's certainly burly enough.

Maybe they should use the director, writer, cast, and crew of the "Dungeons and Dragons" movie that came out a few years ago.  At least those folks have got to be veterans by now when it comes to making a fantasy movie.

yea thay are doing a warcraft movie. There is only one image. that can be found here: http://host.trivialbeing.org/up/WarCraftArtBig.jpg

As long as Samuel L. Jackson is in it, it will be great.

Good luck with that lol... At a minimum you know he'll have a cameo. That guy is in everything!

The WoW movie has been in the works for some time now. Last I heard they're having a hard time with getting the right studio, among other things. But they have said it's going to be a new story, seprit from the games or book, but still takes place completely in the world of Warcraft. They were saying it's going to be completely done in CGI, but I'm not sure if thats still the case, I can only hope it is though. Doing the Warcraft movie as live action and Blizz sitting there with all the CGI talent behind them would just be stupid. Even if it wont be the actually Blizz team doing the animation, still a totally horrable idea.

On a side note, to all the posts about Samuel L. Jackson, he just signed on to star in 9, yes count them a wopping 9! Marvel films as Nick Fury, woot! >_<

 I want JJ Abrams or Cristopher Nolan directing and alot of unknown actors, like they did with the Star Trek reboot. Except Thrall, I want Ron Perlman as Thrall, come to think of it, he allready looks like Thrall, just paint his face green.

I got the DVD along with warcraft 3 that had all of the CGI sequences and ever since then i always wanted blizzard to make a full lenght CGI Warcraft movie. I dont want a WoW movie but a Warcraft movie following all of the lore and stories from warcraft 1, 2 and 3. Now those were real games and took skill online.....

Why is the thread intended to be funny?

The film is going to happen, and at blizzcon they said they are working with Legendary Films to create the movie.

Let's just pray the movie is atleast PG-13, and not some dumbed down version of an epic story line.  Because the game looks like an over-detailed cartoon people forget it's called world of WARCRAFT.

larry the cable guy should be a tauren or an orc because they are fat and stupid.  they need a russian to play draenei...one with a huge body and little legs... borat should play a human...just because it would be hilarious to see... night elf should be a stipper named candy with a tail pinned to her rear. could pick up any random jamaican and put them in a troll suit... jack black should play whatever larry the cable guy didnt cuz he is fat and stupid. hmm, undead... how about a person goes to wal mart and buys a skeleton suit and wears that for the movie... wee man for gnome, dwarf should just be a slightly taller midget who likes to get drunk on set...and some random blonde bimbo should be a belf...

i would like to see a warcraft movie.  especially if borat was in it

Morgan Freeman, he's in everything.
