Moon was incredible, Source Code not so much but very good director in the end so good choice!

Originally posted by ShakyMo Also, Blade Runner - one of the best adventure games ever, in my opinion. But yeah, I can't remember a good game-to-movie adaptation. On the other hand... Hey, there's a first for everything! After all, statistics are just results, not causes. :) |

They're still determined to make that thing after all this time?

The concept has promise. I will reserve my judgement for when a trailer is released or the basis of the story is revealed. Pretending like I know anything about it would only make me look like a moron...but the rest of you carry on! If they where to make a trilogy...I would use the original orc invasion of azeroth as a jumping off point..that will explain the conflice of horde vs alliance...then perhaps bring burning legion into the mix for movie 2 and lich king and friends for movie 3...I would also accept a film adaptation of dragon soul or well of eternity..sadly doubt it will be this interesting...we will see though! |

I think the film will be subject to lots of ch-ch-changes, by the time it comes out it won't be very Fashion-able and nobody involved will come out of it looking like Heroes. Be interesting to see if one of the characters is a laughing gnome though.

I think it is several years too late to be making a WoW movie. It should have been made during the game's peak.

Wow could peak again , its not former players they target. I have played video games for years and before 2008 espn world of warcraft commercials I had never heard of it. I simply was not looking for it or anything like it, they went to espn broadcast to a new demographic and now here I am today on an mmorpg website. I still think there are untapped markets wow could grab and revive the player base. Probably won't be the mmo vets cup of tea but it will be someone's , they just need to go get them like they did me back in 2008.

Originally posted by Vesavius Blood Diamond was amazing and Tales of the Past 3 was all gameplay footage and was a great WoW movie to me. So I can't wait to see what they have in store. I have been talking about a WoW movie since my vanilla days. |

Originally posted by Aeonblades A movie was talked about in the shadows for about 5 years but never came to light. Now that they are finally in motion for one i can't see why it would be too late to make a movie based on the best mmorpg of all time. |

Originally posted by Shrilly I don't even know what to say to this. The idea of a warcraft movie has been around since before WoW even released, I just can't believe they waited this long and are now trying to do it. By the way most popular =/= best, just for future reference, played WoW for 4 years myself, but let's be honest here, it's not the best MMO I have played haha :D Currently Playing: Path of Exile, Everquest |

Originally posted by Aeonblades I would disaggree. When i first saw WoW I was very happy to get it when I got it I was blown away the game was great up until cata to me thats when i stopped. GW2 failed to that end for me I didn't even reach a expansion and i don't play WoW anymore either. A poster on another forum says it best
No, not really. Not when your IP had peaked at 13 million active players with a subscription, in a fringe genre. Couldn't imagine a hollywood movie coming out based on any other MMO IP, other than star wars, lotro, and TES. < 2 of those came from movies/books before games, and Warcraft has managed to absolutely smash their face into the ground in the MMO market. WoW animosity in the MMO community is pathetic. |

Originally posted by Shrilly You didn't read my post clearly, I said I enjoyed WoW. It's not worth the post if you aren't even going to read it. In fact I'll just let this thread slide, I should of known rabid fanboyism would be inbound. Good luck to Blizzard, but I feel like they missed the boat on a good movie by a few years. Only time shall tell :D Currently Playing: Path of Exile, Everquest |

You can bet the farm, it will not have one characater from warcraft lore and will be like that movie dungeons and dragons with jeremy irons which you can see on this sites front page with MMOFTW video. So many great lore characters to base the movie on and arthas story being most deep and lore rich, won't be in the film. maybe it mirrors darth vaders story to much. still more great lore they could use I get the sinking feeling it's going be something that not even in the lore and is very loosly based on some unknown characters adventures blah blah blah.

Imagine if they started from vanilla, they could easily make a movie every year for 5 years, just telling the lore of the game. Hopefully they make it as fun to watch as LOTR.

Doubt it lotro movies are 2nd hard based directly on the books
Wow movie would be 4th hand, based on wow lore, which is watered down warhammer lore which is watered down elric / corum. |
