 My personal feeling is that this particular IP could be great in CGI.  I loved how square did Advent Children.  CGI would also allow them to keep their crappy cartooney graphix.  Lord of the Rings pulled it off mainly due to everything had to be imagined by the words painted by Tolkien while Warcraft already has an established look that everyone knows.

I think they should do this in CGI, because the crappy cartoony graphics are part of WoW's appeal.  Live action does not suit this property at all, as much as the look of the Forsaken seems to have been ripped straight from in front of Bruce Campbell off the set of one of the Evil Dead movies.

I was thinking something along the same lines, "Forget the fraekin' movie, put that money into a graphics upgrade!" *shakes uncontrollably*.  Hey, is it Alterac Valley double honor this weekend?

A Warcraft movie done with 300 style special effects = An endless time vortex of awesome

If they don't pick a lame part of the lore to do.

I think they should do it in CGI...  cuz their opening movies always looked hot. 

The Warcraft story can only be told thru a game not a movie.  no doubt it will be a hit in South Korea and maybe China (Blizzard's advertising is huge there).  300 was an ok Movie and i think the studio that made it would do well to make any big 3d movie projects,

if there was a WoW movie i would see it when its out on DVD at the local store or wait a little longer and sift thru the $5 bin for it

Fantasy movies never really hit the big time until The Lord of the Rings came out. Nothing has ever come close to that 7 years later either.

All it takes is a genuine interest in the movie, and the money to back it, then we will have a movie comparable to the legendary Lord of the Rings. After all of the crap fantasy movies trying to prey on Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, I think people are ready and waiting for an epic fantasy movie that doesn't suck.

Question is, will the director be a real fan of Warcraft like Peter Jackson was for Lord of the Rings? So much depends on that, more than anything else because I doubt cash is an issue.

As far as games turning into movies, I actually really liked Silent Hill, they seemed to have done a good job with it. They are making a sequel for it too.

I don't know any game that was translated to the white screen in any good way.Same goes the other way around.

Movies don't have to be epic to be fun. Unless, of course, you're an elitist.

Not sure if any one said this but is it going to be real ppl, is it like the games graphics like what south park did, or even like the cinematics? 

oh god, if they make a wow movie i will like...kill myself :P the game is good but i would never make a game into a motion picture, expecially not an mmo scince storyline isnt an extremely prevelant part of a mmo since the world is changing all the time.

To be honest i don't think it will be to bad, personally i think they should make it CGI and not actual actors.

The only Game - Film movie which was any good was the Tomb Raiders, FF Advent Children and maybe the 1st Resi Evil

Uh didnt you read? Movie is Based on WARCRAFT 3 not world of warcraft =) it has NOTHING with wow todo go at IMDB and search warcraft =) I think this could be something;)

''The plot for the film will take place approximately a year before the start of World of Warcraft, including races you have played and lands you have wandered in, where lots of plot arcs are melded into a two and a half hour story. The film itself will revolve around a ‘badass’ new hero, with a theme towards conflict and culture - being a War Movie rather than a quest movie, from an Alliance’s perspective.''

WoW in my ass

It's not a WoW movie its a Warcraft movie its old news and its going to be live action, and it will follow like the first reply said 1-3.

If blizzard was smart they would do a CGI movie not a live action one.

It sounds like it might fail but i guess we will see.
