Warcraft Movie In The Works? 122
The New York Times is reporting that World of Warcraft maker Blizzard plans to make a big-screen adaptation of its very popular gameworld. From the article: "Many details of the film deal remained unsettled or undisclosed on Monday, including the choice of director, cast, the planned release date and the exact budget (rarely a firm number in the movie business anyway). But Blizzard and Legendary appeared united in wanting the project to be a major departure from Hollywood's undistinguished record in turning games into films. 'We try to make big, epic, immersive games at Blizzard, and we have a track record of making some of the best games in the world,'" Paul Sams, Blizzard's chief operating officer, said in an interview. 'Similarly, our goal is to make one of the best films in the world. With Legendary, they have a creative and management team that is so attuned with us it was like we were separated at birth. We want to make a movie that will not only appeal to our existing fans, but will also bring in people that have never heard of Warcraft before.'"

The animation is fantastic - far above what I thought modern PCs were capable of producing

Then when you get into the theatre just as the action hots up random people are ejected forcefully and then forced to stand back in line outside.
Of course they want it to be big, they always do. Its not like it will be the first movie to hit the spot.
They are standing on the shoulders of such greats as Street Fighter, Tomb Raider, Pokemon and Doom..
