Q u o t e:
It appears that Uwe Boll applied to Blizzard for the role of director in the World of Warcraft movie. Shock horror I hear you all cry, especially when such an astoundingly bad director has these views about making a faithful adaptation:

“You go for it, to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hard core gamers, they live in their own world. And you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it’s impossible. And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don’t pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience.”

In the MTV article, Boll goes on to say that he spoke with Blizzard about helming the WoW movie:

“I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, ‘We will not sell the movie rights, not to you…especially not to you. Because it’s such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.”

Good news all round I say! Here, here, let’s move on to some good potential directors…

I have no idea why blizzard wouldn't make a movie of WoW even just the lore, from the beginning to now, it is very interesting and I have already looked at the youtube videos and stuff, also i have read the archive from borders.

IF Blizzard does decide to make the movie, it really shouldn't be put in Live Action, it needs to be like the trailers that you have given us, like the opening of the wrath of the lich king those graphics are AMAZING!

If you would make a movie like that it would definetely be among the best, or even the best!

Fear me for I shall make all of azeroth fall, HAHA
NOT =P

We are in fact working on a movie with Legendary Pictures, but we don't have any new information to share with everyone just yet. At the 2007 BlizzCon, we even had a special panel with a little bit about the plans for the film. I'm sure you can find video on it or reports on it.

Just as an additional informational bit, it will be Live Action.

Q u o t e:


Will there be any EPIC battle action in the movie?


Or will we be watching the actors stand around, as they queue up to fight 1v1, 2v2, 5v5 in little closed boxes?

Well they'll have to level up first right?

I'm quite sure there will be plenty of action, but there's a story to be told too. I couldn't tell you more though.
