BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT- PRESS RELEASE
So, that could be interesting. I'm not sure what I make of there being a WOW movie to be honest.
Anyone got any thoughts?
I wonder who they could cast to be in the movie?

Oh good gawd no! Sam Raimi shouldn't be wasting his talent on that. I'm surprised Pixar didn't pick up the deal to be honest.
Ignore me I'm just a bit of a WoW hater.

That's been on the books since early '06. Its one of those "will they, wont they" kinda affairs.
To be honest though, I personally have no problems with it.... so long as Raimi does it "Army Of Darkness" style WoW has plenty of humour in it, hopefully that'll make it to the big screen.
If they turn it into a gore-fest it'll suck big time.
I'll stay hopefull

I've just found out from my mates on Failbook that Uwe Boll was originally planned to direct this. Now that really would've been an epic fail! Narrow escape there!

A movie based on a video game? How could it possibly fail?! It won't be easy to live up to this epic piece of cinematography though.
Raimi did do a pretty great job with Spiderman; not my favourite character, but bloody entertaining movies those.

As a former player of wow and as someone who will be restarting there subscription to wow again soon, i think this whole movie idea is a bad one.

Not all game-to-movie films are that bad. Doom was alright, and the Resident Evils aren't too bad either. Though why Bob Hoskins agreed to do Mario is forever beyond me!
I've played WoW a little and it wasn't too bad, I thought. But I expect much of the film's in-jokes will go way over my head (just like most in-game chat!). I just hope they make the movie interesting enough for non-gamer to enjoy too, that way I might get something out of it!

Well they do have hump-loads of back history and lore... though I suspect very little of that will make it into the film.
REALLY hope its CGI too, not bloomin' "live action" - could you imagine it? it'd be like Cosplay hell...
I mean, their animation department is more than capable...

WoW has plenty of humour in it, hopefully that'll make it to the big screen.
