I think this movie will be awesome! i know people not knowing anything about shit will think this is a LOTR rip, but us true fans know better! As for not making the movie follow the exact game stroyline , its better for the companies to make it like they are in the game universe!
i mean seriously you go out and find some Fan site and read there fiction and you see the potential this has since its in the universe and not following one of the games it has more room for developement and rich culture and story. and its NEW! not something 6 million of us have seen before! as for Blizzard having most of the say on this id have to disagree. i think their creative department and Chris Metzen should be important but so should Legendary studios, creators of Superman returns and Batman: Begins!so dont nay say any of the effort or talent and hard work that will go into this movie!
as for a chance to screw it up? comeon! this is BLIZZARD!
On their first try into the MMO market they totally thrashed the competition and created a game with probably the highest amount of customers on the market todate! SO for my final words of which theres only 4 I say “MORE POWER TO THEM!”

First of all i think that this movie is a great idea and would just love to be sitting in the theater seats someday to watch a movie like “Bambi 2000″ and see the preview to the game that made up a large part of my life have its title pop up in front of me with the loud drums of the WC 2 theme song rumbling the building.

i love the lord of the rings. LOVE them. And i have many times thought about how it might affect the WarCraft movie. i say go ahead and just do it. if done well it will make its money and attract its crowds. Evryone will go see it. face it. people go see anything in the theaters that #1- get printed in the paper. #2- have big battle shots. #3- have a well known star in it.
as for the movie sucking like all the other lame, cheezy, pointless game movies, (hence, Final Fantasy), I have come to trust Blizzard to make good descions. they will know who to give the movie rights to and under what conditions. so i say go for it! make this movie rock the earth long and hard! open the portal and let the orcs in! and make sure to have Hugh Jackman play a leading role!

i agree that not keeping the storie is a bad more than good idea heck they could make 3 movie from W3 alone, i love the storie, and they could even continue with the orc campaign (which was really fun to play!)

Freakin awsome. I’ve been waiting for this for years. Blizzard said them selves they’d love to make a Warcraft movie after all the fun they had making the CGI for WC3. I wonder if it’ll be live action or CGI. Either way I don’t think it’s a LOTR rip off.

Ya it has some of the same races as LOTR and it’s a midevil fantasy, but it’s really alot diffrent other then that. The story telling and non Tolken races are pretty original. The world it’s self is just amazing and well worth telling about on the big screen. Also WC is all about war and racial conflict on a massive scale. LOTR was all about ending a great war to bring back peace across the land.

Yes Warcraft is based on Tolken’s work, but so is pretty much all other american and european fantasy stories. As long as it’s done right and not cheaply made, the WC movie will stand out enuff as it’s own thing. Just like the WC RTS game stands out from the LOTR RTS game.

“Most video game movies fail because they try to somewhat stick to a story that was never written or intended for the big screen.”

I’m confused. There is a video game movie out there that actually follows the video game script? I actually thought that all the movies were failing because they tried to write their own plot. Cough, Resident Evil, cough…

Hey there Fredo,

No, I don’t think it goes against that at all. I still have all the same reservations. What I DID say in the post was that the one advantage this seems to have is that the producers are committed to a totally original story as opposed to some crap attemtp to stick to a stroy that was never created to be on the big screen in the first place.

I sortta said the same thing for SPy Hunter if you look up my previous post on that too.

Still… the high potential for “suckage” still exists. We’ll see what happens.

John, doesn’t this go against your “video game movies blow goats” mantra? Or maybe, like us Halo nerds, your excitement clouds your judgement.

when news comes out for a movie like this, attached to the press release crap should be names, home addresses, phone numbers, etc. of the people who think this is a good idea.
