Warcraft Movie at BlizzCon 2007!

August 4th, 2007 Today at BlizzCon 2007 we have heard our first solid and interesting information with regards to the Warcraft, or to some, the World of Warcraft Movie. This movie will be big, huge, EPIC even - in fact, Thomas Tull (producer of 300) stated a budget of over $100m would be committed, with a projected 2009 release date. Legendary Pictures are 100% committed to this project, it shall be a “tent-pole”, something to stand next to and say “we did that!” - whilst remaining true to the game and fan base.
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.

“It’s actually not like the great adventure. It’s not so much a quest movie. It’s more of a war movie. Well, okay, it’s absolutely a war movie. Cultures grinding up to a horrible moment where it just all spills over and gets out of control. Less of an adventure party quest-type situation. More of an armies building to an inevitable conclusion type situation.”
And w.r.t to the Alliance:
“While my heart lies with the Horde and Thrall’s an interesting character, from a movie making standpoint, a blockbuster movie its a little rough to try and tell it from the perspective of this green looking dude.”

No director or cast have yet been assigned to the project and Tull stated that recognizable actors to play main roles was not a necessity:

“We are starting those conversations. We’re going to be looking for someone of Zak Snyder (300) or Chris Nolan (The Dark Knight, Batman Beings) calibre,”

The not so good news - seems they are aiming for PG-13 content which claims to be a compromise. I personally miss the days of old when action heroes swore blindly.

“I can tell you that this is the one thing about running a studio and making these things that’s hard. You want to not compromise and have the right level of intensity. The story and the director’s vision is what’s ultimately going to dictate that. Personally one of my favorite movies of all time is Lord of the Rings, which has a PG-13 rating.”

The film is still in its scripting process, but Tull stated that they are currently working with something that they are very happy with.
And now for the first piece of concept art of the Teldrassil:


Other Q & A info:
Classes will be in the movie, but can’t give details since still in scripting process, not exactly clear and we don’t know yet, but we want many familiar elements in the movie as possible
What races will be represented? Not very easy to answer considering the timeline we’re talking about, so they are not sure about if the Forsaken have yet joined the Horde But not everyone can be in the spotlight in the first movie anyway
Warcraft has a lot of strong characters, would you consider going back to do another movie on Arthas? I would consider that, sure, but we haven’t talked about what other films might deal with. We have to get the first movie right first before you deal with franchises.
This is based on two or three major moments in the games, so it isn’t radically apart from the continuity, so it really holds together. We want it to taste like the World of Warcraft world. but it’s also really fresh. I understand the fear that you don’t want us to screw up the story, but we will be respectful of the continuity but will hold up as a killer 2 hour movie. It is a little modified.
There’s so much in this world to deal with, so you use that as a jumping off point to tell a kick ass story. They want the players to enjoy the movie experience, if they are too much a slave to the story that won’t be the case. They want to respect the world, but to translate it to the screeen and is great on film.

And here is an after-video from IGN:

intinya WC tuh sebenarnya perang antara human sama orc, tapi merembet kemana2, jadilah perang antar faksi, crita aslinya/sejarahnya kan bisa diliat dari game World of Warcraft, dari quest2 sampe daerah2 yang kita jalanin di WoW kan bisa diliat jelas tuh critanya warcraft tuh kek gimana

[phonoscope]

emang ada ya sejarah warcraft di wow??

dari jamannya uther masih ganteng trus jadi paladin yang naek kuda [cavalry paladin] ampe jadi paladin jalan kaki versi war3...

trus gromm hellscream yang keren juga ada ya pasti [harapan gw minimal ada gromm nya] dan paling yang lebih luas cerita nya ada di warcraft 3 sama WoW [tapi semua cerita di WoW itu berasal dari war3 semua lho... << pengembangannya war3]

[krusszz]

iya donk ah

tp klo mengharapkan kehadiran grom hellscream kynya ga mungkin deh...kan dia udah mati

klo mo baca cerita asli warcraft dimulai dari sebelum warcraft 1 sampe warcraft 3, coba aja ke bagian dota....ada koq yg udah ngepost

[BloodyElf]

klo illidan, arthas, furion, trus kael dll...

kemungkinan keluar nga.....
sapa tau nanti ada duelnya Illidan vs Arthas.... seruuuu.....


trus nanti ada Lich King, sylvanas.. Wooww.... anubarak pastinya
padahal uda lama tuh yg di rencanain...

ternyata emang berat bikin nih game ke film... storynya harus di pikir masak"
