When discussing the movie, Metzen says that they are still meeting with director Sam Raimi about putting ideas together on “what kind of story we want to tell, what do we want people to feel, what is the best way to look at this big franchise.” It seems like a lot of thought process is going into the WoW movie, but yet nothing has yet be decided upon. Metzen talks about the conflict of how to go about making the movie remain true to the games but that the core experience would still remain on the game side. By saying “Oh, I get it that matches my expectations when I played”, Metzen wants fans to gain a certain feel from the movie through camera angles and other aspects that remind them of actually playing the game. The movie is still far from production and hopefully once the Hollywood side of production gets going the movie will become a real reality and that it won’t just become a big hyped up blockbuster failure.
The film was originally set in the era of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. This was scrapped, however, as there were notions that it would be too similar to Lord of the Rings and that Warcraft had reached its current level of popularity through its MMORPG, rather than the previous RTS games.[1]
As such, the movie is set one year before World of Warcraft and will primarily told from the Alliance's point of view, though Metzen says his heart lies with the Horde. Characters such as Cairne Bloodhoof, Thrall, Sylvanas Windrunner, and Bolvar Fordragon are likely to make appearances. Arthas is unlikely to appear.[1] At BlizzCon 2007, Chris Metzen said that the main character is set to be a new hero described as a "kick-ass Human" and an "Anti-Thrall".[2][3] This new character in the movie is not same one as in the comic (now known to be Varian Wrynn).[4]
Metzen also stated clearly that lore would be bent for the sake of the film, Varian Wrynn might have a twin.[3]
Interestingly enough, the film is described as the "first film", raising obvious possibilities as to future installments.[3]
Concept art of Teldrassil was released in relation to the film, hinting that at least some of the film takes place there, and perhaps by extension, in Darnassus.
Anyway...movie is postponed to 2013, but who knows, it can be 2020 if you ask me.
THIS IS GONNA BE A DISASTER! :cry: :sad: :havesex:
edit: Howtfuk can they "talk" for 3 years?
