May 9, 200619 yr Apparently Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.
May 9, 200619 yr Calling it as a "World of Warcraft Movie" is just silly. Really. It's just a movie based on Warcraft setting. How can a movie be made based on a MMO?

May 9, 200619 yr unless it's affiliated with Chris Metzen... it's gonna flop. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
May 9, 200619 yr I doubt it. As long as a decent quality is kept there should be enough bnet kiddies to keep a movie like this afloat. It better be funny, I don't think I could stomach a po-faced warcraft film full of teen dramas. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
May 9, 200619 yr Maybe it's a film about the people playing the MMO ... OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
May 9, 200619 yr Been waiting for Blizzard to make a movie in the Warcraft universe. Trying to tie it into the WoW MMORPG is retarded though, as if the setting wasn't already established. It better have Thrall or it will suck. Edited May 9, 200619 yr by StillLife
May 9, 200619 yr What are the new races? IIRC, the Horde gets Blood Elves, what does the Alliance get?
May 9, 200619 yr What are the new races? IIRC, the Horde gets Blood Elves, what does the Alliance get? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Eredar, the demon-race of which Archimonde was a member.
May 9, 200619 yr Prepare for liberal plaigarising of Warhammer and Earthdawn on the silver screen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
May 9, 200619 yr What are the new races? IIRC, the Horde gets Blood Elves, what does the Alliance get? Eredar, the demon-race of which Archimonde was a member. Cool, thanks for the link. Any info out there on racial traits for them?

However, in the image, under the screen, you can see the Sierra logo. Sierra and Blizzard are both owned by Vivendi, which lends credence to this being the new Alliance race. It also fulfillls the "WTF?" component that Metzen mentioned.

They sure are tight-lipped with this expansion, isnt it due out some time this year? I also find it a little odd that a demonic race would be in the Alliance camp. Oh well, guess Ill have to wait and see.
May 9, 200619 yr Never been impressed by Blizzard's games and I will not be impressed by any movie based on them.
May 9, 200619 yr Never been impressed by Blizzard's games and I will not be impressed by any movie based on them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> from: http://www.lib.umich.edu/spec-coll/faulkne.../hollywood.html "Faulkner spent long months and long years in Hollywood, making himself use his time and talent on work he believed was beneath him just so he could pay his bills. Usually the writing was what he considered "hack work." But in early 1943, film director Howard Hawks asked him for help in preparing a script for Hemingway's novel, To Have and Have Not. Hawks said that when Hemingway had refused his offer to work for him in Hollywood, he said "I'll take your worst book and make a movie out of it, and you'll make money on it." The novel Hawks selected was To Have and Have Not. Hemingway sold him the screen rights and Hawks went to work, using Warner Brothers for financing and facilities. "The first screenplay was written by veteran scriptwriter Jules Furthman whose credits included "Treasure Island" and "Mutiny on the Bounty." It was a 151-page screenplay that Warner Brothers was "urged" not to film because it featured smuggling and insurrection that reflected badly on Cuba and the Batista regime. Cuba and the U.S. were allies in the war effort and the U.S. was unwilling to do anything to endanger that relationship. Thus, Faulkner had a full shooting script from which to work, but which required an entire reshaping. "Faulkner suggested changing the location to Martinique and developing a political interest that would be the conflict between the Free French and the Vichy government. He also created the character "Slim," based on two separate women in the previous screenplay. Scholar Bruce F. Kawin says that Faulkner was little motivated to change Hemingway's material simply because it was Hemingway. He was more interested in the political aspects of the script, his anti-Vichy sentiments, and the characterization of the Resistance fighters, particularly the women. "When the film was released it was quite a success, becoming one of the thirty top-grossing pictures of 1944." film is different than novels or short stories or games. is not unusual for crap source material to make for good movie... and how many times has we seen great source material end in crap. HA! Good Fun! "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v. California, 274 U.S. 357 (1927) "Im indifferent to almost any murder as long as it doesn't affect me or mine."--Gfted1 (September 30, 2019)

May 9, 200619 yr A very eloquent post, Grommie but I will make a counter argument. Super mario Brothers: The Movie. Dungeons and Dragons: The Movie. There has yet been a game to movie conversion that has been of what I consider good. The best of the bunch has been Resident Evils and they are of only decent quality and not good.

May 9, 200619 yr Never been impressed by Blizzard's games and I will not be impressed by any movie based on them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> LOL A Diablo movie would be good, but game to movies usually suck. The only one I liked was Mortal Kombat. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
May 9, 200619 yr Mortal Combat was terrible. Not as terribvle as its sequel and Street Fighter, but it was still terrible.
May 9, 200619 yr Its soundtrack was a major bonus to me. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
