    Warcraft movie story line revealed?

    Now i'm not sure if this is legit or i'm just misinterpreting it, but i found a casting website for Warcraft that lists some of the story. This is not the same as what we heard at Blizzcon (Durotan/Lothar) so that is why i'm skeptical. Either way, either of these stories is good, here's the link: http://www.acting-auditions.org/2013...e-film_29.html (scroll to the bottom of the page where it reads "story:"

    Basically it's suggesting a movie about the Lich King and Arthas's story
    "Far left is communism, far right is Anarchy, be aware that you do not stray to far either way”
    "If we are confronted with differences in opinion, the chemicals that are released in the brain are the same ones that try to ensure our survival in dangerous situations."

    Considering that completely contradicts what was stated at Blizzcon, I'm going to go ahead and assume bullshit.

    I think that is superseded by Blizzcon info, since that went out a long time before the con.

    I'd love a film about the Lich King, Arthas and the Scourge so much more. Tho I think the current plot they are developing will be great aswell. Maybe they are gonna save Arthas for later Warcraft movies if the first one does well
    My dad once told me that aslong as religion existed, even I could make my own fantasy buddys

    Random website, which haven't listed ANY of the confirmed actors vs info given directly from Blizzard..

    Tough choise, who to trust..
    Fact (because I say so): TBC > Cata > Legion > ShaLa > MoP > DF > BfA > WoD = WotLK

    Thats the description of the Arthas Book from the back cover, I reckon they have just put that up there to give an idea about the background of the franchise rather than it being anything telling about a plot or story. There was a thread about it a while ago.

    Guys, just cross out Arthas or anything from WC3 and beyond.

    1. Both Lothar and Durotan are dead at that time for several years. The fact that they're here, means that it'll be related to 1st contact war (which Duncan Jones even confirmed it to be).
    2. You can't start a (possible) trilogy somewhere in the middle, without leaving plotholes, which would happen if it doesn't starts at WC1.
    3. The story will be set from both alliance and horde point of view, to ensure it won't be LOTR clone.

    That being said, the story will likely be a mixture of books Rise of the Horde and Last Guardian.

    You can't make a LOTR clone out of something like Warcraft. The lore would have to be on par first :P And yes, everything suggests the main storyline will go on the lines of The Last Guardian.

    By LOTR clone I mean evil orcs, good humans, which technically, before expanded universe, that's what Warcraft was, Orcs and Humans (so I also don't think there'll be any elves and dwarves, even if one of the cast members is playing a dwarf in another movie XD).

    Warcraft: Orcs and Humans was too much like LOTR so they instead went with the Arthas storyline?
    The Lich King looks almost exactly like Sauron and instead of a cursed ring he wields a cursed sword? Yeah, who was the smart guy who decided this?

    Orcs vs Humans is much further from LOTR than the Lich King story imo.

    Erm. Orcs vs Humans was just a classic Lotr ripoff to the max with evil orcs doing nasty things. LK looks like Sauron (which can be changed for the movie), but that's where the similarities end. The character is nothing like Sauron.

    And before people start making comparisons between Arthas and Anakin, the Star wars story was stolen from samurai movies anyway.

    They totally ripped off the Arthas's book back cover and pasted it there.

    Ever think that was the story for the role they were taking auditions for? Just because an audition has an excerpt from the vast lore of Warcraft doesn't mean that is what the movie is about. Perhaps they are trying for that time period, or someone from that time period (in warcraft)?

    Most of that info seems like old news to me.

    You could alteast do some research yourself before posting. Did you bother to see the Warcraft movie presentation at Blizzcon or no? Its the First War. Arthas wasnt even mentioned, so I have no idea what you're talking about, aswell as the OP.
