Blizzard is the funder, investor, executive producer. You had the gaming developers as supervisors to the film.
Legendary Pictures are the investor and distributors and Production Producers who worked on maintaining production.
I am talking about what's next for Blizzard in Theatrical filmmaking.
Why are you bringing up Warcraft 4 the game? I'm talking about Warcraf the film. You know that film? The one that just came out this summer
Then that guy misunderstood the thread. And with your response like, "He's talking about video games and you're on topic talking about movies...", was misleading as if I should be talking about the game than what my thread was about.
As to that guy's point: They can still focus on a game and feature film. BUT, not TWO feature films.
And why do you think they should not make either. A reasoning would be nice. Those franchises are profitable depending on how smoothly the scriptwriting goes. With the amounts of fallbacks during the production of Warcraft throughout the decade was already a foreshadowing. They can learn from their mistakes on their production of their first feature on a Warcraft Sequel or Diablo Feature.
I doubt this will be their last, and whatever it is, hard to believe it will not be either one of them. Give them another chance.

Most likely, a good film maker would not be hired that would do a good job. Blizzard should stay out of the movie business unless they want to do an animated movie they would sell direct to dvd or Blu-ray.
You would be very surprised at how little work Blizzard has to do on a sequel to 'Warcraft'. Metzen does a script outline (maybe) and that's about it.
Learn how Hollywood works. Once they get a story then Legendary and Duncan do their thing. Blizzard isn't really a movie studio. They've licensed an IP property to one with participation and investment rights.

"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
Never watched Viking but it sounded like.. scandinavian or something so maybe. He cut words off midway and he was the ONLY one doing it too.. his "sister" or adopted-sister I have no idea since Lothar doesn't friggin have a sister in normal lore was half-black and spoke with a brittish accent.. his son spoke differently aswel. It was just so incredibly distracting.
Like; "Deyr strongr, b smahtr"
And Varian doesn't have a sister, too. It seems they have some weird quota of colored characters they had to fulfill.

Warcraft, Starcraft or Overwatch (animated).
I don't think Diablo has as much of an original theme as the other franchises.
A World of Warcraft movie made entirely cinematic intro style, or by using the in game models (similar to in-game cinematics). The Karazhan trailer made me want that latter all the more xD
Sounding Scandinavian, yep, his Vikings accent... Its distracting and annoying. I dont mind the Scandinavian sounding english (in general, and in shows or movies when scandinavian actors do it)... but when Fimmel does it, it sounds so fucking forced it just becomes dumb.
I could keep quoting, but I don't really need to. Agreeing with an Overwatch movie. The long cinematic we first saw was so luring, so full of chance once boosted with the other shorts.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Like others have mentioned I think they could make one hell of an animated film for overwatch. They could easilly use the engine they are already using for that.
Orc Warrior/Undead Priest/Undead Ruuge/???

If they were willing to give it a high enough rating, a Diablo movie could be awesome... but yeah, I'd much rather see an animated feature, for any franchise.
