Rumour: Johnny Depp to star in new Warcraft movie

[Thimagryn]

Depp steals the show, his presence is overpowered.

[Schaapa]

Hope he has sense enough to turn it down if offered.

Sylvester Stallone as Malfurion Stormrage

Stallone in fantasy, just no. He's also way too old.

Leonardo Decaprio as Anduin

We need a 12 y.o. blond boy for that role. Like the fellow from The Hunger Games.

Also would be great to see Milla Jovovich in another fantasy movie. I know she's getting old, but she's a great actress. See her in Joan of Arc.

Arthas is the only story in the Warcraft universe that would translate well into a movie... Hell its the only good story in WoW.

For the general public its the most available story. I'd make mine crafted after The Frozen Throne. The danger is though to make it too much like other previous fantasy (and sci fi) movies.

Turalyon / Alleria and a main Outland story?

Johnny Depp plays Khadgar and rescues them from the Twisting Nether. Sea turtles, mate.

[Bremmon]

with a 100million dollar budget, they cant afford Johnny Depp.

Many do

Sadly, this is probably the truth. Depp's a great actor and has pulled off a wide range of roles.

I hope they don't use any of that 100 million to hire a "big name" actor that will just distract from the movie itself. Try to get mid tier actors that do a lot of theatre, I'm hoping they get a good tier of british actors similar to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Perhaps younger though.

I'd like to see Patrick Stewart or Leonard nimoy do narration though.

I really like Depp but the problem is that in most of his movies (if not all) the character he act as, are mostly kind of crazy or are quite stupid.

Maybe he could be a Gnome or Troll then?

[Deleted]

given the length of time it takes to produce and release a film (especially a hundred million dollar one) I would assume there won't be any trilogy, and given WoW's age and place in it's product life it seems like a way for Blizzard to artificially extend it. as stated earlier, people relate to humans rather than CGI creatures so it will likely be focusing on the most humanoid races/lore characters. so for these reasons I'm assuming it will cover a major lore event that directly precedes the particular version of Azeroth that new accounts created after seeing the film will zone into upon it's eventual release date.

Varian - Ben Stiller
Bolvar - Owen Wilson
Jaina - Christine Taylor
Thrall - Vince Vaughn
Cairne - Will Ferrell

If Johnny Depp won't do it, but they still need a big star to be a pirate, they can always get Michael Bolton:

Do it like Lord of the rings... 2/3 very known actors and the rest unknowns.

Karl Urban as Variann should be awesome, or even as Arthas xD

link to your REAL source then...

[Deadite]

it would focus on the Alliance and Horde, but mainly from an Alliance perspective.

Yeah this is the problem i think. What half of the fan base are they going to piss off? I ain't watching that shit! They hate the Horde! Crappy Alliance film! or I ain't watching that shit! They hate the Alliance! Crappy Horde film!

I hope when they say they have finished the script they mean the new director just finished reading Rise of the Horde.

[Kraenen]

No thank you.

Depp is great but stop.

he's basically done the same character for the past 20 years...

I feel like Karl Urban would make a good Variann or Arthas.

[Duncanîdaho]

I agree completely. As for Depp, he would make a great Medivh. Depp is great at playing awkward or crazy people who you can't really read or predict. That's Medivh's character in a nutshell, I think it would be perfect. The guys so all over the place and you would need an actor like Depp or someone similar to portray him well.

Also that Varian/Depp pic is great.

[Buxton McGraff]

Johnny Dep as a forsaken.
Mila Kunis as Jaina or Valeera (already rumored)
And I'd like to see Kate Beckinsale as Sylvannas. Her dark side in the underworld movies would be perfect.
