Warcraft Movie Release - December 18, 2015
It looks like we will see the Warcraft Movie in 2015! For now, only people that were at Comic-Con have seen a tease of what is to come.
If this is going to be live action, I'm almost 99% sure its going to be terrible. Hollywood video game movie adaptations always are, if this is a well made cartoon/CGI movie it could be pretty damn good. Especially if they hire good voice actors. The WoW universe doesn't work live action imo; unless someone like Peter Jackson or Guillermo Del Torro tackles the project I have little faith in the adaptation.
Can't see how they will be able to appeal to everyone with this movie, so it will fail like all other game > movie films.
Think about it more people don't play WoW than do, more people who go to see the movie will have not played WoW or warcraft than have. This means most of the people going to see the movie no nothing of the lore.
It's going to be a movie full of long explanations and no action, or its going to miss lore and focus on action / bodge around lore.
I can't see the movie being a hit at the box office anyway. Sure i will see it and even if everyone who has ever played WoW or warcraft does that would be a disaster for them. They need to appeal to most people not just those who know warcraft.
