    Warcraft film update (Very minor)

    Found on comingsoon.net;

    "Warcraft was teased, albeit briefly, with a simple title treatment. To be directed by Duncan Jones (Moon), the film is based on the game series. Tull said they are taking their time with this one and placing a "very high bar" on it, "because, frankly, video game movies have not fared very well." They want a great script and are taking the property very seriously. Expect more updates over the next few months."

    In before "It's going to be bad"

    I believe they are taking it seriously. People think if it's quiet it's not happening.

    Legendary is a great studio also. Good Choice.

    I can see them taking a long time with this to get it right, Blizzard would not allow any company to sully the WoW franchise with a bad movie, but I can wait ^^

    It will end well. We have nothing to go on. You can't judge without any footage or information. I mean, I could understand if we saw something but we haven't.

    Going on past movies based off video games and most did not end well imo.

    Low expectations. I guess I'm giving them the opportunity to surprise me.
    If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.

    I think so too. Their movies always look very slick.

    The funny part is, video game writing as improved dramatically over the last few years. Lots of those games / adaptation didn't have much of a premise to begin with... and some were given to Uwe Boll.

    What they should... is hire Josh Weadon.

    I think Joss Whedon is booked up for the next few years.

    My expectations are low but i'm hoping for the best - I'm glad they're taking their time with planning it out however.

    Without Uwe Boll's guiding hand this film is dead before it starts.

    A part of me would love to see Uwe Bolls version.. just for comedy value. I know he expressed an interest years ago.

    Aside from the Lich King storyline, which still had its cheesy moments, I have yet to see story in-game that would grip my attention.

    Add the fact that this project is blockbustery and the kind of blockbustery writers that attracts...and this seems doomed.

    Surprise me. Go on. Make a compelling movie. But I'm not seeing it until the reviews are dripping with positives.

    I kind of want this movie to fail, if its successful it will just spark a new wave of video game movies that will suck.

    It needs to fail before it even gets off the ground, for the sake of both industries.

    Video games need to be left alone to be grow as their own unique artform and filmmakers need to get off their asses and come up with original concepts for films instead of 'adapting' (read: ruining) other mediums or grave robbing old films.
