More Warcraft Movie Details Unleashed

WorldofWar.net has discovered that Legendary Pictures (and Blizzard Entertainment) has made a few new changes to the Warcraft movie details, and have thus affected the information found on IMDB. The website said that the IMDB's "Warcraft" entry now lists four film sub-entries based on the term including the infamous South Park episode (Make Love, Not Warcraft) and three other non-Blizzard films.

"When a plague of undeath threatened all that he loved, Arthas was driven to pursue an ill-fated quest for a runeblade powerful enough to save his homeland," reads part of the book's description. "Yet the object of his search would exact a heavy price from its new master, beginning a horrifying descent into damnation. Arthas's path would lead him through the arctic northern wastes toward the Frozen Throne, where he would face, at long last, the darkest of destinies."

Based on the book, the storyline could produce a hot and tasty movie if the screenwriter doesn't go all George Lucas and turn this Anakin-like anti-hero into a ball of whiny boredom. Then again, based on comments made at BlizzCon 2007, the movie won't be anything like Lord of the Rings.

"Thrall will be in the movie," reads the report from the convention. "It will be told primarily from the Alliance point of view. The time of the movie is set about 1 year before World of Warcraft begins. The film is mainly about cultures in conflict. It won't be an adventure movie like LoTR, more of a war film."

    I'd prefder to explore the Warcraft lore by gaming. It's too expanse for a single movie. Though they kinda started fucking with Warcraft lore starting at the first expansion...

    Though a Starcraft movie, that I'd watch.

    The only people interested in seeing it are too obsessed playing to go to the theater.

    Both star craft and Warcraft were inspired by literary works which in turn are now being inspired by the game. The problem here is IP will dilute the storytelling ability.
