WoW is already the highest grossing game in recent history, with just about every warcraft game making game of the year and making countless millions, so it only makes perfect sense to expand the market to the big screen since there would obviously be a large audience for it. Smart move, Blizz...now lets see how you run with it.

A real warcraft 3 movie would be sweet ass, this ill have to see.
Well its absolutely true that blizzard only cares about money but if they make a movie ILL WATCH IT NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES I guess it would be really cool and interesting and every1 knows that blizzard games are the best
Blizzard doesnt have very many games to its name, but its already rich enough to rival Nintendo and Sony. ANOTHER thing...Many video game movies are being made, and should be out in either a few months, or a year. Surely uve heard of DOOM, the movie, well Halo the movie and Metroid the movies comin out, so either they want a game they made their fortune off of hit the big screens, or they want to increase awareness of their existence, i already said that they dont have very many games to their name, and most of their games r for the PC, so some ppl might not even know their existence. Trailers and commercials for the movie might make people want to get the game to see what it is like, and to get a taste for it, and the people who already play warcraft will swarm the theaters to see their favorite CPU game on the big screen. Im not sure if anyone noticed, but blizzard created an unnoticable global shockwave in a game that has more custmizable features than anyone can think of, PLAYERS CAN CREATE THEIR OWN WC3 SCENARIO!!!! Despite WOW, record sales, WC3 is still as popular as ever, and my fears that WOW will completely replace WC3, but the fact that its a subscriber game, where ppl pay each month to play it eases my fears. Either way, i think a movie will make Blizzard trillions, and its only a matter of time b4 it makes its own video game systems, like Microsoft did.
Ive had the same conversation b4, about Bliz making a console. But I feel that if Blizzard is concentraiting on a console, they wont put as much focus into their games.
But anyway, ever used a game-maker program? I cant help wondering what a Blizzard Gamemaker program would be like. . ..
Yes, i did use a gamemaker program, its called Warcraft III world editor, and im preety adept.
And about the "LOTR" ripoff, i think its more of a combo of a lot of things, Starwars, artharas is like anakin (and the names arent too far off either )Anakin and Artharas are powerful warriors and hugely devoted to the light. Artharas joins the dark side for revenge. He sold his soul for venegeance. Anakin joined the dark side to prevent his wife from dying, but his joining of the dark side killed his wife. ANOTHER THING...THEY BOTH DESTROY THEIR MENTORS!!! Ive never seen LOTR, but the orcs vs humans thing must seem too common, but the nightelves came outa nowhere! i mean WTF!!! Undeads? Burining legion? where also did they come from? and the treants? TOTAL ENT KNOCKOFF!!! I supposed the whole "living tree" thing wasnt origonal, i mean im SURE LOTR got the ents from SOMETHING!!!
Well it sounds like many people will support the movie, no matter what it is, as will I. I think the WarCraft storyline as a whole is a work of art, regardless of what other works have influenced it. What I am wondering is what people hope/want to see in this movie project...our favorite heroes in a new adventure, or retelling the classic stories of the games, or an entirely new set of characters and events. The possibilities are endless. Personally, I think that if they told the entire story from the War of Ancients all the way to the WoW/Burning Crusade times, it would be awesome--mind you this would take multiple films. So what does everyone else think?
im just gonna keep it short n sweet. I hope that the film is also aimed at the older 'viewer' (like LOTR) seeing as soo many have grown up with WC and that the film doesn't suffer the same fate as dungeon and dragons (that was too babyish and really bad comedy which was completely inappropriate).
what people "want" is what they expect from warcraft. They expect brave "random" men fighting against the endless hordes of the undead (has it ever occured to you that the corpse theyre fighting coulda been the fallen soldier that fell by their side?). Or more orcs wailing on the humans. I would KILL to see the palladins "no pupil" face on the big screen! LOL! (look at the palladin skin and look at his eyes. HES A ZOMBIE!!! AAAHHHHHH ) We would also like to see maybe a large squad of huntresses lobbing shurikens at orcs, and the "bouncing glaive" thing doesnt seem very realistic. Id like to see a shuriken in an orcs chest though! iv seen too many arrows! AND YES, I KNOW ARROWS PIERCE CHAIN MAIL!!! What would archimonde look like on the big screen? Does Cenarius actually look godlike, or a keeper of the grove? Its soo ridiculous!
Wait wait wait 1st of all how many movies are we gonna have, I consider that if they really want to show the mithology we need at least 3 movies 1s Azeroth creation, war of the ancients and the 1st war 2nd The second war and beyond the dark portal 3rd the rise of the scourge and the frozen throne
All I have to say is, first off, Warcraft III is based on alot of different ideas taken from alot of different sources, and they meshed them all together in a mostly original way. (they sortof took the sword from the Sword of Shannara and the One Ring from LOTR and mixed them together to make Frostmoure, least thats what I think) But its okay because even though the background stuff wasn't necessarily original, the majority of the story was. (that covers the ripoff part)
And as for the movie, well I will see it if it looks good, I only see movies that look good no matter what its based on or who made it. So, if its good and doesn't look like crap, aka: the horrid computerizing of Final Fantasy the movie....*shudder* but knowing Blizzard and there amazing attention to detail, it will most likely be good.
(BTW: no movie will ever gross trillions unless the value of a dollar drops alot, I mean seriously)
