    a warcraft film? or a WORLD OF WARCRAFT FILM? they should base it off of WARCRAFT 3

    It is based off the Warcraft universe, not necessarily within the scope of WoW. They could go all the way back to the War of the Ancients if they wanted. I, for one, am pretty damn amped with this announcement. Blizzard has always been a leader in the gaming world, and I think they are poised to seriously shake things up with the first good movie based on a game or game franchise.

    Arthas is a wellspring of angst. Expect Raimi to pump that well dry.

    Well being a Warcraft player since the first one came out and now a guild leader in WoW since 2004 I can say that I would rather they take the story from the lore before the MMO. WoW has muddled and messed up a lot of the lore to make it fit the expansions and Raid instances.

    The story with Arthas is a classic and would be well worth the price of admission, not to mention Thrall and the Orc exodus.

    My question is where are they going to find all the 6 foot tall buxom strippers to play the female Night Elves, who can actually act of course.

    According to some quotes from Blizz, the story will take place between the end of WCIII and the beginning of WoW and be set from an Alliance perspective.

    Damn, it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for Evil Dead 4.

    If it's two and a half hours of a WoW character running through a field it'll still make a billion dollars.... WoW freaks will buy anything!
