Will Duncan Jones be the first director to crack the mystery behind making
a good video game adaptation? Well the expectations are very high indeed, but
with the film currently in post-production and difficult and extensive visual
effects still ahead a trailer is still a long way away, however while speaking
to the Chinese news site Mtime (via ManMadeMovies), the director seems optimistic
about the chances of possibly starting a franchise.
“From the moment I first talked to Blizzard, the plan was to start our film
with the first time Orcs met Humans. First contact! I think that
for a world with so much newness to explain, this was a wise choice, especially
when so many people in our audience may not know anything about Warcraft…
it was important that some of our characters would be seeing the world fresh as
well, and that the audience could see the situation through their eyes.”
Jones also reiterated that both the Orcs and Humans will be important to
the story.
“A Warcraft film
should not be about a good race of humans battling an evil race of orcs! Warcraft should
be about heroes on both sides trying to avoid a conflict, when villains leave
them no choice.”
As for the future of the property, Jones seems positive that Warcraft will
turn into a franchise.
“Peter Jackson did a
magnificent job of ‘setting the table’ for Tolkein’s universe with his first Lord of the Rings film.
I know that my job in this first film is to establish certain characters,
places and culture while telling a story that a broad audience can be excited
by! Hopefully, if I have done my job right, people will want to know and see
more! There is certainly plenty more to tell! …I would love to be
part of that process of expanding on the lore that makes up Warcraft,
but it will all depend on what you, the audience, think of our first film!”
Warcraft is schedule to open on March 11, 2016. Go here to see who is
playing whom and on which side they are on.
