With
Duncan Jones (Moon) working on developing the big screen adaptation, the
popular video game seams closer than ever to be released, but with the bad
karma that follow video game adaptations to film (Super Mario Bros., Tomb
Raider, BloodRayne, Prince of Persia, etc… you get the point) and with such a
huge universe one can think to adapting World of Warcraft won’t be easy, and regarding
the adaptation, Thomas Tull the head of Legendary Pictures in an interview to
/Film said:
“So
for us, it’s that we don’t know how to make a movie out of Warcraft, the video
game. It’s the incredible story, the war, and these races, and everything these
guys at Blizzard have come up with. They have 100 books, and just this
incredibly rich world that they’ve created, and so having Duncan Jones realize
that for us was exciting.
We’ve
taken our time [developing this property], because we absolutely don’t want to
screw it up. And I think we’re getting close to a place where we’re ready to
go. And when the script is finished, and when we feel like, ‘Forget whether or
not there’s a built-in audience. Does this stand on its own, and is it great?’
Then we’ll start filming. We’re not quite there yet, but we’re under suspicion
of going there. And Duncan is one of those directors that you just, ‘This guy
gets it.’”
Well
I’m certain that fans of the game would be expecting to here; “We are going to
begin shooting next week”, but at least Legendary and Jones realize what a huge
project this is and that need to get it right.
