making a movie out of something like this must be really hard, seeing as there is no paticular protagonist you could use

and would it be done from the perspective of the horde or alliance? and if its done from neither would it just be a morally void view of some stuff that happens?

i'm not sure how this could work but it'll be intresting to see how it plays out

It's going to be Alliance sided, although Horde is way more awesome.

How could you even make a movie about World of Warcraft? This is going to be terrible. I don't care who the **** is directing it.

You DO realize that this is based on the Warcraft universe as a whole, not just WoW? There are lots of stories to base it on.

I wouldn't judge it before you have even seen a trailer -- or even a poster -- for it. Damn.

I guess it could work, but I don't think it will be a good movie.

I don't know, Super Mario Brothers looked like it couldn't be made into a good film. Look at how good it turned out, though.

Except the near endless list of protagonists they could use, sure.

From the warcraft story in a nutshell post I just read on ign(which took me about 3 weeks to finish), I'm gonna go ahead and say the horde aren't the good guys, but they aren't the bad guys either.

Jeremy is correct. Warcraft, especially WoW, is morally ambiguous.

EDIT: http://movies.ign.com/articles/100/1006832p1.html

New info on movie.

They better have my 49 paladin as a main role. I'm telling you I'm only seeing it if they star me in it.

But really, looks cool - I'll probably go see it.

The story of warcraft 3 would be neat in a movie.
