[SwampFae]

The deal has been made and the project is finally going ahead.
Warcraft is going to be made as a real movie.
Whilst much is still being shushed down regarding any info.
The goal for the release of the movie is to be set in year: 2011.

We may expect top of the line CG-Animation along with human actors on this one.
It has been in the planning stages for a very long time now.
All that remains now is what the results will be.

He actually asked to direct it. The response from the Blizz CEO was "No, not you. Not ever."

Was in a Blizzcast or Blue Post or something a while back.

Uwe - “You go for it, to please the game fans, but on the other hand if you have the hard core gamers, they live in their own world. And you cannot fulfill their ideas from a video game based movie, it’s impossible. And to be honest, the real gamers are the typical download guys, right? They don’t pay anything for movies, because they illegally download the movies. So why I should please these guys? I need the normal audience.”

Paul Sams representing Blizz - "We will not sell the movie rights, not to you…especially not to you. Because it’s such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.”
