WoW will be a movie!
mike allegretto
The hit online game World of Warcraft is heading to the big screen, as
Warner Brothers-based Legendary Pictures has picked up film rights and
will develop the project with game publisher Blizzard Entertainment,
which is owned by Vivendi, Variety reported.
World of Warcraft, a massively multiplayer online role-playing fantasy
game, has more than 6 million subscribers who not only team up to go
on quests, but also interact and form deep social relationships, the
trade paper reported.
The only other video games that rival World of Warcraft are the Grand
Theft Auto and Halo franchises. Universal and Fox are revising a
script for Microsoft's Halo movie, with hopes to release it in the
summer of 2007, though they may have to push back that date since the
movie doesn't even have a director yet. Universal is owned by NBC
Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM

I'm sure we all dream of our favorite games, EQ or WoW, to be done as
3-hour Lord of the Rings type epics. The sad history shows Super Mario
Brothers
or BloodRayne are more likely: 90 minutes, no cinematography to speak of,
wooden actors, a production team that is just Unclear On The Concept.
Just going to wait and see...

At least I'll get to practice my pick-pocketing.

Those pansies actually drink lattes. They would choke on real espresso.
So, no, they will not like Ogrimmar. Darnassus perhaps, there was a
Starbuck's near the priest trainer last time I checked.

Nah, Darnassus is a tea town. You might find lattes in Ironforge. 90 proof
lattes.

Will there be Epic Popcorn?
Everyone under 40 will have to sit on the floor. 40-59 get wood chairs
while 60 and up get Lazy Boys.

How long will we have to wait outside the theatre before they

going to be fairly easy.
The production house will base in Ironforge for the scouts to pick up
talent outside the Auction House and Bank. There will be a Gnomish
Barista set up near the Alchemy Trainer in Tinkertown with the
Engineering Supplies vendor selling a new Schematic: Popcorn Machine.
The schematic will require 1 Copper Modulator, 1 Bronze Framework and 1
Elemental fire. The device will be useable by anyone with Cooking 200
and require the reagents Popping Corn which is sold by a reagent vendor
and the Cooking Supplies vendor will have the Popcorn Butter reagent.
Due to the difficulty in filming in some places, scenes involving
Blackrock Mountain will be shot in The Great Forge with some set
dressing and clever camera angles. Scenes in Maraudon will be shot in
Old Ironforge, unless they can convince the Princess to vacate with the
promise of a free makeover at Elizabeth Arden. Scenes in Blackrock
Spire will be shot in the Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge with the Rookery
Eggs being substituted by left over egg props from the movie Alien.
The merchandising will be based out of the Craftsman's Terrace,
Darnassus with the T-Shirts being hand sewn from Runecloth. For some
reason, there's a Runecloth surplus in Darnassus and the Nightsaber
salesman is very happy. For those members of the Cast and Crew who wish
healthy food and healthy living, there is accomodation near the Inn in
the Craftsman's Terrace. Accomodation, yes. Walls, no. The Paparazzi
are constantly being ejected from Darnassus by the Sentinels for this
very reason.
The media and the press will be situated in Stormwind with Lady Prestor
taking on the role as Publicist. Unfortunately the last Press
Conference was cut short after Marshall Windsor arrived from Blackrock
Depths with a couple of stone tablets. The media thought the dragonkin
guards were a nice touch and part of the publicity stunt. Any further
questions are to be directed to Lady O, The Wyrmbog.

Darnassas is an herbal tea and aroma therapy town.

There is not enough heavy explosive in the world to make the princess look
presentable. *

We could get lucky. Resident Evil was really quite good, especially
for the genre.
The key thing will be for the movie / direct/ writers etc to not take
themselves too seriously, nor to go for pure camp. A favorite example
is Lake Placid.
