World of Warcraft, massively multiplayer
online role playing game that captured the hearts of literally millions (20
million daily players world wide in its glory days) of people world wide, whom
daily log in to an virtual world named Warcraft and fight through their avatars
against or with each other. World of Warcraft was first released in November
2004 and today, after 4 expansions (The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich
King, Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria) this game still remains 8.7 million
daily subscribers. The strength of this game lies in its compelling and hugely
complex storyline and the amazing ability to create stunning game cinematics.
Yet,
Blizzard, the company behind this game and
creators of more amazing franchises such as: Diablo and Starcraft announced
that the number of subscribers dropped in the first quarter of 2013 by 14%. It
is just about time to create a movie from this amazing game. Planning started
already few years ago, however directors are tossing World of Warcraft movie
like a hot potato. After Peter Jackson
and Sam Raimi
decided to drop from the movie, recent information say that the director whom
is also David Bowie's son - Duncan Jones is going to direct the World of
Warcraft movie. His previous movies were 'Moon' and 'Source
Code'.
It
is about time to start shooting so the actual players of the game would still
be alive. Legendary Pictures producer Charles Roven confirmed for SlashFilm
that they are ready: "First quarter 2014 we are going to shoot that
movie." Release date is planned for 2015. Crossed fingers!!!
