The World of Warcraft movie is going to suck ass.

That we can agree on. I suppose hoping that at least the lore is good is a lost cause.

It won't suck because it'll never be made.

Doesn't that make it suck too?

He directed "Moon" and "Source Code" which are both awesome movies that you should see.

Needless to say I fucking approve.

Cool, I love his youtube vids.

And no one will get that joke.

Duncan Jones is an unexpected but welcomed choice, with him directing and Charles Leavitt writing it certainly has the potential to not be a huge disaster.

I'm eager to hear more, we'll seeee.

I got it.

That was my first reaction as well. Along with "What?"

I actually loved the Source Code. Good to know we aren't getting the bottom of the barrel. Still, even if it was directed by Peter Jackson and written by a crack team of genetically modified, super smart chimpanzees, I would still be terrified of the project as a whole and almost hope that it never came to be.

Also, if you guys haven't seen Moon or Source Code, you should check them out. They're great movies.

I'm willing to measure my expectations on this, because Jones doesn't have a tentpole film to his name (which Raimi did) but I was pretty impressed with 'Source Code'.

I'm certainly interested in watching the production of this film, but I don't think there's anyway to truly judge it's quality until it gets released. Script, direction, casting, and editing all play a big part in the ultimate effect of film, and with something as big as World of Warcraft, it's something that would be a challenge for any director.

If anything, I expect something with as much fidelity to the franchise as Golden's books, especially with Metzen on as a producer. It's not going to fix all the problems that some people have with the franchise, but that's not what it's meant to do: a WoW movie is a platform to tell the story of Warcraft in an epic fantasy film, and businesswise acts as a two-hour ad for the game.

I expect it will do exactly what it's intended to do.

Blizzard, I hope you follow this.
Also, notice how it says "Warcraft" and not "World of Warcraft"?. Good sign, this.

Johnny Depp for Varian Wrynn.

...

And if you wondered if there was an ulterior motive for building up Varian over the last several years, this HAS to be the reason.

I wouldn't mind Depp in Warcraft tbh
