why is not about warcraft instead of world of warcraft

[Tadao]

Why not?

[darkvare]

i think naming it world of warcraft instead of just warcraft is kinda dumb but who cares?

[Fathom Zero]

There's a story to WoW?

Who's the protagonist?

[The Leader]

Frodo Baggins.

[Shrubfest]

I thought this thread said Sham Wow movie.

[Supafly345]

It really is perfect. I couldn't imagine it deserving anything better than a Spiderman 3 caliber of a movie.

[executioneer]

i hope it's 5 1/2 hours long so people get the real "should i get up and go to the bathroom or should i just use this container i've been drinking out of" feeling WoW evokes

[Dimnos]

:rolleyes Just... :rolleyes

[Zhukov]

Well, it's called 'World of Warcraft' because some people that play World of Warcraft probably haven't heard of Warcraft. They might not notice that there is a movie set in their particular gaming world if it's just called 'Warcraft'.


Oh, also, how's it .. going, Hangie? haven't seen you here for ages. Maybe it's just me though.

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROYYYYYYYY JENNNNNNKINNNNNNNNNNNNNS

[Tadao]

Right now, The Lich King.

[Shyandquietguy]

God damn, I can't tell if I want to see this or not. It's like an epitomic nerdy wink yet at the same time it looks like it'll be a train wreck worth watching.

I'm hoping that Raimi puts a sex scene in there. It wouldn't seem like his thing, but there are way too many factors here that would make it hilarious.

[BurntToShreds]

I've only ever played Warcraft III, and I can tell you right now that it would make a much superior movie. Who wouldn't love watching a pally falling from grace and becoming the very thing he was fighting against? It would be awesome.

[Dimnos]

Warcraft 3 did have a good story. Till WoW raped it and added space cows.

[Big Papa Goat]

Why didn't Peter Jackson do this?
And Warcraft 3 was just as gay as hell as anything don't be stupid

[Mockery]

Yeah, Peter Jackson would be good for this project.

They should've saved Raimi for a Diablo movie.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

They should have an entire movie about Warcraft III.

Warcraft: How Stella got her creep back.

They really need to make a Soul Calibur movie....and not muck it up.

[Babs]

I just saw Drag Me to Hell which wasn't all to bad, just a lot of goo in the mouth moments. I think Raimi could definitely pull this off but yes, Jackson would seem to be more cut out for the part as well as Raimi would be amazing at a Diablo movie.

[Zhukov]

Too bad Seregei Eisenstein was unavailable, he would have been perfect for either the Diablo, Warcraft or Starcraft movies.

[executioneer]

i'd rather see uwe boll direct either movie

[Babs]

Oh totally, he should just use the same makeup effects he used in house of the dead. Shit, might as well throw in some game play, give the viewers what they want.

[Supafly345]

Then at least nobody would pretend to like it.

[Hangie]

Frankly, I've always liked Warcraft 2's story, art, and music the best. It was the most violent and wasn't all pinks and purples and shit.

However as awesome as Sam Raimi is, the writer is probably going to do something stupid. For example make Varian or Jaina Protaganist. They really need to have the protaganist be a horde or ATLEAST NOT A HUMAN. Or else I'll freak out.

Also hi to you too, Zhukov.
