Personally, I believe that in this world of spontaneity, instant gratification, and interest in blood and gore, shouldn’t W.O.W. tap into that when they make the movie?

With unimaginative amounts of funding,
which W.O.W. apparently (due to the massive amounts of users the game contains on it’s servers) has;

shouldn’t the movie be ground breaking in the sense that it appeals to the hardcore gaming audience AND the general public box office (children, families, 40 plus people, and non-gamers?)

Warcraft has the dynamics of L.O.T.R. so if you try to make the Warcraft universe enter the big screen it will be nuked by Peter Jackson and his fan base.

L.O.T.R. showed the world that four hour epic movie trilogies that don’t cover all of the story line are disappointing to hardcore fans, no matter how gorgeous the piece of work is.

No matter what W.O.W. the movie is not going to be able to cover all the intricate details in a movie, movies, or even a series. Just like the post in the forum says,

Plain and simple. you’d be aiming too much to an audience that know about the story of warcraft. It needs to be a trillogy at the least. You want to create a bond between the characters and the audience? not gonna happen in 2 and a half hours, too much going on to make it happen.
……
tell the story from both sides man, it would be so much more deep. something these war based fantasy movies are deeply lacking.

I believe if W.O.W. were to make a movie it should be short,
Action packed,
Character-interaction based,
heavily creative,
soundtrack influenced,
with implications of the W.O.W. plot line that only the hardcore gamers would know, but that the general public could understand that it’s all in the history books of W.O.W. also.

Directors I believe would take the movie to the next level: Quentin Tarantino, Frank Miller, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (The Directors of “Crank”), Zack Snyder, and maybe some Tim Burton?

Warcraft is a wonderful story, a fun game, and has many many fans that aren’t going to settle well with being pissed off. Sit through four hours of huge battle scenes of elves facing orcs…
or huge half hour long pan outs of intricate set designs… and be disappointed? That’s not going to settle well.

Give me a Night Elf Rogue slaughtering things (”300″ Frank Miller Style),
magic explosions,
the battle at Altrec Valley (or any singular actual Warcraft Universe historic battle)
romance for the ladies,
good costume designing and weapon design that stay consistent with actual facts from the game,
Horde and Alliance fighting physically and verbally,
badass but not too well known actors and actresses,
no flashbacks,
oh and humor, gotta have the funny,

what do you think?
