BlizzCon

Seems like we are going to get more information about this at August 4th 2007, between 12pm to 1pm (BlizzCon). Can't wait! Source: http://www.worldofraids.com/news/blizzcon-schedule.jpg

Comic parallel?

The kick-ass human and other minor details seem to be what the comic is about. It is a long shot.--SWM2448 00:51, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

At blizzcon 2007 movie panel in the Q&A section sameone asked Chris Metzen if the new human character in the movie was the same as in the comic and Metzen said that it was not. Zakolj 01:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Here is the link [[1]] Zakolj 01:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh.--SWM2448 01:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Trilogy?

User Aseh, what is the source of this information? ~ ŋɑϑ 11:42, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

It is also known from selected sources that the Warcraft Movies will be a trilogy^{[citation needed]} . The names^{[citation needed]}  of each of the movie are listed here in order :

The Fall of Quel'Thalas,

The Caverans of Time,

The Battle of Mount Hyjal

I moved this here until (if) a citation is found. Zakolj 12:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, this is clearly wrong, as not only are the events of the movie completely unrelated to these titles, but he didn't even spell "Caverns" of Time correctly. Blizzard has also gone on record (at Blizzcon I believe) to say a trilogy is NOT planned - they are waiting to see how well the first movie does before they even think about sequels.--WarlockSoL 19:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Lol what a crock. Why do people like posting made up stuff? -- Raze 10:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

To see their name next to it, say the alleged "insider info". ~ ŋɑϑ 14:13, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Warlock, I read it as "Caravans" first time :P Kirkburn  talk  contr 18:24, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Honestly, making things up is just stupid, because you are going to be found out sooner or later, and then everyone will hate you o_0 -Troy Frostwind 01:29, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Hopes

I hope that:

-it will not be an LotR clone, and that it won't be seen as such.
-the Horde races will be portrayed fairly and heroicly.
-the acting doesn't suck.
-there is good action.
-the plot isn't crap.

I am rather annoyed that they did not do what seems (to me) like the most logical course for a plot: set it DURING World of Warcraft and have it be about the Alliance and Horde having to overcome their differences in order to defeat a greater foe, the Burning Legion. That way there would be no risk of it becoming "noble humans & company slaughter barbaric orcs, trolls, cow-men, and evil zombies guys". Kraas 15:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

And what is the editorial value of this discussion? --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 15:40, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I would have loved that idea. When the movie came out, there could have even been a world event like the two "put aside their differences" for a month or so and can go to either cities (pwnage, i could get a nightsaber) and not be attacked.  ?? Quest Giver Troy Frostwind, High Elf 15:37, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

But who cares? This section bears the beautiful name of "Hopes", and merely contains a blunt and premade critic of the movie when its plot has not yet even been revealed. You may talk here about what is important for the article itself, and put on your talk page or user page what you think about stuff, just like everyone else.--K ) (talk) 00:27, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Pre creation criticism

I've heard a lot of complaints about the film being Alliance favoring or selling out. Should this be given a small mention? Zarnks 23:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No. Because for one thing speculation of that type isn't allowed, and fan opinions of Horde vs. Alliance are not allowed.Baggins 23:34, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I never said I agreed with the complaints but there a few boos at Blizzcon. Zarnks 23:38, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Again, fan opinions just aren't allowed. Discuss it here in the talk page all you like, but opinions from fans will stay out of the article for neutrality's sake.Baggins 23:40, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Heh, I hadn't even read that section when I answered to Troy above. Great job Baggins, don't let'em overwhelm us.--K ) (talk) 00:31, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Crash burn lets hope not....

In this movie i dont see how they could make a good plot i mean heck lets abmit it there is no story line to any online mmorpg wuth this they could use previous games like Warcraft orcs and humans or one of the books. i think also they are going to have a hard time with this and CG charecter such as the orcs no Dull looking charecters short on detail and if you have such a large fan base like WoW then you have to fufil over 10 milllion people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gamer3 (talk · contr).

First of all, that is not how you sign a post. Second, I'm afraid we don't care what you think. If you want to edit articles and contribute, welcome. If you just want to whine, goodbye. --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 03:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

There is a story if you don't just right click on quest giver and then instantly hit accept... ^_^ yea tricky little blizzards aren't they, you have TO READ!... Anyways the plot I have seen tossed around in interviews here and there is War of the Ancients which is an excellent selection to go for, atleast first movie wise... The books sold great and the story by Richard was and still is brilliant... In the future I see them doing the same as they have been doing with the books and pre-release content on the books before the content comes out on the game. IE... Sunwell was done on the Manga and before all the gates were opened all three issues has come out, it just opens that door so that people who are not hardcore raiders can see and feel the content and I am loving it. ^_^ Anyways, this will not crash in burn... --Kkotd (talk) 18:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Andruin?

I noticed on the actors page (in the silly category??) there was now Andruin Wyrnn, why is that, if the main charecter is human, then why isn't the king in it? Apollo579 (talk) 23:30, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Varian Wrynn?

blizz said that the movie will follow a "kick ass" human, which kinda raises the possibility that the comic will probably be tied in to the movie, but at some point in a blizzcon, they mentioned that the lead character in the comic won't be the same as the one in the movie, but anyway a lot of things are probably subject to change, and I'm kinda getting the hopes of seeing Varian as the lead character in the movie.. what do you guys think?--—The preceding unsigned comment was added by JoetheHoe (talk · contr).

You might very well think that, but we couldn't possibly comment. This is not a forum, we officially don't care. --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 13:44, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I personally think JoetheHoe is right in one of his assumptions. Metzen stated that this bad-ass character was going to be like a "Thrall of the Alliance" which suites Varian Wrynn perfectly as, similarly to Thrall, he was found and trained as a gladiator by the Orcs (under the Alias Lo'gosh) and just one look at him points him out to be a seriously hordey kind of guy. --Azkera 20:56 20 October 2008

I repeat, we don't care, this is not a forum. --Ragestorm (talk · contr) 00:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

While not really caring, this was debunked above.--SWM2448 01:05, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Release Date

Given that almost nothing about this movie has been released, it's starting to appear increasingly unlikely that the movie will be released in 2009, not a single poster, production photo, or significant plot detail has been released and we're only a year away, for a movie stated to have a budget of over $100 million dollars, this is very unusual. Even worse, there hasn't been a director named, nor a specific release date, which have mostly been taken up for the spring-summer of 2009 already. Remember the Halo movie? Details about that film which is currently languishing in development hell were released shortly after it was announced. I imagine the writers strike has messed up the production schedule and Blizz and Legendary are being very reluctant to admit it to fans. Either Blizzard and Legendary are being incredibly secretive or this movie is having a hard time getting made. Lckyluke372 (talk) 04:43, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Would be nice to have the surprise login screen message: "Oh and btw, the movie's in theaters now. Go out and watch it." ~ Nathanyel (talk) 12:38, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
