Hello everyone, the news just hits in! The Warcraft movie has been announced that it will be released on June 10, 2016. Mark your calendars folks! and don't die yet (joke!), As what my friends told me when we saw this news: will you watch it in the big screen with the banner of the Alliance, or set the drums of war with the Horde?

Warcraft is an upcoming 2016 American epic fantasy film. It is based on the Warcraft video game series and set in the world of Azeroth. The film was first announced in 2006 as a project partnership with Legendary Pictures Filming began on January 13, 2014 and wrapped-up on May 23. The film is scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures on June 10, 2016.

Duncan Jones is directing the film from a screenplay that he co-wrote with Charles Leavitt. Producers include Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, Tessa Ross, Charles Roven, Alex Gartner, Stuart Fenegan, and Chris Metzen. The film will star Ben Foster, Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell and Rob Kazinsky.

The film portrays the origin story of the initial encounters between the humans and the orcs, with an emphasis upon both the Alliance's and the Horde's sides of their conflict. Featuring characters such as Durotan and Lothar, the film will take place in a variety of locations established in the video game series.

We will be pleased once the movie crew and the film production might release some teaser trailers before we all tackle the big show on the desired date, but don't get your hopes high! this is just a couple of positive announcements and more is yet to come! Here are some awesome pictures for the Alliance and the Horde down below, as well as the casting crew based on IMDb (note: one of the cast crew played the role of a Viking!)

Here is the link for IMDb

Shit, and here I was, thinking it would never happen.

I've got mixed expectations for this, I hope it turns out good,
and if Blizzard has enough of a finger involved in the directing
then it might turn into a good movie.

*Fingers crossed*

 

[Kazeon]

*grab popcorn*

 

[LordDz]

"Chris Metzen mentioned that the film will be action-packed and violent, stating "We're definitely not going to make a G or a PG version of this. It's not PillowfightCraft."

This is promising. I like.

 

[Kam]

I have been looking forward to this for some time!

 

[Garfield1337]

*Heavy breathing*

 

[Valandil]

Hope this will not look like Chronicles of Narnia, but more like LoTR movie for adults also ...

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Are the orcs going to be CGI? Gross. Not optimistic about this movie anyway.

 

[Flux]

Yes. As far as I know, the story is aboiut Thrall's Dad or something which is GOOD because I actually never know the story before Warcraft 3 and too lazy to read wikias. It is also open for a sequel this time about Warcraft 3 if it happens to be successful.

If the budget is as high as expected (100+ million) then CGI Orcs shouldn't be bad... I like to think it will be Avatar quality CGI (with an improvement of 6 years) but Warcraft style - that I could live with. CGI has improved tremendously...Hell, just look at the CGI quality in Game of Thrones and it's a TV show - albeit an expensive one.

I just hope Blizzard had enough input that they didn't just completely destroy the lore. I mean it isn't like they didn't have 20+ years of source material to work with...

They'll probably be doing both CGI and a couple of make-up artistry to get a stable allowance and budget for the film, this has been useful to a lot of movies as to where they perform camera tricks, angles, and mostly close-ups. It still depends on how they will compile the platforms of each technique.

Recently, computer graphic animators and costume sculptors are quite on the extreme level of work in now standards, and its a good thing this can now be applied on a movie such as this.

 

[BLazeKraze]

My life-hourglass said "you will die at age 100" , so I would watch this shit, I hope this movie will become successful , I hope the scene is like blizzard cinematics,
Many game-based movies are sucks, But I hope this movie is good and receive positive reviews from "rotten tomatoes"

After this movie, I hope sequels , like warcraft 2 and warcraft 3 ROC, I want to see the battle of mount hyjal on the cinema


PS : Filipino stupid dota-boys be like , "wow , a dotA movie , I will watch this, I want to see Mirana and some dota heroes!!!"
./. ./. ./.

 

[Jaina Proudless]

I am so relieved they will be doing it about pre-wow lore. Hopefully there will be a lot more of grim-dark battles and a lot less of time-travel, reviving demi-gods, and draenei/aliens.

 

[Wasabee]

Ohhhh my this is great news!

PS : Filipino stupid dota-boys be like , "wow , a dotA movie , I will watch this, I want to see Mirana and some dota heroes!!!"
./. ./. ./.

Ohhh I can pretty much relate on that thing.

 

[Chaosy]

So they didn't lie when their said summer 2016. I got high hopes for this.

I watched the interview with one of the actors (Orgrim) and the director on the last Blizzcon, made me super hyped.

 

[Edge45]

Holy ****, I always thought of Warcraft movies, I will wait for this battle

 

[Sclammerz]

PS : Filipino stupid dota-boys be like , "wow , a dotA movie , I will watch this, I want to see Mirana and some dota heroes!!!"
./. ./. ./.

This. Like hell they will see Mirana use her Sacred arrow and some sorts.

Anyway looking forward for this movie!

 

[Idaero Ace]

2016? yay. that year will be my great reunion. Warcraft movie and Assassins Creed movie

 

[Zaramorus]

Hope this will not look like Chronicles of Narnia, but more like LoTR movie for adults also ...

What you mean? Chornicles of Narnia was pretty good except the third one.

 

[sonofjay]

Gonna watch it just for the sake of seeing Durotan in action. Can't wait.

 

[Orcnet]

And Orcs, gotta love Blizzard for the Orcs!

 

[Valandil]

What you mean? Chornicles of Narnia was pretty good except the third one.

I was talking exactly about the last one that was realy dumb retarded ...

 

[deepstrasz]

Let's just hope it's a good movie. The story won't bring much or anything new from what I've read it's supposed to be about and from what I can gather seeing the characters on IMDB.

 

[humanitysector]

I want to see the battle of mount hyjal on the cinema

I feel like this has the potential to be one of the greatest battles ever filmed

 

[MasterTrainer]

Ermehgerd!

2016 just got a whole lot better.

 

[TheGreatJoshua]

I saw a video where they constructed a life size replica of the Hellscreams' weapon "Gorehowl". Here's the link, people

 

[WhiteFang]

And Orcs, gotta love Blizzard for the Orcs!

This.

I'm really looking forward to this movie

Not at all related to the movie, but entertaining nonetheless.

CGI are you kidding why would they do CGI ????????? they CaN just import orcs from isengard to the movie set WhAt kind of a nut would waste the time of animators and and artists to create something as common as an orc

Orcs in the Hobbit trilogy were CGI. I wouldn't be surprised if the orcs here are as well.

 

[Wasabee]

Well it should be.

 

[Guldan]

Eerrwhhh mahhh goood!

 

[OutsiderXE]

Orcs in Warcraft are much bigger than LotR orcs. It would be hard to find decent actors of that size. orc size ccording to wikipedia: 6' 6" - 8' 6" (198 to 259 cm) (male).

As far as I've seen and heard they are aiming for a visual style that is very close to their cinematics (http://i.imgur.com/kRpna4v.jpg) but much higher quality. I just can't see it being done with just costumes and makeup.

 

[NhazUl]

Gorillabull was trolling anyway.

I like the designs, nice to finally have a good-looking retelling of Warcraft I. Hope they do follow up with II and III.

Yeah Filipino Weaboo Dota players :O who will just watch this movie to brag about it even though they did not understood a single bit of the story line I cry everytime i see them

They'll think it's a Dota movie rather than Warcraft.

 

[chaoslord301]

Apparently, a private Leroy Jenkins was was in the original draft of the script - charging in too early. I hope they keep a reference to him in it.

 

[SMBComix]

Well, for those of you who are worried about the CGI, Legendary recently released these two images of Orgrim:

I'm soooooooo pumped!

 

[Thedraes]

where is the scourge and my banner?

 

[Edge45]

There were no undead during the Second War

 

[Deleted member 238589]

There were no undead during the Second War

You're forgetting about the first Death Knights. But yeah, the Scourge wasn't there yet.

 

[SteakOnSpear]

I could not be more pleased with how Orgrim looks like, it's just perfect.

 

[Jaina Proudless]

I could not be more pleased with how Orgrim looks like, it's just perfect.

Indeed. It's not exactly a scrotum beard unlike another recent depiction of an orc leader...

SCROTUM BEARDS

 

[JokeMaster]

And i'm just asking myself over here WHERE THE HELL IS THE BLACK PLATE?!

 

[NhazUl]

Maybe he'll forge it during the war?

 

[OutsiderXE]

I wonder if all the events get enough screen time. There's so much going with the wc1 campaign(s), The Last Guardian, bits of Lord of the Clans and bits of Rise of the Horde. I can totally understand leaving out "details" like Doomhammer's plate, as it might raise questions with no time to answer. ... but if they do it right it will be an detailed "origin" story, like Batman Begins or Daredevil.

I'm already looking forward to the moment Garona kills Llane and every non-WC-fan will go like "whoa, the 'bad' guys win???"

 

[Jaina Proudless]

I'm already looking forward to the moment Garona kills Llane and every non-WC-fan will go like "whoa, the 'bad' guys win???"

I really hope they don't make it black and white and it doesn't look like they will. I would much rather see peeps pondering on who is really the 'bad guy' as opposed to it being obnoxiously shoved in their face.

 

[JokeMaster]

They should do bad guys/ good guys, becouse of one simple reason humans are the bad guys in wow mostly. Orcs are crazy , savage, but with honor, and divided into so many different groups that most people don't even know who is who.

 

[OutsiderXE]

I think it will be both. Whether someone's good or evil will probably be because of their own choices and not by which faction they belong to. I can't remember if Garona really did it of her own accord or if she was forced to kill Ll1iI|ane.

 

[Hjorleif]

She was tricked into killing him.
