Will There Be a “Warcraft” Movie?

Blizzard’s “Warcraft” franchise is one of the most popular and lucrative on the gaming market today. So what about the possiblity of a big-screen feature based on the popular game?

According to Blizzard’s Frank Pearce, a writer is currently being sought for a big-screen version of “Warcraft.”

“Legendary Pictures is currently trying to assign some names to write the screenplay and find someone to direct it, so it’s still really early in production. They want to make sure they get the right talent for those different parts, especially the screenwriting because that’s the foundation for the movie” he told MTV News.

When asked if the film would be a live action movie or a CG animated movie, Pearce said, “[The idea] has come up in discussions but it’s not something we’ve really considered because it takes so long to generate just the brief amount of footage that we create for the game. It would definitely be really cool. There’s no question about that, it’s just that the quantity of work that it would take is more than we’re willing to take on at this point.”
