Warcraft movie detailed: over US$ 100 million in budget, to be released 2009 |
Ó
Blown away, are we? Yes, it's true: the Warcraft movie is confirmed to be budgeted with over US$ 100 million (to compare, "LotR 3" had around US$ 90 million, while "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" got around US$ 120 million). This and a couple other details about the upcoming movie have been outlined during the BlizzCon event.
A panel composed of Paul Sams (Blizzard chief operating officer), Chris Metzen (Blizz chief creatives officer), and Thomas Tull (Legendary Pictures chairman) talked about the movie coming out. Aside from revealing their budget, here's the long and short of the Q&A session:
- it's scheduled for a 2009 release
- live-action with digital effects
- will run for about two hours to two and a half hours
- Thrall, Cairne Bloodhoof, Bolvar Fordragon likely to appear, Arthas won't
- no director, no actors named yet
Right now, the plot would be told from the perspective of the Alliance and will be set about a year before the events in World of Warcraft. To give some vague comparison, Thomas Tull was eying a blend of blockbuster elements like those found in 300, Gladiator, and Braveheart. Epic fun? Hellsyeah.
The picture above was taken from the Q&A session at BlizzCon. It shows an actual storyboard panel used for the movie, and it shows Teldrassil, the big "life tree" of the Night Elves.
