WTF ever happened to that teaser they put out at Comic Con. I still cant find it.

 

[Zakis]

So will anyone care at that point in 2015? I know they will but I feel like more people would be interested if it had been slated to come out years ago.

This popped up in my mind:

Spoiler

If Wildstar proves to be a good game:

2015: When is the Wildstar movie coming out?
2016: Hey they announced a new game!
2020: When is the new game's movie coming out?
etc. etc.

2+ years to allow for another 5+ years in pushbacks / cancellations.

I'm still interested in this movie just because the lore in the warcraft universe is so deep. I hope they tell and show a good story. Develop some characters and really get into the action/drama between them.

I am just really surprised they finally put a release date on it. I half expected Blizzard to not announce anything and with 3 months left to go before the movie comes out tell everyone about it.

I wonder if they will cast the leads by the time Blizzcon comes around and introduce them then.

 

[Harlequin]

Rumor has it Colin Farrel is one of the leading males roles, who could he be?

 

[TIG]

Jaina Proudmore.

FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP

 

[Simpwn]

Jaina Proudmore.

It's comments like this that make me miss the facepalm rating.

 

[tr1age]

Jaina Proudmore.

But this is so much more rewarding to do it like this.

 

[Baldoraxx]

So, A list move or B list movie.

 

[Zakis]

Ah good ole Picard!

 

[Euchale]

But this is so much more rewarding to do it like this.

We need more Bill Cosby

 

[Harlequin]

I need to go out and buy me a full Bill Cosby attire.

Unless this somehow bucks the curse of video games to movies, I don't see good things happening here.

I think I can count the good adaptations on one hand, let's see,

1. Mortal Kombat (and the sequel) This is the only one I call unreservedly good
2. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Just for the action effects
3. Resident Evil I'll give the first one to you, it was decent
4. That's it

 

[Harlequin]

uhhhhhhh SUPER MARIO BROTHERS?!?!?! C'monnn

 

[Keleynal]

uhhhhhhh SUPER MARIO BROTHERS?!?!?! C'monnn

That was so bad, they never made good on the cliffhanger-sequel-coming ending.

 

[Valadrill]

You missed also Streat Fighter.... ok... dot talk about this film
But how could you miss Lara Croft, Tomb Rider ? Cmon!
