Alright, gamers, here ya go: World of Warcraft is now going to be a major motion picture and it already has big names attached, including producers from The Dark Knight and the director of Spiderman, Sam Raimi.

No details yet about what the movie will be be about, but Raimi is said to start work on the project as soon as the shitshow known as Spiderman 4 is complete.

Doesn't Tobey Maguire have anything better to do?

No? Sad.

Are U excited for a Warcraft flick?

    10. 10

      Sam Raimi can do no wrong in my eyes…not even with Xena, i'm telling you he is the man since Ash!



    11. 11

      Hell Yeah! Been waiting a long a$$ time for this. Im just wondering what scenario they will be playing out. And will the movie coincide with the next expansion. That = $$$$$

      FOR THE HORDE!



    12. 12

      Fuck no.



    13. 13

      With all the video games being turned into movies are you really surprised that the most famous one is going to become a movie? Ruthie, better hide your husband.



    14. 14

      South Park had it down!



    15. 15

      Umm…. this isn't exactly recent News. I knew about this about 2 years ago. Although it was less 'official'



    16. 16

      watch the othersiders tonight at 9pm on cartoon network!!!



    17. 17

      yay! gamergeeks will be there in flocks…including me :)



    18. 18

      HELLZ Yeah Imma go see it. I've played since it first went live in the US. I just hope Sam Raimi does his friggin homework and stays true to the Warcraft storyline!

      FOR THE HORDE!!!



    19. 19

      Wasnt WOW like 5 years ago?



    20. 20

      Re: Mrs.062708 – HAHA! So True!



    21. 21

      Well, at least it's not a remake;)



    22. 22

      Even if it's terrible, It's worth it to pelt shit at Alliance players who jump gleefully from their mom's mini-van.

      For the HORDE.



    23. 23

      I think this movie might do pretty good with ticket sales.
      With producers and directors from those 2 amazing movies…it could be a gooder. I have never seen or played this game but my bf has played it (i'm not a video/computer game girl). My boyfriend is not even close to being a nerd and he's played the game, think of all the other guys and then the nerds…and then all the gfs and friends that are going to be dragged there….like me most likely lol.

      I guess we'll see how it does.



    24. 24

      next it will be the sims



    25. 25

      this game destroys liiiiveees.. they'll be too attached to their computers to go, or bring laptops with them… in costume.. i can already see it.. aaaah. i'll stay home.



    26. 26

      STUPID!!!! I hate all those kind of games. That is all my brother does, and he's almost graduated. can you say loser?



    27. 27

      YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But lord there are gonna be fights over this one…do they choose the alliance or the horde? DE Warrior Women FTW!!!!!!



    28. 28

      There goes perez, talking smack about something that has nothing to do with the post. So many people love spider man, i only really liked the 2nd one… you know actually i dont care to continue lol sorry



    29. 29

      lolz



    30. 30

      sweet, i love WOW(world of warcraft) i play it



    31. 31

      LOL! I play the game and would definitely see the movie…if they make it right!



    32. 32

      Old news… like really old



    33. 33

      The only news about this is that they found a director. The movie was announced by Blizzard like 2-3 years ago. I think it will be an awesome movie as the game itself has pretty good lore behind it. I can't wait!! Horde FTW!!



    34. 34

      Oh god NO, kill me now. That stupid game has destroyed the social lives and bank balances of too many nice (if slightly nerdy, not to stereotype…) people I know, the film'll just encourage more people into the trap.



    35. 35

      YESS!



    36. 36

      OMG SUPER EXCITED!



    37. 37

      yay im excited



    38. 38

      what could tobey maguire possibly have going on that's more important than the ZILLIONS of dollars that he's being paid to reprise the peter parker role? this isn't exactly the same thing as sticking with a franchise that's going straight-to-dvd… he'd be stupid to NOT do it!



    39. 39

      Are we excited? No.



    40. 40

      The nerd inside me who wasted money for 2 years on this god forsaken game is extremely excited.



    41. 41

      I'd rather it be based on Warcraft III, because that game actually has a storyline, and a good one at that.



    42. 42

      ok my soon to be husband plays the game and is very excited about there making a movie now maybe i can find out why i always here f**king horde all the danm time .. and as for be able to leave the computer to watch the movie thats simple if they don't watch it in the theater they can wait and rent it and watch while they play …



    43. 43

      YES! BRING IT BITCHES!



    44. 44

      Hell yes I'm excited! Blizz have said the story is gonna be told from an Alliance viewpoint, not so good news to all the Hordies on this forum. Muwahaha, praise the Light, bitches!

    45. xcite says – reply to this

    48. 48

Oh wait there isnt one cuz its never ending! I hope the person that invited this dumb fucking game gets alzheimers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      NO!!!!!!!!!!!



    51. 51

      FOR THE HORDE!!!!



    52. 52

      53

      Welcome to 2 years ago Perez. This was announced at BlizzConn in 2007. There was even a story a while back about how Uwe Boll wanted to direct it but Blizzard laughed in his face.



    54. 54

      Hell yes I'm fucking excited!!! I'm a WoWer (or well, was until I got bored) and have been waiting for a movie!! GOD I hope they don't fuck it up.



    55. 55

      I hope it follows Arthas' storyline.



    56. 56

      Thats the most stupidest thing I have ever heard of ( read actually ). . . just another thing for worthless,jobless,stupid nerds or jackass's to waste time on! just what this country needs…



    57. 57

      I'll see it, but only if it's told by the horde side.



    58. 58

      Stupid. Really, Really Gay. Has anyone seen the "Greatest Freakout Ever" video on Youtube? That's hilarious. Imagine what fans of the game are gonna do about the movie…ohhhhh crap.



    59. 59

      oh god. Can you IMAGINE the basement dwellers that will come out to see this in theaters? The entire theater will smell like doritos and body odor D8



    60. 60

      oh god…



    61. 61

      FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!!



    62. 62

    63. 63

      Re: GlowWorm – Ya mad, bro?



    64. 64

      Oh hell no!! I sure don´t wanna watch it… but hey there´s a lot of Wow-geeks out there. Smart move ;)



    65. 65

      FOR THE ALLIANCE!



    66. 66

      WOOO! Way to be sarcastic you ass, but World of warcraft is the biggest game in the world right now. You know this will be a HUGE money maker. FOR THE ALLIANCE



    67. 67

      I play warcraft, so as long as there are some super overpowered hunters (such as myself) It'll be cool.
      … Yes I'm a nerd.



    68. 68

      NNnahhhh



    69. 69

      Nice! It will rock. It will scare off all the idiots. Nerds like us like the stupid people to stay away. They can't handle complex narrative fiction.



    70. 70

      That game is the dumbest thing ever!!!!



    71. 71

      Re: amynchris5717 – Your soon to be husband and you have never asked him anything about his interests? What a great fucking wife you're gonna make.

      72

      NOOO! my boyfriend plays Warcraft all the time!! all i needed is a freaking movie, ugh.



    73. 73

      …Seriously? LMAO!
      It'll probably be horrible. There's no way anyone can make that a decent movie.



    74. 74

      You are so ahead of the times I knew about this over a year ago



    75. 75

      Re: Scene_GIrl – bahahahahha no u r the most stupid thing ever!! haha "most stupidest" is incorrect grammar stupid… yes i play WOW… yes this seems lame… yes im prolly gonna go c it haha… SHOUT OUT 2 ALL MY LADY GAMERS!!! ALLIANCE FTW!!!



    76. 76

      Does Tobey Maguire have anything better to do than to make $30M for a couple of months work? Do you even think about what you type, or does it just flow out like wet shit?



    77. 77

      O.k. for me being someone who plays w.o.w. I hope I can pull myself away from game to go see it ;) lol



    78. 78

      what is the world coming to.. seriously..



    79. 79

    84. 84

      Just what we need. Another shitastic movie from a video game. Hollywood is destroying everything that we love like comic books, video games, old tv shows. Now they fucking with my fav, anime. Hollywood needs some orginal thinkers because they are fucking up everything that ppl love and enjoy.



    85. 85

    92. 92

      Re: OrontesGuy – *cough* so it'll be a movie about whiney bitches that can't work together long enough to get a group of level 80s through deadmines huh?

    95. 95
