Warcraft is an announced live-action feature film based on the Warcraft video-game series produced by Blizzard Entertainment. The film was announced in an official press release from Blizzard prior to the Electronic Entertainment Expo in 2006.[2]
[edit] Production
In May 2006, production company Legendary Pictures acquired film rights to adapt Warcraft for the big screen with the game's publisher, Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard had originally considered hiring a scribe for the film adaptation before teaming up with Legendary Pictures.[3] The companies plan to create a film that would not follow any of the Warcraft games' storylines, but still take place in the fantasy universe.[4] According to Blizzard's Chief Operating Officer Paul Sams, the film's budget would be over $100 million.[1]
