 Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! "Duncan Jones is making the jump to big-budget tentpole movies, signing on to direct Warcraft, Legendary Pictures’ live-action adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment’s video game universe.
Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing for Legendary along with Blizzard and Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Alex Gartner.
Taking an almost kitchen-sink approach to fantasy, Warcraft, which has grown to be one of the most popular multiplayer online role-playing games out there, is part fantasy, part science fiction and — depending on the game you’re playing — includes elements such as dragons and orcs, zombies and werewolves, and aliens and spaceships.
Legendary is keeping its script, written by Charles Leavitt, under wraps. The Warner Bros.-based production and finance outfit is eyeing a fall 2013 start and a 2015 release.
Jones’ producing partner, Stuart Fenegan, will executive produce while Chris Metzen will co-produce for Blizzard.
Warcraft is a big jump up in terms of scope and scale for Jones, the filmmaker son of David Bowie known for his thoughtful sci-fi work."FULL STORY HERE___________________________________________________________________________ If the film works, Jones will become a big name.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! Hmmm. I'm not interested. But I didn't care for LOTR in 2001 either.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! Should be done by 2015 or later to make us forget The Hobbit

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! It has a pretty big fanbase. I'm sure if it came out in 2013 it would still be a fairly big hit.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! Well that's awesome. If the film is done right and is a hit there are many stories to work with. Though I think I would have like a established director and planned out a trilogy right away.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! This will be such a fail. I just can't see how this can work on the big screen.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! If Blizzard has to do a movie it should be Starcraft not Warcraft

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! Curious as to what Jones will do with this. He has shown a lot of promise.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! Well if Game of Thrones has made Sword Fantasy hip again,the World of Warcraft movie will do the complete polar end and make people sneer at fantasy with contempt and disgust.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! I never played the game, but from what I've heard of the game, a movie about it could turn out to be pretty epic I think.

Re: Duncan Jones to direct Warcraft adaptation! I'm bummed it's release date was changed again. I do love the image. It looks fantastic. I've played the original Warcraft game all the way to it's current incarnation, so I'm a fan. I'm looking forward to the trailer and more images.
