Another video game adaptation apart from Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed film starring Michael Fassbender is Blizzard's World of Warcraft. The beloved franchise has been announced having it's own feature film and is in devolpment under Universal Pictures along with Legendary Pictures.
News about the cast for World of Warcraft has already been revealed. The two allegiances, The Alliance and The Horde split the cast roster: actor Travis Fimmel will play the leader of The Alliance while Toby Kebbell of "Rock N' Rolla" fame is the head of The Horde. The rest of the cast includes, Ben Foster, Paula Patton, Rob Kazinsky, Clancy Brown, Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu and Ben Schnetzer.
The plot's have been published online by various sources including this one from Slash Film:
"We start with a room full of Alliance weapons. Swords, shields and more. "I've spent more time protecting my king than my own son," a character says in voiceover. Lots of men in Armor and some banners. "Does that make me loyal or a fool?" These are the Alliance humans. We cut to a green sky. Now we see the Horde orcs. They looked like if Shrek was real, but much scarier and realistic. Lord of the Rings quality. "I've lead thousands of warriors into battle. Does that make me a leader or a coward" The trailer then cuts between scenes of men preparing for battle, the orcs preparing for battle, and the two main voices echoing their similar philosophies. The orc home is an epic mountain space. Then the question, "Is war the only answer?" And then it begins. Battles. Flying. Swords. Hammers. An alliance griffin diving down into a battle. A man jumps on the back of the orc and stabs him in the chest."
World of Warcraft movie is also reported to have a March 2016 release date.
