Warcraft Movie Director Discusses Project at Comic-Con

We have heard so little about the upcoming, as of yet untitled, Warcraft movie, that even a few quotes from the new director attached to the project are newsworthy at this point. As GameSpot was able to report from this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Duncan Jones – Moon and Source Code among his credits – thinks it’s the opportunity of a lifetime for him, and is keenly aware of how important the fantasy universe crafted by Blizzard is for some people:

“The opportunity to do something like Warcraft is a once-in-a-lifetime thing. You hope that you’re going to get the chance to make films where you really get to delve into fantasy,” Jones said. “And with Warcraft, I actually get to create a world and there’s not that many filmmakers who get the chance to start from scratch and build something that big. I know how lucky I am and I am so excited to do it.”

…

“I’m well aware of it. And a lot of people who are my friends play and I used to play. I’m very aware of what the goal is there to achieve,” he said.
