World of Warcraft Movie Preview

The guys at ActionTrip have put together a two-page preview of Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures’ upcoming World of Warcraft movie. The information contained within was apparently taken from BlizzCon:

In the process of creating the story, Blizzard has come up with a completely new hero, which they describe as being “badass.” Sadly, other than that rather vague description, they refused to reveal any further details, although they appeared to be pretty excited about the prospect of introducing a brand new character to the universe (again, another piece of information coming from BlizzCon). In answering many inquiries related to the all-too familiar character of Arthas Menethil, Chris Metzen clarified that Arthas won’t be the focus of the movie storyline. As for the type of plot you can expect, Blizzard revealed that “It’s actually not like the great adventure. It’s not so much a quest movie. It’s more of a war movie. Well, okay, it’s absolutely a war movie. Cultures grinding up to a horrible moment where it just all spills over and gets out of control. Less of an adventure party quest-type situation and more of an armies building to an inevitable conclusion type situation.”
