World of Warcraft: The Movie!
I *love* World of Warcraft! I played it all the way through university since release day on US servers (Stormrage, if you are interested!) in between studying of course… and now there is a World of Warcraft movie in production.
It’s going to be created in live action, with the same producer as the epic 300 [Thomas Tull] it will be focussed around a male alliance character – my guess is a human! 
Rumour has it that a budget of over $100 million has been committed to the production of the film, and I’m not surprised in the slightest. Given that Blizzard has over 8 million players in World of Warcraft each paying $15 a month, they make $120 million each month!
Here is a bit of an insight…
“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. More of an armies building to an inevitable conclusion type situation…”
No director or cast have yet been assigned to the project and Tull stated that recognizable actors to play main roles was not a necessity:
“We are starting those conversations. We’re going to be looking for someone of Zak Snyder (300) or Chris Nolan (The Dark Knight, Batman Beings) calibre,”
