I've never played World of Warcraft, but a movie of the game? Well it's happening with Warner Brothers having gained the rights along with Blizzard, a company owned by Vivendi the games company. I suppose it's as daft as one of that Dungeon Master game.

From Coming Soon:

While the "Warcraft" franchise has been around for more than a decade, the most recent iteration, the megahit online title "World of Warcraft," has transformed the video game industry.

Unlike most games, where players pay $50 once and play until they're done, more than 6 million people around the world pay $14.99 per month to participate in the multiplayer game.

...and that's where the news ends. There's nothing more, not even a hint of what might happen next, who could be involved, anything. This will be to grab the WoW fans out of their seats and get them hooked into the idea. It'll be interesting to see where this project goes next. Wouldn't it be great if they decided to make it as collaborative and self evolving as the game itself? Nah, it'll never happen.
