Starcraft movie pls-_-

I think its more exciting to have a Warcraft movie since Warcraft is more movie material than Starcraft, but I still want a Starcraft movie :D!

These sites might be of more use than a StarCraft site, where the majority of posters look on WCIII as the dense misformed fetus produced during Blizzards latest miscarrige.

I think Warcraft will make a better movie than Starcraft or Diablo. I hope that the Pandaren Brewmaster from WC3 makes it in somehow, such an awesome character.

Hopefully Samuel L. Jackson will be in it too lawl.

Agreed. Well, diablo may be able to work but I somehow see it coming off as even more cheesy than warcraft.

Also starcraft already has a movie in starship troopers, a great cinematic experience.

I hope it will have a good scenario! This is the most important part methinks, and blizzard's games (apart from Diablo 2*) had really nice scenarios. I didnt like Spiderman, because it was so damn "PG 12", but the director kept the spider-man feeling in the movies at least. To be honest LOTR sucked hardcore, I could barely watch it, it was a movie without any scenario to be honest; full of boredom and crappy graphics. I really hope that Blizzard will decide to aim the movie at a group higher than PG12 or at least make it more 'dark'. Does battalistic mean that the movie will be more like 300? This sounds quite good. But remember that 300 had an awesome scenario too (the comic book is better than the movie though).
It definitely wont be the next mario movie, or TMNT movie, but I also hope that it wont be childish LOTR with LOTR-like crappy battle scenes. I seriously have no idea how could anyone older than 14 like LOTR movies, they are as bad as Harry Potter movies. No damn plot. (ok blame tolkien and rowling)


iablo 2 had great in-game cinematics, but to be honest, most of the speeches by the NPCs were boring, did anyone ever read them?

Also, the LOTR movies absolutely brought the print series to life. I don't know where some people get off bashing it...

Changing some original stuff found in the books and omitting huge chunks of it while putting in a lot of crap instead (absolutely boring and unnecessary Arwen/Aragorn love drama).
There's quite a lot of things you can bash this movie for.

Won't most just dl the movie? Not that I'm streotyping wow-players, but I assume they have some knowledge of a computer and therefore more aware of torrents (and it's use).

Could be completely wrong.

EDIT: But then people may pay for it (for loyalty; I'd pay for a SC movie unless it was absulutely horrible).

Hope it does have a good storyline. I still haven't played WC story mode...

Holy shit I about shit my pants when I saw Sam Raimi's name attached to this. It might actually be worth watching then. (probably not though, I hated the spiderman movies)

most torrents are pretty crap quality until the dvd is released for a movie, since they are mostly cam recordings.

I think a Starcraft movie would be great hype for both itself and for SC2 shortly before/after SC2 comes out.

But I understand their decision to do Warcraft over any others. Their WoW base is so large there's pretty much no way the movie could fail financially. Though for excitement, I'd personally go with D2.

That said I'm expecting nothing more than 2 hours of this



or this

It's funny because I personally found LOTR to be the rare case where the books were quite boring, while the movies were great.

I don't understand all the WoW hate here :-\ Warcraft is a great universe, Raimi is a decent director, and Blizzard has enough money to get some cool actors, and the CGI video sequences in Warcraft/WoW were absolutely brilliant.

I don't get why some people hope for this to fail. I also don't get why people think that WoW movie = financial success. There are what, 10 million active WoW players? You need a lot more than 10 million people to watch the movie to make it a success.

The good thing about this is the quality of the movie will not really affect my judgment of the game whereas if a Starcraft movie were to be made and suck, it may affect people's views of the game (I think )
