Wow Movie n stuff (?)

Bueno sigo sin poder dormirme asi que me dedique a buscar el press release y una entrevista en game spy que ni me acuerdo cuando la lei... y sorpresa encontre una entreviste en mtv tambien

In talks with MTV, Sam Raimi has revealed that “Saving Private Ryan”
writer Robert Rodat will be penning the World of Warcraft movie
adaptation. The storyline will be an original effort, set in the
Warcraft universe but not following the Lich King book (which had been
rumored as a subtitle).

“We would choose… something that encompasses lands
and characters and storylines, and we would be true to it. But our story
may or may not be about one of those central characters.”

“We want to be really faithful to the game. We would
have our writer, Robert Rodat, really craft an original story within
that world that feels like a ‘World of WarCraft’ adventure. Only
obviously it’s very different ’cause it’s expanded and translated into
the world of a motion picture.”

“[The hope is to properly capture] the Horde and the
Alliance and the mythology that takes place in the game, and the
archetypes that the game presents. I think we would try and find
touchstones within the game to make it accurate and true and choose one
or some of the lands that are portrayed in the game with as much
accuracy and authenticity as possible.”

Chris Metzen, Blizzard’s VP of Creative Development, has spoken with
GameSpy about the latest WOW Movie developments – mainly Sam Raimi as
director of the big screen adaptation. He discusses Raimi’s dedication
to creating faithful adaptations (he
didn’t have full creative control in Spider-man 3) and his
excitement at seeing familiar places and characters brought to the big
screen.




GameSpy: You’ve just made the big announcement that
Sam Raimi will be directing the Warcraft movie. You’re co-producing, so
what are your thoughts on the announcement?
Chris Metzen: We’re all very, very excited about the
announcement. We waited a long time to announce a director. We’ve been
with Legendary for a number of years and we’ve jammed a lot of ideas,
and we’ve waited for the right personalities, the right chemistry to
come together. We’re really, really stoked that it finally has. It’s
pretty surreal that we’ve finally made the announcement. It’s finally
like, “It’s on, it’s official, here we go.” We’re just stoked to get it
going and see this thing starting to take shape.
GameSpy: Was Sam Raimi one of the originally targeted directors?
Chris Metzen: We talked about a lot of different people, and
certainly his name was one of the first we had talked about. We’re all
huge “Spider-Man” fans, and all of his horror content, like “Army of
Darkness” is one of my personal favorites. Sam’s one of those guys who
came out swinging with “Spider-Man,” in terms of handling the licensed
product and all the geeky fanfare. The passion of fandom, he really
translated that into something that everyone could love, and had a lot
of heart. And those were really important components for us, in terms of
translating a license, in building a cinematic experience that speaks
to the license, but really sings to everybody. That was really, really
important to us, so he was the perfect partner.

GameSpy: The fan base is relying on you to ensure that the movie
stays true to Warcraft. Are you prepared to say that it will be?
Chris Metzen: Absolutely! Absolutely.
GameSpy: What most excites you about co-producing the movie?
Chris Metzen: The thing that would excite me most is just that it
translates boldly. That it feels like a fan experience, and that a
couple years from now, you sit down in a theater and you’re like, “They
did it. They got it. That feels genuine.” It may not be about your Level
12 Night Elf Hunter, specifically, but all the familiarity — the
locales, the places, the characters, the storylines — it all feels
contiguous and one-to-one with your expectations. That’s my great hope.

The World of Warcraft movie is officially on the move, after many
months of stagnation we thought the project may have died a quiet death.
However, behind the scenes it seems there were some exciting
discussions and today, two years since the initial announcement,
Blizzard and Legendary pictures have named their director, one Sam
Raimi.




Raimi has directed both the Spider-man and Evil Dead series, and may
be a perfect choice, as someone that can take a huge wealth of core
material (with a strong fan following) and deliver something phenomenal.
Raimi is currently set to direct Spider-man 4 which is
due for release in 2011, production hasn’t yet started on the fourth
movie, which gives the World of Warcraft movie a release date, at the
earliest, sometime in 2012. (Assuming Spider-man 4 begins early next
year, takes one year to complete and meets its release date, and that
the WOW movie has a similar schedule).
Press release

LOS ANGELES, Calif. – July 22, 2009 — Blizzard
Entertainment, Inc. and Legendary Pictures announced today that Sam
Raimi has signed on to direct the eagerly-anticipated major motion
picture based on Blizzard Entertainment’s award-winning Warcraft
universe. Raimi has, in the course of his career, clearly demonstrated a
genius for developing and adapting existing fictional universes for
mainstream audiences while staying true to the spirit of the original
content.
Raimi directed the Spider-Man trilogy, which has broken box-office
records around the world and garnered five Academy Award nominations.
Known for his imaginative filmmaking style, richly drawn characters and
offbeat humor, Raimi wrote and directed the cult classic, The Evil Dead
and produced 30 Days Of Night. He most recently wrote and directed the
supernatural thriller, Drag Me To Hell.
“At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story,” said
Raimi. “I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to
bring this project to the big screen.”
Charles Roven’s producing talents were recently seen with last
summer’s blockbuster The Dark Knight, which grossed in excess of $1
billion, was nominated for eight Academy Awards and won two. His body
of work also includes the widely acclaimed Batman Begins and the sci-fi
classic 12 Monkeys. Roven, with Atlas producing partner Alex Gartner,
will be producing with Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull, Legendary’s
Chief Creative Officer Jon Jashni, Raimi and Raimi’s producing partner
Joshua Donen. Raimi’s partner, Robert Tapert, will be an Executive
Producer and Blizzard Entertainment’s Senior Vice President of Creative
Development, Chris Metzen, a Co-Producer.
“Partnering with Sam Raimi exemplifies Legendary’s mandate of
marrying the highest quality intellectual property to world-class
filmmakers” said Legendary’s Tull. “Sam’s passion for ‘Warcraft’ is
undeniable and we know that he will create an incredible film worthy of
Blizzard’s phenomenal franchise. We look forward to collaborating with
our partners at Warner Bros. and continuing our successful relationship
with Chuck in bringing this rich new world to the screen.”
“Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have a shared
vision for this film and we searched at length to find the very best
director to bring that vision to life,” said Paul Sams, chief operating
officer of Blizzard Entertainment. “From our first conversation with
Sam, we could tell he was the perfect choice. Sam knows how to
simultaneously satisfy the enthusiasts and the mainstream audience that
might be experiencing that content for the first time. We’re looking
forward to working with him to achieve that here.”

che capaz te pones una traduccion xq no entiendo ni jota

Muy interesante XD.

Al parecer faltan 2 años por ahi y segun dicen sera una historia que ocurra dentro del mundo de warcraft, no se si algo "paralelo" onda la historia de kaled :O, o tal vez algo asi como la historias principales.
Espero se mantengan fieles a la historia y no sacquen cualqueir fruta XD.

en el panel de la peliuca que armaron en blizzcon 09 con Legendary Pictures ya dijeron 2 cosas por lo menos (lastima que no encuentro lkas transcripciones y no tengo ganas de buscar un video con buena definicion)

1 - que va a ser una pelicula de guerra, a diferencia del señor de los anillos que es una pelicula de "quest" por decirlo de alguna forma (o si sacas todas las escenas de viajes a caballao y las partes de frodoy sam).
2 - que van a agregar un nuevo personaje a los nombres de warcraft (osea thrall, jaina, alexzandros, darion, arthas, etc...) aca es en donde hay mas provabilidades de que metan la pata hasta el fondo.

Citación :

regla numero 27 de hollywood: toda pelicula basada en videojuego puede ser libremente distorsionada para conseguir la mayor cantidad de dinero posible, pasandose la historia por el forro de los c******, asi como los personajes y demas

o sease, ke yo me espero una m***** de pelicula, a menos que se respete la historia y los personajes sin meterle ninguno de la nada y cosas asi. (sino, street fighter, las 2 que han hecho... se han cargado un mito de los videojuegos)

falta que hagan que la horda y la alianza se unan, nombren de comandante a un gnomo... santas embarradas batman.


el problema es que raza va a ser el personaje nuevo tambien si ponen un humano, un gnomo o un enano no me voy a hacercar ni con un palo de 200 metros al cine

por dios seguro va a ser un fucking draenei y que no va a poder hablar bien por que todas las pijas que le cuelgan de la pera se le van a trabar en la boca u.u

Eso les pasa por ser Hordas XD Hablan repitiendo la R, como Rusos... Imaginate... Como en el Call of Duty 1 pero en Warsong
HAN CAPUTURRRADO LA BANDERRRRA NIET!!!!
Va a ser un Dreanei, dale por seguro... o un Humano, son los mas implicados en los hechos de todo los juegos... Por eso Bolvar o Tirion iban a ser los nuevos Reyes Lich... No podia ser Thrall o Garrosh...
Ojo que ahora Thrall es guardian del mundo, suplanto a Malfurion!
