"They want this to be like Lord of the Rings meets Avatar, combining the huge battles from Peter Jackson's films with the motion-capture and immersiveness of James Camreron's megahit. And basically, this is a huge insane undertaking that will take a year and a half of postproduction to put together."

Yeah, but, are we…

Is it really fanfiction when he was involved with the design of Warcraft since Orcs & Humans, though? And since he was heavily involved in Tides of Darkness?

Also you have some seriously excessively strong feelings about the fictional portrayal of Orcs and the man supposedly responsible.

Wolftech takes every opportunity to rant about Warcraft and Blizzard.

The Orcs in Warcraft ARE evil. Just read the books. They torture and murder the women and children of Stormwind and laugh about it. About the only good orc is Thrall and he is just that hack Metzen's poorly written mary sue character that he lives vicariously through which is why that piece of trash that is Orc Jesus…

Warcraft movie, not WoW movie.

Back in old times they fought for blues... Purples were thing of legends

Tbh, the first war was pretty black and white. Orcs were corrupted into being the baddies (though, I can see how that presents some gray areas).

Honestly I feel like I will have an enormous amount of trouble with this movie, but by the third or fourth sequel I will have no trouble at all.

I don't think I'll ever stop waiting for The Emerald Dream pack.

Except that the first war was literally quite good vs evil. Orcs were EVIL. But I think it will show orgrim doomhammer and we can get a one side vs another side

Seriously, Blizzard fans have infinite patience. I think it's because Blizzard doesn't generally rush things. As far as art is concerned (that's my main area of interest) they definitely always make sure that it is absolutely perfect and I think it's one of the major points that sets them apart from so many other game…

Not really. Movies (even like this) are marketed to a different audience than game expansions. For the movie release it's far more important to look at the competition in theaters, etc. For the game releases, it's all about keeping subscribers happy/attracting new subs at the right time.

Pre-production is setting everything up, production is shooting, post-production is re-shoots/editing/etc.

The machine for this one started a looooong time ago. When they first announced it on the Blizzard site, it was 2006! So all the Warcraft fans will ultimately await this a decade. Comic Con announces this sort of production way early because the fanbase is right there. And as others mentioned, putting two massive…

Warcraft was originally coming out December 2015, but after Star Wars: Episode VII claimed that date, Warcraft wisely moved back to March.

Eh — it's Comic-Con. Studios want to give fans a treat, and start the buzz, so they often show things that are 2 years out.

Well for a while it was going to come out in December of 2015, which seems like a reasonable amount of post for a movie of this scale, and then Star Wars squatted on the date and they pushed Warcraft back because you don't try and fight Star Wars.

And a couple purples.

I await the epic battle.

Sounds neat. I really want this to be a movie about a side vs another side. Not good vs evil.
