If you’re like millions of others, then you just can’t get enough of World of Warcraft. Now you can expect a feature movie, to be released by the year 2009. The movie was announced at Blizzcon 2007. Expect the best in special effects and major talent, give that the movie will have a budget exceeding $100 million.

The plot for the film will take place approximately a year before the start of World of Warcraft, including races you have played and lands you have wandered in, where lots of plot arcs are melded into a two and a half hour story. The film itself will revolve around a ‘badass’ new hero, with a theme towards conflict and culture - being a War Movie rather than a quest movie, from an Alliance’s perspective.

“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.”

There’s no director named for the project yet, but it was revealed that they would go for a PG-13 rating. The movie promises to make the game even more popular than before.
