In any case one of the actors, Dominic Cooper of Captain America and Mamma Mia fame revealed some additional details about the upcoming movie, which he describes as having a very “human story”. According to Cooper, “People have savaged their own lands and their own environment and they’re having to find a new environment in which to move into through the hostility of others. If there’s something as poignant as that that we can relate to and that we see unfolding in everyday life, then it will make it a worthwhile story.” If anything it does sound like it is quite relatable and while it does sound good in concept, we have to wonder how it will translate into a movie.
Video game movies have received a pretty bad reputation as previous attempts have resulted in cringeworthy fests where not only did fans of the game not like the movie, but regular movie goers as well. Will Blizzard and Legendary Pictures be able to break that curse? We can only hope so. The World of Warcraft Movie has been scheduled for a release towards the early part of 2016.
