"World of Warcraft" kommer til det store lærred

Computerspillet skal filmatiseres.

Efter computerspillet "World of Warcraft" har solgt næsten tre millioner eksemplarer efter kun 24 timer på markedet, har MTV valgt at udspørge spillets udvikler Blizzard, om der kommer en film baseret på spillet, og det lader til, at der er hold i rygtet.

Frank Pearce, vicepræsident hos Blizzard, fortæller: "Legendary Pictures is currently trying to assign some names to write the screenplay and find someone to direct it, so it’s still really early in production. They want to make sure they get the right talent for those different parts, especially the screenwriting, because that's the foundation for the movie."

Men bliver filmen lavet i CGI, som det ses i spillet? "[The idea] has come up in discussions but it's not something we've really considered because it takes so long to generate just the brief amount of footage that we create for the game," forklarer Pearce. "That department's focus is creating the footage for the games to tell the story; it would be a huge undertaking and it's not really something that we're ready to do anytime soon."

"Wrath of the Lich King" er det hurtigst sælgende PC-spil nogensinde, men om det er nok til at skabe en filmsucces, må tiden vise.
