Legendary Pictures finally appears to be ready to move forward with production. Producer Charles Roven confirmed to SlashFilm that World of Warcraft: The Movie 3D IMAX Experience (suggested title) begins shooting in early 2014."
World of Warcraft: The Grind of Darkness
Producer Charles Roven confirmed...
Is there any justification for not having Uwe Boll do this?

I swear to god if they do dailies of farming, I'll /ragequit the movie and punch the guy at the ticket counter.
There may be no "I" in team, but there's also no "F" in way.
The first hour is basically just a group of people waiting for their tank to get online so that they can start the raid. The movie ends a half hour later, after the group had to settle for their off-tank filling the spot of their main. The group then proceeds to wipe to trash mobs over and over and over, until their healer has a complete breakdown, quits the guild, disconnects from the raid.
.. it's at least 5 years too late
I really hope the movie is not a Live action film. Blizzard guys make some of the best cinematics in the industry, would be great to see a CGI WoW Movie.

I can see it now: A highly regarded WOW player doesn't show up to two consecutive raids and the entire guild leaves their basement to figure out where he disappeared to.
Alternate title: "The girl with the Dragon Mount."
When you watch the movie for the first time, you'll be given a stamp book. Each time you pay to watch the movie you get a stamp.
For stamps 1-7, you only get to watch the first 15 minutes of the movie.
Stamps 8-14 allow the next 15 minutes, but you have to watch the first 15 minutes each time as well.
Stamp 15 allows you to sit through the ad break.
16-22 gives you the 20 minutes after the ad break, and you're told to enjoy the extra free content.
23-29 has only ten minutes, though, but that's okay because this is WARCRAFT we're talking about.
The 30th stamp will allow you to watch the underwhelming finale and the To Be Continued screen.
At random points you will be set upon by an angry mob as you come out from the movie. You will be mugged and beaten up with baseball bats for the true World PVP experience.

More like "A screaming match breaks out on Teamspeak after the loot master gives all the raid winnings to his buddies."

I played for about 2 years and enjoyed the heck out of the game. When I had my fill, I quit with memories of what I consider the greatest game ever created. Now, for some reason WoW is the object of derision of geeks. And, from complaints I can tell it's people who played FAR longer than I did as they're bitching about higher level classes and dungeons than I ever achieved.
It's not Blizzards fault that you played a fun and engaging game with the pathological craving of a drug addict until you couldn't stand it anymore. That's on YOU and your lack of self control. If grinding bothered you, you would've stopped playing before you got your first mount.
I play Eve now and there's the same incessant, pretentious mocking of WoW from people act like they moved to the Hamptons with their "new money" airs of superiority. And, as perplexing as it is for me to understand, the same people who spend hours probing for wormholes or mining lasers mock their days grinding in WoW!
I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!
TIL the entire movie will be shot from 3 feet above and 6 feet behind the main character.
