WOW Movie Details Surface At BlizzCon ‘07

A spirited panel announced an upcoming WOW movie at this years BlizzCon causing hundreds of keyboards to hit the ground in unison. This will mark the first movie for Blizzard and it has been long in the making, five years long to be exact.
The partnership between Blizzard and Legendary Pictures drew cheers from the crowd, as it very well should have being that this is the same studio that just finished the blockbusters 300 and Batman Begins.
Legendary Pictures’ CEO Thomas Tull wanted to make it clear to fans that their goal was to make an epic film not a video game movie. He compared the quest they were embarking on to the masterful work of Peter Jackson on Lord of the Rings.
While no decisions having been made on a cast or director the parties announced an estimate of $100 million for production and hope to have the film ready for a 2009 release.
