Yet another rumor has hit the air. Apparently preparations are being made to produce a “World of Warcraft” motion picture in China. Don’t get too excited yet, as it might be at least 5 years before we see this on the big screen. There have been rumors both serious and ridiculous, but the decistion to move forward seems to have been made. 

Blizzard Entertainment President Mike Morhaime was talking about how he wants to have feature length films released for not only Warcraft but Diablo and Starcraft as well. He expresses that he thinks that the game worlds will appeal to both gamers and non gamers alike.

This is not unprecedented, as Blizzard has worked before with Coke, to produce a World of Warcraft Coke Commercial. The9.com, which is the company that handles the Chinese distribution for World of Warcraft, will probably be involved in the movie production. I think we might even see the SMG group get involved in this one.
