Uwe Boll likes games. Likes making movies based on games. Likes making movies based on games involving swords, castles and magic. Guy's got a track record. So Uwe Boll making the World of Warcraft movie, it just fits, right? Did for Boll. Didn't for Blizzard. Boll says:

"I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, 'We will not sell the movie rights, not to you...especially not to you. Because it's such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it."

But what if it was a good movie, Uwe? Oh, right...

Respect for Blizzard +50.

"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

Thank... God. WoW is big enough it deserves a big budget movie. Maybe not LoTR but certainly better than anything Boll could do.

HA HA! Serves him right, I respect him for doing what he loves but why does he have to base all his movies on games. Why not just do shitty movies without connections to good games?

He was probably going to make it really out of place.

Imagine if you will, a WoW movie with the cloverfield camera perspective. How the hell would a Shaman have a camera? Boll would find a way...
