Warcraft would be hard to make into a film

Thomas Tull CEO of Legendary Pictures has said that Warcraft would be a difficult feat to make into a movie:

A lot of times, what has happened in the past is, studios have said, ‘How many people play that game? OK, then that means they’ll probably all go out and buy tickets.’ That is an incredibly poor way to make a movie.  So for us, it’s that we don’t know how to make a movie out of Warcraft, the video game. It’s the incredible story, the war, and these races, and everything these guys at Blizzard have come up with.

A Warcraft movie was first announced way back in 2006 and fans have been praying for any news or a release date since then. Shooting is reportedly meant to start at the beginning of next year with a 2016 release date down. But news like this certainly puts a wet blanket on many fan’s hopes.
