During this year’s Blizzcon, members from Blizzard and the World of Warcraft film’s director Duncan Jones took to stage.

The movie recently announced its December 18, 2015 release date with shooting beginning in January.

Jones is reported to be a massive World of Warcraft player himself and his goal with the film is to show the origins of the warring sides. He wishes to show both sides equally so that the audience isn’t lead into choosing one side, much like when playing the game.

The film will be shot using actors and on-set motion captured characters interacting with one another, in the same was as was done with Avatar with a Gladiator style.

Is this what you were expecting from the film?
