    Universal and Legendary Pictures have announced that their movie based on Blizzard’s Warcraft franchise will be released on December 15, 2013. The movie is being directed by Moon and Source Code director Duncan Jones. Casting has begun with rumors that Colin Farrell, Paula Patton and Anton Yelchin have been approached for lead roles with Anson Mount from Hell on Wheels up for a role as well.

    Warcraft will certainly have a battle when it opens. Star Wars Episode VII is expected to release in December 2015 as well. As loved as Warcraft is, if the movies open close together, it may be a losing battle going against Star Wars.

    Duncan Jones, director of Moon, Source Code and sometimes son of David Bowie, has taken on the massive job of bringing World of Warcraft to the big screen. The script was originally written by Robert Robat, who penned Saving Private Ryan. Charles Leavitt (Blood Diamond) has been brought on to rewrite the script.

    Sam Raimi was supposed to direct the film, but had to drop out after multiple delays. Raimi moved on to direct Oz, The Great and Powerful with Oscar nominated stoner James Franco.

    Warcraft fans should be happy with the news. Raimi is a great director but ever since Spider-Man 3….yeah. [amazon_link id=”B002T9H2ME” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Moon[/amazon_link] was one of my favorite sci-fi movies of the past ten years and Jones’ involvement in the project has piqued my interest.
