There was a Cid, or as they spelled it, Sid, though.

I hope the studio can make the movie work, Warcraft world is pretty difficult to "bring alive" as it requires lots of CGI. But considering we already have movies like FF: Advent Children and LotR, perhaps all the CGI will look "alive". It is very understandable that Blizzard won't be making this movie by themselves with full CGI, I don't think they have the resources to produce and publish a full lenght movie. It would've been a financial disaster to Blizzard to make a full lenght CGI movie by themselves. Can't wait to see night-elf hotties on the big screen.

In FF Movie Chocobos can be seen in two different spots. Once on a man's briefcase and another time on Aki's pajamas. Yes, there are a few cameos (that a few people notice), but it's not like people said "Oh yeah, a guy named Cid like in FF7 is there, I am going to see that movie", Square Pictures looses about U$s 100 Million, it is useless, SquareSoft is famous not only for FF, they have some other series, if they wanted an alternate universe they could have choose a different a name...

I hope Warcraft movie goes about more than orcs and humans and other races fightning because they feel hate for some unknown reason, the Warcraft III storyline goes well, though it is unfinished...

These pics are from FFVIII (1999), they remember me to some of Warcraft III in-game models:

If they said it was a full length CGI movie in the style of the cinematics, I wouldn't be worried.

However a live action move...

Let's see it'll be some generic adventure with a pretty much all human cast (oh a Dwarf too!).

As opposed to something that could have been original like say a group of Argent Dawn people hunting down Arthas... and losing?

Think rehash of the Dungeons and Dragons movie.

[Shadow0000]

You mean Dungeon & Dragons Movie (2000) or the computer animated motion picture entitled Scourge of Worlds: A Dungeons & Dragons Adventure (2003) ?

The one with Jeremy Irons slumming it .

The D&D movie is probably the finest proof that the quality of the source material is absolutely no indication of the quality of the final movie. D&D has over 20 years worth of source material on which to base a movie and yet them managed to come out with a storyline so poor that most people who play the game could have beaten it.

[Mefustae]

It's one of those major conundrums as to why in the hell Jeremy Irons took that job. Seriously, he rocks almost as hard as Sean Bean, but there he was hamming it up with the rest of those no-talent hacks.

[Ferret]

Why does everyone hate on Spirits Within so much? The name aside I think it's an absolutely brilliant film. The story was great, the action scenes were second to none and the ending makes me cry sometimes. T_T

Note: I hate the FF franchise but that's another story.

Yes, if only he would follow his aforementioned counterpart's example and star in such artistic triumphs as National Treasure, The Island, and Silent Hill.

National Treasure and Silent Hill... well, you've got me there. But hey, The Island wasn't too bad, definitely one of the better action-movies of the year. Considering it was directed by Michael Bay, it could have been a lot worse.

[Knight Templar]

If Blizz made a CGI movie, their devs wouldn't have enough time to buff Shaman every patch.

A few better than average setpieces in an uninspired, corny, half-baked sci-fi story, do not a good film make.

Regarding Warcraft, I think, if they try to make a generic adventure out of it, that it will fail miserably. We've had LotR already, and I doubt that people want to see a rehash of it. No, the fanbase for the universe is huge worldwide, which is why they can probably afford to make a film around the events in the games. Perhaps some of the less documented events like the Night Elves' war against Sargeras or something.
