Really, she doesn't. She just shows up for the podcast to lend her "sexy voice" and will put a post up if I brow beat her about it... so I think it's only fair that I steal her thunder and put up a WoW post of my own.
Now, I don't play WoW... never have, and doubt I ever will, but I do find news about video games being turned into [even possibly turned into] movies interesting... so when I found this article [thanks to Kotaku.com you know I had to lend my few cents.
So here's the excerpt from the interview that Empire did with Blizzard Vice President of Development Itzik Ben Bassat that I find interesting:
And while I'm not a huge fan of RPG's in general, I do think that they can be the foundation of good, if not great feature length films. Being based in fantasy doesn't hurt, and can draw that diverse 18-24 audience that Hollywood desperately wants tobone pander to. Personally I'd like to see Final Fantasy VII as a movie, and not a CGI one either. I'd love a live action trilogy of Final movies actually. Wouldn't you?
Now if I could just figure out some way to work Samuel L. Jackson into the flick...

Q:There's a World of Warcraft Movie in the works, do you expect that to enjoy similar success?
A: We've been working on that movie for years! If people only knew how many years we put in to closing this movie deal. We're very happy with our progress though, it was really difficult for us as a company to find some we trusted to work with. With Legendary, well, they did Batman Returns and the new Superman so we knew that was a company we wanted to work with. Bringing Warcraft to the movies is the next step for us, we want to let people bring World of Warcraft into other aspects of their lives. After all, we're competing for people's entertainment time, whether it's listening to music watching TV or going to the cinema. Our goal is to provide the best entertainment out there.
Q: Any news on when we can expect to see the film?
Hollywood has it's own pace but we�re working as hard as we can to push it forwards.
