You know, I really hope it’s not live action for a wow movie. The cinematic department at Blizzard is amazing. Each of their game franchises (Diablo, Star Craft, War Craft) all have very shiny cgi cinema scenes and it would be a shame if they didn’t utilize them to the fullest. Give those Pixar and Dreamworks guys a run for their money!
