Big fan of the "Warcraft" game series? Well, it seems like millions of folks are, and pretty soon they’ll have a big-screen adaptation to love and/or hate. Either way, it’s a title they’ll be talking about for the next few years.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Blizzard Entertainment Inc. and Legendary Pictures are suiting up for war. The companies are teaming to produce a live-action film based on Blizzard’s award-winning "Warcraft" video games, with Legendary acquiring movie rights to the "Warcraft" universe. The "Warcraft" games debuted in 1994, and the franchise now has four titles in release. "Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness" (1995) won multiple game of the year awards, while "Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos" (2002) broke sales records. The latest game, "World of Warcraft," is one of the most popular multiplayer online role-playing games, with a reported subscription base of more than 6 million. The movie would not follow one of the games but rather be set in the epic fantasy universe, which includes orcs, trolls, elves and the undead."

I looooved the first two Warcraft games, but I refuse to buy "Worlds" because I just know it’ll take over my entire life.
