The Warcraft movie – slated to be out in 2015, directed by Duncan Jones with filming to start Jan. 2014 has started to put together an actor short list according to Deadline.

The first two on the list are actress Paula Patton (Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, 2 Guns) and actor Colin Farrell (Phone Booth, Total Recall, Alexander). Colin Farrell is said to be 50/50 on striking a deal. Most people seem to believe he might play a role as Varian Wrynn, however, I would like to remind people that it’s been rumored this movie will take place around the same time frame as the Warcraft RTS series first started. That would mean characters like Khadgar, Medivh, and Lothar. People have also tried tying Paula Patton to Jaina Proudmoore but that just seems absurd.

Other actors on the short list include Paul Dano (Looper, Cowboys & Aliens), Travis Fimmel (Vikings TV Series), Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels TV Series), Anton Yelchin (Chekov from the new Star Trek movies).

So far the only one of these actors said to have a leading role would be Colin Farrell if he decides to accept the deal.
