Duncan Jones recently took over as director of the Warcraft movie. Last week we talked about some of the possible casting choices that were being rumored and filming was set to begin in early 2014 with a possible release in 2015. Now we have an official date the movie will be out according to the Warcraft Twitter account:

We’re pleased to announce that @Legendary Pictures’ WARCRAFT will be released by @UniversalPics on December 18, 2015.

So there you have it – December 18,2015. The Warcraft movie will be a live action movie (not CGI only like some fans were wanting it to be) and some rumors have been saying that the plot will revolve around the 1st or 2nd war, more focused on the old RTS games that pre-date World of Warcraft. It looks like Legendary Pictures has decided to revolve the movie around the Christmas season in 2015 rather than competing with some of the summer blockbusters that will be out in 2015. Those movies include Star Wars 7 and The Avengers 2.
