It’s a Wrap — Warcraft Movie Finishes Filming

by - 10 years ago

Director Duncan Jones announced via his Twitter feed today that the World of Warcraft movie is already done filming:

For those not following the movie madness, filming began in early February. The movie still appears to be good for its March 11, 2016 release on the silver screen.

The movie is a play on the confrontation many fans have come to know and love between orcs and humans (or not, depending on how many times you’ve run the Siege of Orgrimmar raid since its September 2013 release). We encourage readers to check out our summary of the BlizzCon 2013 movie panel for more on the basics.

More recently, Zenstyle highlighted a couple of vague words shared by Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull a short while ago, where Tull said that the crew is “aware of the fact that in the mythology of Warcraft, there are two tribes – two big things to follow.” Additionally, Actor Dominic Cooper previously told CraveOnline that the story would focus on a very “human story” in the face of “savage” circumstances.

As the crew likely readies to begin the post-production process, we’ll keep our fingers crossed for more information.

    With the movie so far away, I am thinking they might go back and film some additional material… although with the story lines Blizzard has game out with their recent games I’m a bit worried…

      If you’re talking about adding material to the movie, from what I understand, very little if any filming is done after the filming stage (production) is done. The script is already concrete, the actors are only hired for the duration of the filming stage, and post-production is really about special effects, sound and voice edits, and prepping the move for release. For an SFX-intensive movie like WoW, this naturally takes the most amount of time (looks like 2 years).

      If you’re talking about filming additional content for some other movie, I really can’t say. I would assume that the move production process is pretty solid and they know they’re only working on one project at a time, but I can’t speak for Legendary.
