The cast of the big-budget, Duncan Jones-directed Warcraft movie sounds as though it’s coming together, according to a recent report at Deadline. Among the stars reportedly in talks to take lead roles are Mission Impossible‘s Paula Patton, Star Trek‘s Anton Yelchin and Bullseye himself, Colin Farrell.
The report says that Farrell has been offered a lead role, but “sources said it’s 50/50” whether he’ll take it. Also on the short list for roles, according to Deadline, are Looper‘s Paul Dano, Vikings‘ Travis Fimmel, Hell on Wheels‘ Anson Mount.
I’m in the camp with those hoping that Ferrell takes the role — I’ve always enjoyed the guy, who managed not just to be the only person having fun in the otherwise dreadful Daredevil but who was so outstanding in one of my favourite movies, In Bruges. I also really liked Paula Patton in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. So, hey, this is all good news!
A bigger question, however, remains: How the heck do you make World of Warcraft into a movie? One way or another, we’re gonna find out.

World of Warcraft the movie? No way, Warcraft on the other hand…
The original Warcraft or Warcraft II story would be an awesome Movie…
Warcraft II would be best as the story of going from Loradaeron to Azeroth and then to the Dark Portal and destroying it, You could have it lead into a second movie the same way that the expansion pack started… but we’ll keep that secret for those that never played…
Colin Farrell as an character in any movie is always a WIN!
He is just devine! Brilliant!
I hope they film in North Queensland, Australia… that would be perfect…
