[dropcap size=small]W[/dropcap]ith the World of Warcraft film ramping up press for its March 2016 release date, the film’s director, Duncan Jones, took a moment during Blizzcon to give the fans some updated info on how production is going. Blizzard ultimately chose Jones for the director’s chair because of his desire to depict the Alliance and the Horde from equal footing, not vilifying one or the other, but portraying each side with understandable motivations for their actions, while most other contenders lacked empathy for the Horde.

A rough cut of the film exists now and Blizzard is pleased with how things are shaping up. The remainder of the work left to be done on the film includes Special FX and additional voice work. Jones made a comment on how ambitious the film is, saying: ‘It’s Avatar and Lord of the Rings at the same time. It’s a big, big movie’.

Here is the list of the cast for the film, clicking on their names will take you to their IMDB to read up on what else they’ve done.

Alliance

Lothar – Travis Fimmel
Medivh – Ben Foster
King Llane – Dominic Cooper
Khadgar – Ben Schnetzer

Horde

Durotan – Toby Kebbell
Gul’dan – Daniel Wu
Orgrim – Rob Kazinsky
Blackhand – Clancy Brown

???

Garona – Paula Patton

A memorable moment from the time on stage included Rob Kazinsky appearing on stage with a giant Doomhammer prop, as well as revealing he’s logged almost 500 days in World of Warcraft, a statement which earned a joke pointed at him, accusing him of ‘slapping his nerd dick on the table’. Those in attendance were invited to watch an extended cut of the movie’s trailer. One attendance described what showed as a ‘…less booby, more overtly magic Game of Thrones‘.
