Duncan Jones just signed on to direct. They're aiming to start filming in the fall of 2013 with a 2015 release.
Duncan Jones is making the jump to big-budget tentpole movies, signing on to direct Warcraft, Legendary Pictures' live-action adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment's video game universe.
Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing for Legendary along with Blizzard and Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner.
Taking an almost kitchen-sink approach to fantasy, Warcraft, which has grown to be one of the most popular multiplayer online role-playing games out there, is part fantasy, part science fiction and - depending on the game you're playing - includes elements such as dragons and orcs, zombies and werewolves, and aliens and spaceships.
Legendary is keeping its script, written by Charles Leavitt, under wraps. The Warner Bros.-based production and finance outfit is eyeing a fall 2013 start and a 2015 release.
Jones' producing partner, Stuart Fenegan, will executive produce while Chris Metzen will co-produce for Blizzard.
Warcraft is a big jump up in terms of scope and scale for Jones, the filmmaker son of David Bowie known for his thoughtful sci-fi work.
Jones (CAA, Independent Talent Group, Bloom Hergott) made his feature debut writing and directing 2009's Moon, the well-regarded low-key indie sci-fi drama that starred Sam Rockwell and cost around $1 million to make. He followed that up with Source Code, Summit's 2011 time travel thriller that starred Jake Gyllenhaal and cost around $35 million to make. Warcraft is expected to have a budget north of $100 million.
Roven most recently produced The Dark Knight Rises and is a producer on Man of Steel, both of which involved Legendary. Atlas is in pre-production on David O. Russell's follow-up to Silver Linings Playbook, an untitled project that will star Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner. Production begins this March.
Legendary is prepping for the July 12 release of Guillermo del Toro's monsters vs. mechas tentpole Pacific Rim.

With a budget of 100 million Im thinking it wont be any good. Granted they could do alot with that, but it wouldnt be as epic as people would envision it to be.
They missed that gravy train by a few years. I stopped keeping up with the news on this years ago, but I'm assuming they did a complete rewrite since the Raimi days. The whole ''Non-canon badass dude completely from an Alliance perspective'' sounded really boring.
Any feature film with Chris "What's IP?" Metzen getting a producer nod is going to be fucking cringe-worthy.
I feel like they waited until sub numbers started to peak and fall to give this the thumbs. You'd just be wasting money making it when everyone was playing, now they can get in another 2-3 million subs after its release by offering some bullshit "ZOMG FREE IMAX MOUNT WITH TICKET STUB CODE" bonus that will lure old folks back and new kids in.
Looks like they're trying to revamp the old adage "Strike while the iron is hot" into "Hit the iron for more heat". Ghostcrawler must somehow be involved.
