Speaking at the launch of the recent World of Warcraft expansion last week, Blizzard representative Frank Pearce revealed that they are currently seeking writers for the long-in-development Warcraft movie.

"Legendary Pictures is currently trying to assign some names to write the screenplay and find someone to direct it, so it’s still really early in production,” said Pearce. “They want to make sure they get the right talent for those different parts, especially the screenwriting because that’s the foundation for the movie.”

Pearce was asked whether the movie would be CG-animated (like the games) or live-action. While he did not give any direct answer, he pointed out that it takes a long time for the “brief amount of footage that we create for the game”, adding that it’s about the “quantity of work” which is the important factor.
