Blizzard, Legendary, and Warner Bros. announce

of Blizzard's genre-dominating MMORPG.
At the 2006 Electronic Entertainment Expo,
then-Vivendi Games-owned Blizzard Entertainment revealed a World of
Warcraft movie was in the works. Legendary Entertainment, the
production company behind The Dark Knight and the in-development Gears of War film, was the company lucky enough to land the project. At BlizzCon the following year,
Legendary CEO Thomas Tull announced the film would be a live-action
$100 million-budget epic, with a target release date of 2009.
