I was just scuttling about on dogpile looking for Diablo 3 info, when I stumbled upon (*cliche* :doh )

This may be old news, but I dont see anything about it here (possibly because all the latest posts were deleted
)
But anyway if you dont want to check out that site, I'll bring out the important for you (by the way, this is an interview between Mike Morhaime (Blizzard's president) and Dean Takahashi):
Q: Are you going to do a movie with the Warcraft universe?
A: Yes, we are. It’s something we have been wanting to do from the beginning. We have always thought the universe was rich enough to make a great movie. Really we are taking a time to find a great partner. Anyone who has seen movies based on games knows that it’s pretty easy to have them come out not right. We wanted to have a partner with the same vision of how epic and cool this could really be. We are thrilled to have found Legendary. They share a lot of our philosophies. They don’t do a lot of projects. They try to make sure that the projects they take on are really big. Batman Begins is a great example where you had a series of Batman movies. A lot of people agree that it’s by far the best Batman movie. They are really excited. They are going to put some serious resources behind it.
