After being told who Voldemort is in Harry Potter:"Oh, that completely forgettable character; I don't waste my time thinking about rubbish. Funny story, did you know Fiennes was arseholed drunk every minute of filming. Likely pissed half his paychecks up the wall." -Michael Gambon (British Film magazine Interview) circa 2012
Being asked about turning down the role of Voldemort:
"So my agent calls me one day and says 'I have this role, it could be huge', just emailed [you] the script, look it over. So I do and not ten pages in I'm laughing so hard I nearly pissed myself. I'm thinking 'what a god-awful character, so vapid, zero screen presence'. I turned it down, figured I'd have to be drunk every scene just to pull through and I was recently out of doing a stint in rehab. Later heard that Fiennes nearly needed a liver transplant from all the drinking he did on set." -Colin Farrell (Rolling Stone interview) circa late 1999

Colin Farrell can see the future. Impressive. 😛

Well now that Abrams has directed one let's just say these two franchises are at the top. Potter was greater at the time when I made the comments but the true objective debater that I am remain open minded when new films take place.
Incorrect, SW has always been above Potter, the financial figures have always supported this 👆
But you've switched over now to SW, about time 👆

This movie looks ****ING TERRIBLE. My god, the Orcs are so bad looking....They really should have just gone full blown CGI or an animated film. You can't do Warcraft live action. Movie is going to tank hard.
There was something like 10million WoW fans/players at the peak, so not sure it will tank, even if it's a turd.
Originally posted by RobtardNo, with the heme parks and what not it was clearly Potter. Now with Abrams releasing a bomb shell the shift will take place. Plus they have a barrage of films coming out. I'm quite amazing and reasonable. I was right then and I'm right today.

Originally posted by CPT Space BombI liked the trailer and am open to this film. It doesn't look great but I'm staying positive. I've also never played wow.

Originally posted by quanchi112The trailer could have worked if they decided to make the humans look silly too. You can't have one faction look cartoony and one faction look normal...it just looks off. Still, if this turns into a franchise it WOULD be pretty awesome to see Illidan and Arthas...

Originally posted by RobtardYou discounted the other figures which is Robtard 101.
Incorrect. Financial figures for the franchises have always proved your claim incorrect. But this is the WoW thread and we're derailing with SW/HP, so have your last word.
I hope this works as the more fantasy the more Sci Fi the better.
Originally posted by KazenjiWarcraft and wow are essentially the same thing. People like to wax poetic about Warcraft rts, but the only reason it wasn't as silly as wow is because it wasn't as mainstream at the time. In other words, exposure made the silliness of the Warcraft IP (in the form of WoW) known to a much wider audience.
No, Its a Warcraft threadand yes there was a Warcraft RTS game which seems to have been forgotten these days.
Getting back to the movie though? It looks awful.

Fair enough....the RTS is more known to me

In what way?....because of the too much CGI?
