Warcraft Movie Details, Including the New Title
Newsinfilm.com (http://www.newsinfilm.com/2009/10/06/warcraft-movie-details-including-the-new-title/) reported an interesting change to the IMDB page of the Warcraft movie ... it's now called Warcraft: The Rise of the Lich King (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0803096/).
Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have updated the IMDB page for the upcoming Warcraft movie. The title now reads Warcraft: The Rise of the Lich King and a tentative release of 2011 (likely during the summer). As announced in July (http://www.newsinfilm.com/?p=19006), Sam Raimi will be directing the feature film based on the 15-year-old video game franchise.
Right away the subtitle is an obvious reference to the most recent World of Warcraft expansion released in November 2008 titled “Wrath of the Lich King.” It was (and still is) the fastest selling computer game of all time, setting the record at 2.8 million copies in the first 24 hours.
Speculation has begun that it could also be linked to the best-selling Christie Golden novel bearing the same subtitle. The book draws heavily from the lore established in Warcraft III and its Frozen Throne expansion pack and tells the story of Arthas Menethil from age 10.
