Warcraft Cast on WIREDInterview with YouTube Space LAComing Soon InterviewComing Soon

ComingSoon.net: The game has been such a huge part of pop culture over the years. You either played World of Warcraft or knew a friend who did. In finally being able to bring this expansive story that fans have lived through campaigns, what made the characters you decided to feature the best way into the mythology?

Duncan Jones: It was a puzzle-solving job for me in that I knew what the moment of story that we were going to make the movie out of. The orcs coming to Azeroth and how the war began. Because I knew that’s what the timeline was, I kind of knew who the characters needed to be from the lore. So I knew that Durotan would be involved. that Lothar, King Llane, Medivh and Khadgar. These characters kind of existed in this part of the story. So my job was to find ways to find some depth to those characters and create the relationships. How could I add reality to the bare bones of story that exists in the game world?

CS: The film dropped a lot of hints at the past relationships of the characters to one another. In particular, I noticed the allusions Medivh made to being aware of the orcs possibly and having a moment with Garona (Paula Patton). What can you say about making references to the story lines before the film takes place, are they nods for fans of the history?

Jones: I can answer that for most characters except Medivh. When you have a big release like this, sometimes there are things that go which you’re kind of unsure, should go. There are little elements of Medivh which I would have loved to have kept but we didn’t keep. There is more to some of those relationships.

China Pre-Sales RecordsDeadline has reportedWarcraft

Launch estimates for China range from $100-$150M.

Pre-sales are still open; currently Warcraft has the 3rd-highest pre-sales total of all time.

IMAX pre-sales are at $6M, ahead of the pre-sales for Captain America: Civil War.

Warcraft opens in China at the end of high school exams and at the start of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Some of Warcraft's succes in China may come from Daniel Wu's star power--he's a heartthrob in China, although he plays the villain Gul'dan here.

While Warcraft is predicted to have a modest opening in the US, great sales in China increase the likelihood of a sequel and strengthen the power of the international market.
