I can think of only two words to properly describe this:

Epic Fail!

There's been talk of a Warcraft based movie for years now. Just like a Mech Warrior, Mass Effect, Halo, ect, ect. Not anything new.

Seriously though, Guitar Hero was lame from the concept. I would how ever pay to see someone play it while having beer bottles thrown at them, just like at some real concerts!

I would definitely pay to see someone play guitar hero in a packed stadium! It would be awesome, but only if they release an evil power glove controller prior to the start of the tour.

Yeah, I want to watch a douche pretend to play guitar.
Like golf. Fun to play, boring to watch.

Another reality show where talentless shills get on stage and scream "look at me! look at me! I am worthy of your admiration!"

I think I actually lost the will to live after reading this.



Will the WoW movie at least show some of the characters gliding during the different scenes?

What's really great about guitar hero is the authentic click-click-click-click when you strum... err.. press those colored buttons. Seriously though, we've become so lazy we have to create a video game to simulate playing a guitar, when a real guitar isn't that much more expensive and might actually develop some practical skills (and don't give me that hand-eye coordination B.S., everyone plays video games these days you aren't gaining any advantage).

as for guitar hero being turned into a reality show, though i doubt it will work, this country will make or break the silliest of things.

And i second Hope Slayer in saying that the WoW movie isn't anything new, Blizzard has been working on that since before the merger. I dare say that a WoW movie stands a better chance of being a hit than that of Guitar Hero, after all there's nearly 13 million subscribers world wide for that game.

Sadly, the Warcraft movie would likely be entirely Alliance side, focusing 95% on a human male and high elf female, showing no love for anyone else. Draenei? Tauren? Trolls? No one plays any of those, right?

Fail if it ever gets made.

The Starcraft reality show in Korea is working out over there...

Yeah, because playing the guitar is a practical skill for a computer programmer. Gimme a break, it's a fun past time. I blow off an hour or two of my time drinking beer and pretend playing the guitar. Like I could do that with a real guitar. Two hours every couple of weeks and I might be able to play Wild thing after a year of trying.

This really is getting ridiculous. Activision is beating the horse to death only to resurrect it and kill it again. Don't worry though, I'm sure there's still plenty of milking to be done with the "Hero" franchise.

Speculated titles coming in 2010 and 2011:
Flute Hero - Jethro Tull
Keyboard Hero - Yanni
Saxophone Hero - Kenny G
Violin Hero - Yo Yo Ma

and last but not least for those who are willing to keep supporting the "Hero" craze....

Skin Flute Hero - Jenna Jameson

Isn't there already a Guitar Hero concert tour? It is called .... REAL MUSICIANS!

Morons...

I can't seem to figure out how Call of Duty can become a movie ... what we get another Captain Price?

Exactly how the picture shows with Bill Gates... dorks play Guitar Hero. Let's face it, it's for those who can't handle DDR or Karaoke Revolution. I laugh at the monkeys who play the demos at Best Buy.

I attended the 2007 Blizzcon 2 years ago and the Worl of Warcraft movie was announced then. Why is this new news?

Uh, the WoW movie was announced a long, long time ago.

If there is WoW movie it better be made by Blizzard artists because I don't think there's any other CG video artists out there that could pull it off properly

Never played World of Warcraft, but from what I saw from my friends the movie would consist of grinding for lvls, or searching for magic shrooms to make into potions/whatever :-\

I have to agree with the two above me - my first thought was - I heard there was talks of a WoW movie a long time ago.

personally, I think if they just made a movie using the CG they use during the intro's and made a good story out of it that it would rock! I don't understand why almost no one that I can think of off the top of my head, except Final Fantasy has tried this. I'd be all for that! =) (I'm not counting the Beowulf thing but it did show some things that could be done also)

I do not have cable tv as i dumped it over boring to me programs and to many reality shows.

i do like war movies and read alot of war history books so i might not mind a call of duty type movie if they took the time to make it good.

4 words - Star Wars Clone Wars

a very good animated series and movie that shows the way these sci-fi/fable games should be conveyed on film. live action just can't simulate the action well enough yet and it just distracts from otherwise good story telling and animation. and for those that haven't seen any of the latest cartoon movies in HD... the depth and detail they're able to give them is amazing!

WoW movie? this isn't news, it's been floating around forever. What consumer base would even watch such a film? Most WoW gamers are too engrossed in playing to sit and watch a movie about it....
WTB new ideas for movies
Not playing Guitar Hero FTW

The WoW movie idea is an old one, and one that makes utterly zero sense anyway. Having Uwe Boll might actually be an IMPROVEMENT to such a thing; his trend to picking Slavic prostitutes for actresses would likely mitigate how dull it'd be to watch people try to seriously act as if they're IRL instancing for hours on end.

Also, I know I'm a huge Tull nut, but I can't help but be amused at the idea of "Flute Hero." Or at least the idea of including a flute in those toy instrument sets.

OH NOES!

I'll slit my wrists before paying to see guitar hero.
I'd slit someone else' wrist before even going to see it for free.

I don't walk in a section of my school anymore because emos play guitar hero there during break...

I'm down for a Call of Duty movie so long as its a MODERN WARFARE movie. Enough WW2 movies and games!!!!

I could see a WoW and CoD movie.

Either is more than possible, CoD is as easy as making a WW2 movie labeled Call of Duty.

WoW would be no different than making a movie similar to Lord of the Rings. Its got more back story than 90% of the games out there, there's plenty of lore to make a series of movies without any problems.

If we want to watch Guitar Hero we can do it already. I was watching a competition the other day on youtube and Guitar Hero website links. It's crazy what the 'experts' at the game can do. All my GF had to say was: losers!

Anyway, we don't need it on TV, there's already content like this available without the scheduling: Youtube!
