Metzen Discusses Warcraft Movie and Heart of Swarm
Chris Metzen the creative mind behind Blizzards ever popular franchises met up with VG247 to discuss the WoW movie and Heart of Swarm amongst other things. Discussing Starcraft II, Metzen mentions how they have the overhead all planned out for Heart of Swarm but the missions are not being worked on yet because they are still trying to crank out Wings of Liberty. They are still spending the time trying to develop the story and gather ideas for the cinematic scenes. Heart of the Swarm will be the second installment of Starcraft II and will focus around the Zerg and and the main character of the chapter will be Kerrigan.
When discussing the movie, Metzen says that they are still meeting with director Sam Raimi about putting ideas together on “what kind of story we want to tell, what do we want people to feel, what is the best way to look at this big franchise.” It seems like a lot of thought process is going into the WoW movie, but yet nothing has yet be decided upon. Metzen talks about the conflict of how to go about making the movie remain true to the games but that the core experience would still remain on the game side. By saying “Oh, I get it that matches my expectations when I played”, Metzen wants fans to gain a certain feel from the movie through camera angles and other aspects that remind them of actually playing the game. The movie is still far from production and hopefully once the Hollywood side of production gets going the movie will become a real reality and that it won’t just become a big hyped up blockbuster failure.
