umm i just really hope this movie is about the history and lore of the world of warftact
I i wll wait and standing still for this awesome movie! Blizzard good luck!
Ayrakus Inc.

I CAN’T WAIT FOR 1 YEAR!!!! PLZ!!!!!!
BTW when the movie come to cinema i will where clothes of druid ! (i will make them) and go to cinema as a my druid in wow! I WILL BE REAL DRUID!!!!!!!
))))))))))))))))
I can’t wait for this movie to come out. I just hope they don’t screw it up but I doubt if they would.
Hey, ain’t Teldrassil a giant tree ’stump’ in World of Warcraft? I’m a little rusty on Night Elf lore, so..if somthing happened to make Teldrassil go from tree too stump..would apperiate it if you filled me in
Other than that, i can’t wait for this movie. If its made by the same people that made ‘300′ then its GOT to be damn good.
OMG!! So awesome! I am so excited! I just hope it’s half as good as the games are…
Well This is a great idead lets just they dont screw it up.
but the picture looks a little odd to me. looks like something in LOTR.
I think that they should use popluar known actors, good actors, IE arnold Swartznigger, Kevin Bacon, Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Jason Statham, Morgan Freeman, Bruce Willis, Tom Sizemore , Tom Hanks, David Morse, Michael Clarke Duncan, these actors are some of the finest actors, don’t forget the female actors, i didn’t include them, but i just threw in some good names for an example..
I think having big name actors, would increase the box office sales, Yeah money is good, how ever would also make the movie that much more better, these big name actors are not big names for nothing , they all make great movies that you just never seem to forget..
this is my opnion..
picture looks like something from LOTR. but other then that great. cant wait 4 the movie to come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Looks awesome, good luck with the movie. That more it takes that better it gotta be, or so.
like it’ll ever happen, i mean c’mon rofl
don you are the biggest tard ever. ’swartznigger’?! wtf are you on about, l2spell. the only people out of that list of actors that can act for shit are Freeman and Hanks, the rest are sorry excuses for actors. Tom Sizemore? He plays the fat guy in a couple of war movies, you want him to be in the Warcraft movie? Keanu Reeves… he can only do one expression. Don’t think for one second that the Matrix was a hit because of his intense character portrayal. i think you need to educate yourself a little more when it comes to what qualifies as good acting and what the recipe is for a good movie. i’m sure legendary and blizz will do just fine without your opinion.
Where is Archmond’s corpse? (I think that’s how you spell his name)
looks a bit like “Melee Island” from Monkey Island 1 :>
Where’s Archimondes body?!?!
Last time i checked Archimonde died right there in his giant form ( Kil ‘Jaden and Archimonde have the ability to go from HUGE to Normal )
and his body was there…
Well then again the wisps and all could’ve destroyed his skeleton…
If not then…BIG mistake Blizzard
Please, make it of the history and lore of Warcraft.
The lore after WC2 and before WC3 is kinda foggy to me. :S I’d love to clear my vision about that 
“Where is Archmond’s corpse? (I think that’s how you spell his name”
Wrong tree… This is the new worldtree, the corpse is still with the old one, but it did explode, so probably not much left anyway…
FINALLY a realistic view of Teldrassil
the house at the very bottom to the right a bit? thats rut’theran village. the only building in the game is that one

Teldrassil is a giant tree, but in order to save on space they made it shaped like a stump in WoW.
if it was really to size, it would be much bigger. the island that it sits on is the size of the tree trunk. with all the branches reaching out, some might even reach halfway to auberdine.
they could just make the trunk smaller, but then the “tree” would have a completely flat top with other trees growing off it like a nurse log, which isn’t very common when the tree is still alive.
also, it was a good idea to have such a huge trunk to create an awe-inspiring view for people first coming to teldrassil, but i think this image would look even cooler. imagine having more to do once you get to the bottom of teldrassil other than just taking a boat. an entire new quest area.
caudarax, archimonde is at the bottom of nordrassil, that is the tree that came before this and is landlocked, see the docks in the bottom of the picture?

When Hyjal was destroyed, a piece of its root was set off the coast of northern Kalimdor in creation of a new world tree; this being named Teldrassil. Due to a hasty decision after the third war, it was planted in fear of losing night elf immortality forever. The tree is exactly like Hyjal but unlike it, Teldrassil harbors a dark quality to it.
On another note. I’m stoked – can’t wait!! This movie is like waiting for the Baron’s mount….
Beautiful. I wish you could get a look at Teldrassil like that in WoW – you really can’t see it the way it’s rendered.
It looks like a stump in WoW, yes, but it’s supposed to be a massive tree – my guess is that they didn’t have the resources to make it look the way they wanted to.
And Archimonde* died on Nordrassil, the original world tree, which is at the top of Mount Hyjal (currently off limits in game, unless you reach it through the caverns of time). This is Teldrassil, which the Night Elves planted after Archimonde’s death in an attempt to replace the dying Nordrassil.
I hear Chris Metzen is working really closely with the scriptwriters and everything with this, but last I heard we still don’t have a director. I ALSO heard that they were trying to get Peter Jackson (He may be ponderous, but I wouldn’t mind seeing more movies from him). Fingers crossed?
At least we don’t have Uwe Boll.
I can’t wait for this Movie.
Interesting artwork.
Considering the budget, the short time for it to be done, and the background of Legendary Pictures, this movie should be a succes as a comercial movie. The type of movie that you see once, you say it’s cool and everyobe talks about it for 2 or 3 mounths after. Pretty much like “300″ and “10.000 BC”!
Don’t except to much from this film, expecially when the orcs are left out of the story.
One thing i do have to prey, is that this jackasses don’t screw out Diablo too. That movie means to much for me to let them mess it up, and make just another 90min. flaw!
Great picture. but why there are 2 human in the boat ?
I can’t wait for this movie.. After I watch some movie clips from warcraft.. I got more excited. especially on the part where Ilidan(not sure of the spelling) making some spells and calls out slardars.. and the part of Arthras(not sure of the spelling) as well.. BTW. the picture is nice..
knowing the release year, is terrible for me i can’t wait
don, your not getting a role. stop
Wtf we get a shot of the tree then we can’t even visit the tree in game sounds pretty lame to me.
U guys havn’t even seen a trailor or any kind of a vid that verifys the making of Warcraft movie. U’ve seen only 1 pic, and that’s not enough to say “Can’t wait.. or looks awesome bla bla shit.
For those of you asking where Archimonde is, please do more research.
This is TELDRASSIL, not NORDRASSIL. Teldrassil is much bigger than Nordrassil and that is why there is enough room for the elves to live on it.
If you go to Hyjal, you would see Archimonde’s skull, ribs, and shoulder armor still on Nordrassil.
Teldrassil was made for an attempt for the night elves to get their immortality back after they sacrificed the forest on Hyjal to kill Archimonde.
omg this is gonna be freaking awesome and the funny thing is for the past 3-4 years i have been posting comments on every official blizzard/warcraft forum that there should totaly be a movie and when i got w3 i nearly craped my pants when i saw the cinematic video and i said to myself they got to make a movie ok well peace out
oh and p.s. on wow my name is gutar on server bronzebeard if anyone is on the same server ok well seeya
It better not be real time .. Hopin for CGI !!!!!!!
I am gonna pay for firs time for Movie
WORLD OF WARCRAFT SUCKS!!!
Sorry ‘blah’ but im afraid you suck :p you have to use a website on which we comment a nice picture to note that you don’tlike world of warcraft….shutup and go back to playing Runescape and leave the awesome games to the big boys/girls
Автор, а скажите а куда написать по поводу обмена ссылок (на какое мыло)?
1rxutriwodvw5yxv
Автор, посты у вас, конечно, интересные. Но вы не подумывали поменять дизайн?
hey guys this is original image of Teldrassil, home of Night Elfs, and name Teldrassil means Crown of the Earth, Archimonde died a Nordrassil, it means World Tree. In WoW Teldrassil not look like on this picture because it could not be good place for playing
the horde better no be the bad guys in this film
Making the movie from an alliance point of view will piss alot of people off. Alliance FTL like Cameron said don’t make the Horde bad guys, they will lose alot of viewers
from the concept art it is clearly set in outlands but with woltk release i wonder where it could be set…
“I think that they should use popluar known actors, good actors, IE arnold Swartznigger, Kevin Bacon, Keanu Reeves…..”
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, why even list any more, your top three are so damn good!!!
I don’t play game cause they take up alot of time but I do have time for a good movie after work. Either cinematiom or animation, this flick would be an award winner in any category. Come on people, for movie go’ers, just do the right thing!!!
Давно искал эту инфу, Спасибочки за Вашу работу.
За статью спасибочки, все по делу, достаточно много кто это уже использует
Dude this movie is gonna rock!! xD
I just hope that it has all the char’s. in it.
Also hope it will go back to when the war started and all that. =P It would kick @ss to see all the action in it.
Hmmm…. Also hopping they’ll use “ALL” the right actor for “ALL” the voices. =/
Oh well anyways this movie is gonna dominate!!!
Just hopping they’d play it in Malco theater’s, its a long ways from my home town. =( (Lives in Cassville Missouri)
OMG!!! I want to be in the movie! I’m an actress and I play WoW. They should hire me. : )
Lunaalexis, as if they would just see a random comment on a website and hire you…they are looking for people who have the feeling and air to them that give them that divine feel. People like that and those who have an intimidating/bloodthirsty look, rugged and tough people, people with a calm, natural feel, and the energetically nice guys.
Here is what I’ve got. Five different kinds of people. They can be combined and stuff. No offense, but I highly believe they will search for well-known actors/actresses.
*cough*
Human – Divine, powerful
Dwarf – Rugged, more serious than playful
Night Elf – Calm, natural
Gnome – Friendly
Draenei – Intimidating (not bloodthirsty)
–
Orc – Intimidating (kind of bloodthirsty, but mainly vengeance)
Forsaken – Divine, yet somewhat rugged
Tauren – SHAMANISTIC ALL THE WAY! (I love Tauren)
Troll – Friendly…of course!
Blood Elf – …I suppose friendly, divine, or bloodthirsty could all work
–
I know that the movie will take place before World of Warcraft actually begins, but they may or may not have those guys.
Anyways…really off topic, huh? Anyways, I hope they make all the scenes look tis porcelain and deep. Really, it’s beautiful. I prefer the home of the Night Elves with Stormwind’s song, but without the music it will seem even more graceful.
Sorry for being so…long about my comment, I just can’t wait to see who would be able to capture the intensity of all the leaders (especially Lady Sylvanas Windrunner and, God, please make her look like she’s actually a blood elf, not a night elf)
Can’t wait to see the movie,
The Main Antagonist is Sargeras (evil god who created the evil guys that come from the Twisting Nether)
Damn… have they even said anything about the movie since blizzcon 2007? if they haven’t… it might be starcraft ghost all over again
About actors.. I dont hope they use someone to popularly..
Would be very annoying to see Tom Hanks as a Human Paladin :S
I hope they will use same music as for now, when we in the movie enter Stormwind, they should play Stormwind music.
Perhaps the Orc are not in this movie… but they can always make a World Of Warcraft 2 =) ….. and 3 and 4 ….
