Duncan Jones will make a $100m plus World of Warcraft movie for Blizzard. Jones’ first movie, Moon, cost $5m and was very good. His second was Source Code, which featured Jack Gyllenhaal and cost $32, which met with mixed reactions. Warcraft’s 10 million subscribers mean Jones’ budget is about $10 per player. The Warcraft Facebook […]

As a bonus, any Timelord might be pleased to know that they star chart […]

The artic wastelands look just as hopeless as deep space. The game is due out in February; the US first and […]
