"Real gamer" Duncan Jones to helm 2015 Warcraft movie

[Administrator]

Duncan Jones - the British director of well-regarded sci-fi movies Moon and Source Code - has signed on to direct Legendary Pictures' Warcraft film, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Jones, a self-described gamer and son of pop legend David Bowie, all but confirmed the news when he tweeted: "So the gauntlet was thrown down ages ago: Can you make a proper MOVIE of a video game. I've always said it's possible. Got to DO it now!"
Based on Blizzard's vastly popular fantasy game series, the film's due to start shooting this year from a script by Blood Diamond's Charles Leavitt, with a view to a 2015 release, the report says. Legendary originally signed Sam Raimi, director of the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man films, to helm its Warcraft project, but they parted company after Raimi began work on Disney's Wizard of Oz prequel, Oz: The Great and Powerful.
