A bit more than a month after showing off a reveal trailer for the World of Warcraft movie at Comic-Con, Legendary Pictures has locked in a date for filming and set up shop in the studios for the film, Production Weekly reports.

According to a tweet from the film and TV production database company, Legendary recently set-up offices at Canadian Motion Picture Park in Vancouver, British Columbia and plans to begin filming on Jan. 13.

During Comic-Con, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. showed panel attendees a reveal trailer for the movie, titled Warcraft. The live-action short featured a human warrior preparing to go to battle with a hammer-wielding orc.

Duncan Jones is the latest director tapped to help the film. Prior to Jones' involvement, Sam Raimi was set to direct.

1. Hmmmm... Warcraft is still very popular?

I guess so.

I wonder how they would go about this.
I wonder what director they would get... Uwe Bol?

2. Haha!

I got it when it first came out and was addicted but haven't played in almost a year.

Which reminds me I need to cancel or suspend my account as my husband's on my ass as the charge keeps showing up on his Amex account although we pay quarterly.

I'll try and remember to do that today.

3. I've been away from Azeroth night 2 years now.

Maybe more.

4. Yeah, but did you cancel your account?

[Xyzse]

5. I didn't bother

I don't get charged any more for more than 2 years.
Cancel account = Lose characters?

[RiffRandell]

6. Good point.

I'll just suspend it....or not.

[Xyzse]

8. Yep

Mine has been suspended for years.
Maybe I'll check it out, but I have no compulsion to do so.

That's my understanding anyway. Let me look it up.

Yes, they are kept on your account per this forum post.

9. Sorta, yes. Different rules but same idea. Overcome challenges/monsters, get treasure.
