The world of Warcraft is a massive one. The franchise started out as a real-time strategy (RTS) game back in 1994, and spawned not just another two RTS games, but also World Of Warcraft (WOW) – the hugely popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that boasted more than 12 million players at its peak. And we haven’t even gotten to the scores of merchandise, novels, toys, card games and other Warcraft tie-ins out there. Heck, there was even a South Park episode called Make Love, Not Warcraft that actually won an Emmy award.
The point is, the fact that Duncan Jones even managed to make a movie based on such a sprawling franchise with millions of characters is already a commendable feat.
