Warcraft Director Discusses Potential Sequel In New Interview
The director of the 2016 Warcraft movie adaptation was recently interviewed and the possibility of a sequel was discussed. Bringing the lore of the story to a live-action moving brought a mix bag of reviews among the critics. Some thought the story of Durotan and Anduin Lothar in action was spot on and well told, while others believed it was not worth seeing. No matter the thoughts of the critics, fans of the lore went and saw their favorite game franchise in action. The Warcraft director Duncan Jones shared his own views on a potential sequel.
Jones spoke with Joblo regarding what came from the Warcraft movie and what the future could bring:
I would love to and it’s such a weird one, WARCRAFT. I mean, I think it has the highest divergency between fan ratings and critical ratings of any movie. But it really did. It has this really weird split, and then obviously, the financial side in the US was not what it needed to be, but it did do great internationally. So it’s such a unique case. It’s a truly unique case. No one really knows why or if a sequel will get made at this point. And I think no one is kind of ready to pull the trigger one way or the other. One of the things you’ll probably notice or be aware of with the studios is, it’s very easy to say no to things. It’s very hard to say yes because that’s when you get fired. You don’t get fired for saying no. You get fired to saying yes. And with a WARCRAFT sequel, no one wants to pull the trigger.
So we’ll see. We’ll see what happens. Maybe at some point, someone will say, “You know what? It made so much money in China. Let’s just make it.” And assume that the international is what’s gonna make it successful, but I’m still waiting. I’m hoping they do it.
From this fan who played the strategy games and many years of World of Warcraft, another movie would be a welcome sight. To see the lore in action is a real treat for such a detailed story. We hope the Warcraft director is right about being patient and seeing what happens.
