Duncan Jones is making the jump to big-budget tentpole movies, signing on to direct Warcraft, Legendary Pictures’ live-action adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment’s video game universe.
Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing for Legendary along with Blizzard and Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Alex Gartner.
Taking an almost kitchen-sink approach to fantasy, Warcraft, which has grown to be one of the most popular multiplayer online role-playing games out there, is part fantasy, part science fiction and — depending on the game you’re playing — includes elements such as dragons and orcs, zombies and werewolves, and aliens and spaceships.
Legendary is keeping its script, written by Charles Leavitt, under wraps. The Warner Bros.-based production and finance outfit is eyeing a fall 2013 start and a 2015 release.

I can't tell you how many times I've heard a movie was being made based on a game and... I fucking fall for it every single time... I have that brief moment of 'ohhhh, that could be awesome...' and then reality comes crashing in and you remember how badly every video game movie manages to get fucked up. Even the ones that are decent really should have been far better then they were.
And I just did it again when I read this article... Even worse, I still want to hold out a little hope 
And I love The Rock 
Kidding aside, Metzen is a wicked good designer, one of the all time best (IMO), and I would hope he would feel personally invested to see that it's up to par.
