'Warcraft' Movie Cast Members Revealed: BlizzCon Presentation Names Actors Involved in Film

At the BlizzCon 2014, the Warcraft" movie panel lead by Duncan Jones and Charles Leavitt let out a surprise for fans that were present during the presentation.

Jones started off by talking about his love for the strategy PC game. He further recalled his excitement on working on a movie adaptation of the game, telling the audience that it was Sam Raimi who started the conceptualization of the film project.

He later joined Raimi and, as he said, it took them quite a while to choose the best story line to be implemented in the movie. They ended up choosing the plot that talks about the conflict origin of the Orcs and Humans.
