Warner Bros. Pictures have acquired the rights to adapt the entire "Warcraft" series by Blizzard Entertainment to the silver screen.
"While the Warcraft franchise has been around for more than a decade, the most recent iteration, the megahit online title World of Warcraft, has transformed the videogame industry.
Unlike most games, where players pay $50 once and play until they're done, more than 6 million people around the world pay $14.99 per month to participate in the multiplayer World of Warcraft online. Within the game they not only team on quests, but often interact and form deep social relationships."
