Universal Reveals Its Sausage Party ‘Warcraft’ Cast

FYI Universal - "WoW" doesn't stand for World of White Guys.

So, Warcraft lurched ever closer to becoming an actual, real movie yesterday when Universal revealed most of the movie's cast, and hoo boy, don't get your hopes up lots of sexy blood elves or sassy lady dwarves. Nope, Universal is planning to throw a good ol' fashioned Azeroth sausage party.

Warcraft will star Ben Foster (the odd redheaded guy you'd probably recognize from tons of stuff like Six Feet Under and 3:10 To Yuma), Travis Fimmel (a dude from Vikings), Toby Kebbell (the "weird" or "nerdy" guy from lots of hunk-fests like Wrath of the Titans), Rob Kazinsky (the guy who confusingly looked just like Charlie Hunnam in Pacific Rim), Dominic Cooper (Tony Stark's dad in Captain America) and yes, exactly one woman - Paula Patton (also the one lady in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol).

Colin Farrell, Paul Dano, Anton Yelchin and Anson Mount are also rumored to be in the movie, but none of them have confirmed, because honestly this party is starting to look pretty lame.

Then again, one Paula Patton makes up for a lot.

Just food for thought Universal - World of Warcraft is the most popular video game amongst women aged 25 - 54, and by various accounts around 30 - 40% of the player base is female. In other news, around a third of WoW players desperately want to hump each other. So yeah, if you really want this movie to be true to the Warcraft universe, I'd invite some more girls to the party and start writing some elvish orgy scenes.

‘Warcraft’ Movie Rumormill – Plot and Script and Characters, Oh My!

San Diego Comic Con brought us a little tease of some of the concept art being put together for the upcoming World of Warcraft flick, although little else in known about Duncan Jones' (Moon) new project. That is, until now. If the folks at Bleeding Cool have done their homework right, it looks like they may have tracked down some details about the film, including some info about the tone, source material and characters. Check out what they put together below.

First and foremost, it looks like Jones and company are going for a fully-fledged fantasy epic film, complete with all the magic and fantastical creatures you could hope for. Not only that, but it seems as if they won't be using the World of Warcraft MMO as their primary source material in building the world. Instead, they're looking toward the old-school Warcraft games (yah know, the ones us old folks used to play).

As far as characters go, Bleeding Cool had this to say about who to expect:

The lead character seems set to be Khadgar, a young consul to the Kirin Tor senate, rulers of the city of Dalaran. ...Khadgar is charged with investigating a series of crimes that have rocked the city, but as we go on, we'll find that his mission leads him into a quest beyond the city walls.

...his mentor, Medivh, a mage and the sworn protector of mankind against demonkind.

...Lothar, The Lion of Azeroth, leader of the King's Army.

And in addition to the typically human protagonists, we shall be getting a healthy dose of orcs (duh), along with elves and dwarves and trolls and all sorts of undead nasties. Sounds like quite the party.

Thanks to BleedingCool for the heads-up.
