Warcraft Movie: The Rise of the Lich King Coming Soon

About two months ago, Blizzard confirmed Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man, Drag Me To Hell) was to direct Blizzard's upcoming live-action Warcraft film. At that time, we haven’t known who would be the movie's protagonist and a discussion about the ideal cast for Arthas has uprised. Now, the Internet Movie Database updates the title of the first feature film set in the Warcraft universe to Warcraft: The Rise of the Lich King. So there is no doubt that the vast Azeroth time line in the movie will focus on Arthas’s growth and his changes.
