Hugo Weaving should play Nozdormu.
Angelina Jolie would be Ysera
Cathrine Z would be Alextraza
Chris Evans as Kalecgos
Ving Rames could do Thrall
Morgan Freeman would be Eatrigg
Terry Crews could do Garrosh
Chris Pine could do Varian Wrynn
Will-I-Am would do Vol'jin
Russel Badger would be Baine Bloodhoof
Famke Janssen as Jaina
Lucy Liu as Lady Sylvanas

edit: James Earl Jones is clearly the voice of the Lich King
(with Christian Bale as Arthas)

Stanley Tucci as High Tinker Mekkatorque
Robbie Coltrane as Magni Bronzebeard
Kat Dennings as Moira Thaurissan
...

lol... well, that was fun.

The guy is epic and should be immortalized solely for that voice-over.

I really hope for a live action movie that (obviously) makes heavy use of special effects.

I really think the story will be centered around a human character, regardless what it may be about. Simply for cost effectiveness and ease of production. If not Arthas; Rhonin's side of The War of the Ancients would be an awesome story to see on screen. But I'm a little biased there since I just read that book.

CGI characters who are played by real actors in front of a green screen, think Golem from LotR, would probably be utilized for races that would be almost impossible to create costumes for.

Seriously, I've been following this rumor for 5+ years...I've thought about it from almost every angle. Blizzard cinematic-style CGI would be awesome, but I don't think it would appeal to a wide enough audience...especially with the PG-13/R rating the film would more than likely receive. I think the only way to seriously make money with this is to make a live-action LotR/Hobbit style film.

Where's Bruce Campbell?

I'd boycott if he wasn't in it.

He'd be awesome in any role... I think it would be cool to make him a prominent Forsaken (Army of Darkness flashback), or leader of SI:7.

I think I've seen that...

Or I might be confusing it with the absolutely ATROCIOUS Ecks vs Sever

I watch her a lot on the CBS show Elementary. Good show.

Bruce would have to port over his Autolycus, king of thieves role from Xena.

Idk, I kinda think Lena Headey(sp?) would be a better actress for Lady Sylvanas. First person to pop in my head anyway.

should provide disclaimers for certain types of actresses... just saying. Asa Akira does porn.

Lena Headey would do well at Lady Sylvanas. I'm sure there would be a few good choices... and my list is of archetypes really... I think we'd all prefer newer (less familiar) actors rather than pay for too many big-names... that usually ruins films.

Im not going to post a disclaimer before a comment....and I think a link would be out of the question as well. You either know who I am speaking of or you dont.

Didn't ask for a link. Just a heads up like "porn actress". A small courtesy for those who use this forum because it isn't blocked at work.

Carey Elwes, imo.

But you guys are just casting random characters in Azeroth. Someone generate a list from a specific story, like I did. I'd like to see what you guys think.

The movie (if it's ever made) won't be a huge overview of all the lore. It will probably be an adaptation of a book that's already been written. I chose War of the Ancients book 1: Well of Eternity to make my list. You guys use a novel, or prominent portion of lore to create your own...I think it'd be fun.

nope..this is an adult forum, I think it is reasonable to think most guys here are vaguely aware of porn. So like I said you either know her or you dont..not asking anyone to surf porn at work.

My list followed the lore characters from stories I read. I don't retain any prominent male forsaken, and I just couldn't recall Mathias Shaw's name at the time. He isn't a random character.

Clearly you don't get it, and are too busy insisting "I did nothing wrong and screw you for implying I did".

In a thread filled with recommendations of actors/actresses for WoW lore characters, there will be several names unfamiliar to people (because we all have different movie tastes). Many of us will search names to see why that person was recommended.

So, if you just say "porn star" then those who don't know Asa Akira won't run a search to see who it is you are recommending for the role. I'm not worried about the reader who knows who she is... I'm worried about the one who doesn't... especially since we've done so well (until your post) at keeping it all completely SFW.

I only want to see porn actresses in one type of role, anyway. And to my knowledge I haven't seen any of that type of thing in any Warcraft lore.

Plus they're usually notoriously bad actors.

OK OK enough with the fighting. Lets get back to listing stuff that we'll never see come to light.
