had a chat with Blizzard, they heard that the WarCraft movie is still in story-development phase, and when asked about the possibility of a StarCraft movie, Rob Pardo, EVP of Game Design at Blizzard, said that they would only be interested if someone like James Cameron would sign up for it.
With the success of "StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty" it certainly makes you wonder whether other Blizzard franchises might make it to the silver screen. Pardo said that the company has always wanted to go this route with its franchises, but that they really need to find the right production team for project.
"We've always had an interest in seeing our stuff on film or TV. It's just tricky to find the right partners. We probably could have made a ['StarCraft'] movie or something on TV years and years ago, but it's really important to us that we find creative people that are really talented but also really excited about our properties. That's always been the challenge for us. I think if Jim Cameron came to us tomorrow and said, 'You want to make a 'StarCraft' movie?' we'd probably sign that."
