Through the process of development, the scene just didn't fit in the movie anymore. What we liked about that scene is it really helped show their history. I mean, you see the toll of what was taken on them over the years, and they're not as close as they used to be, but there's clearly a history there. The movie definitely deals with events that happens 15 years after. What we always like about that scene was it always showed who those characters were when they were friends. The bit that's in the comic, where young Llane, Lothar and Medivh go into the troll warlord's lair and the troll warlord is messing around with fel magic. One of the earlier drafts of the script had a scene that was very much like a Raiders of the Lost Ark opening. Can you talk a bit about where in this process of development, pre-production and production that the idea for this graphic novel came up? So I know the movie has been in the works for quite some time, and they spent nearly two years in post-production alone. Did it prime you for the film? Are you excited?Ībsolutely. I'm really looking forward to the movie now. I'm glad I got a chance to read this and get some more insight. I'm actually seeing the movie a few days before it comes out. I recently had the chance to speak with James Waugh, Director of Story & Creative Development for Blizzard Entertainment, the company that developed this monstrous video game franchise.

the kind of heroes Azeroth will need in its darkest hour. In a fantasy action epic set decades before the film, the young and headstrong Llane, Lothar, and Medivh embark on a mission of vengeance that will forge them into heroes. Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood shows how three of Azeroth's greatest champions forged their first alliance. Before this massive adventure comes to the big screen, fans can get even more insight into the story with a new graphic novel, Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood, debuting June 7, which serves as the official prequel to this upcoming movie. Even if you're just vaguely familiar with the game, you'll certainly know that it's set in an expansive universe that has captivated gamers for over two decades. This weekend, Universal Pictures and Legendary will release their epic video game adaptation Warcraft in theaters.
