“Warcraft” is another ambitious project for Legendary, which also brought Guillermo del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” to the big screen. The fantasy film follows orcs, dragons, zombies, werewolves and elves in a medieval-like setting.
Jones (“Source Code”) will direct “Warcraft” from a script by Charles Leavitt. Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are producing with Atlas Entertainment’s Charles Roven and Alex Gartner.
Production will start next month in Vancouver, and Universal will release the movie on March 11, 2016.
