Blizzard Says No To Uwe Boll

April 22, 2008 6:00 AM

An MTV Movie Blog post recently revealed Blizzard Entertainment’s reaction to a demand by infamous film director Uwe Boll to adapt World of Warcraft into movie structure. According to Boll, Blizzard’s Paul Sams emphasized the company’s specific disinterest in having him purchase the movie rights.


But whether you’re not going to compose a faithful adaptation, why manufacture an adaptation at all? Apparently, the folks by at Blizzard wonder the same thing, since they practically laughed Boll out of their offices when he approached them about making a World
of Warcraft adaptation, the director confessed.

“I got in contact with Paul Sams of Blizzard, and he said, ‘We will not sell the movie rights, not to you…especially not to you,’” Boll revealed. “Because it’s such a big online game success, perhaps a poor movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it.”
