Earlier this year, Legendary Pictures announced that the popular role-playing game World of Warcraft would be made into a film adaptation. Clearly a bold task to take on, it looks like the company is making sure to get this movie right. Now some brand new rumors about the movie have given us a glimpse at the possible cast. According to a new report, Colin Farrell and Paula Patton are in talks for the fantasy film and are even said to be battling each other!

This is the only new piece of information surrounding this project, which is expected to begin production early 2014.

Mstars covered the World of Warcraft film announcement earlier this year. Here is an excerpt:

"A lot of times what has happened in the past is, studios have said, 'How many people play that game? Okay, then that means they'll probably all go out and buy tickets.' That is an incredibly poor way to make a movie," Tull explained.

"How do you make a video game movie that doesn't suck?" Legendary Pictures head Thomas Tull asked. "You start with that exact question!"

He went on to explain that instead of telling the story of the video game, this film will tell the story of the world within the video game.

"So for us, it's that we don't know how to make a movie out of Warcraft, the video game," he said. "It's the incredible story, the war, and these races, and everything these guys at Blizzard have come up with. They have 100 books, and just this incredibly rich world that they've created."
