going to the Art Institute, as a film major, where everyone hated Avatar for its lack of plot, I can agree with alot of these comments. however, you got to think here. as much as I dislike James Cameron, he does what he does right. He knows how to make a blockbuster film, he's a douche, but a douche with a buisness sense.
now think of the end game, what is the goal of a starcraft film.. ideally we, the fanboys, the artists, the escapists, want something true to the narrative, with hopefully a firm foundation of plot mixed with artistic fervor. we can hope for something unique... but do we ever get that? No... we don't.. we rarely ever do. we get too many times a useless, pointless, artless, money sucking, piece of crap. Why? because if you make it shiny and call it art the general public will eat the bullshit.
Blizzard... looking at the big picture, their main income source is WOW. But even so, they are going to want a profit... You would hope that given they have plenty, plenty, PLENTY, of money to afford this kind of venture they would focus less on cliche money making BS tactics and actually give something unique. we can hope.. we can hope.. but with James Cameron at the helm... that would really weaken the chances. unless of course he made enough money from Avatar that he's turned a new leaf and decides to do a movie for the thrill of the movie and not making money... pfft. Cameron is a buisnessman, in fact on set he is known a a major hard ass, I can respect that but I have heard that he is above and beyond a hard ass. he is just a douche. a very, very, hard man to work with. he'll get the movie done ya, but only after he's broken every ounce of artistic soul out of it
