We haven’t talked much about Warcraft around here, because, well, there hasn’t been much to say. Last I heard, Sam Raimi was at the helm, but apparently he’s been replaced by Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code), which has me officially interested. Anyway, yesterday at BlizzCon the cast was announced, and although plot details are being kept vague – obviously, it’s 2014 and everything has to be a secret now – it was confirmed that the cast will be split between the Alliance and the Horde. As far as “announcements” go, that’s like saying the cast of Star Wars will be split between Imperials and Rebels.
Alliance
Travis Fimmel (Vikings) as Anduin Lothar
Dominic Cooper (Need for Speed) as King Llane Wrynn
Ben Foster (Lone Survivor) as Medivh
Ben Schnetzer (The Book Thief) as Khadgar
Ruth Negga (World War Z)as Lady Taria
Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol) as Garona
Horde
Toby Kebbell (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) as Durotan
Rob Kazinsky (Pacific Rim) as Orgrim
Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption) as Blackhand
Daniel Wu (The Man With the Iron Fists) as Gul’Dan
All told, a pretty solid cast. Anything involving Ben Foster and Clancy Brown gets the benefit of the doubt from me. Thanks to the Huffington Post for the heads up.

LOL at “Fight for the Horde.” Like there’s more than a 0% chance the Horde will emerge victorious.
