A mock-up poster for a movie by René Koiter
A StarCraft movie has often been proposed in some form or another. The purpose of this article is to record such knowledge pertaining to its possibility from official sources.
- Pre-2006, James Waugh tried to have StarCraft optioned as a movie. Chris Metzen was reciprocal to the idea.[1]
- In 2007, Metzen was asked about the possibility of a StarCraft movie. He ventured that if such a work was made, it wouldn't be about Nova.[2]
- In 2010, Rob Pardo commented Blizzard Entertainment could have done a StarCraft movie years ago, and that it's simply a matter of finding the right person for the job. James Cameron would be such a person in his mind.[3] Interest in a possible movie has increased since his comments, but no studio holds the right to a movie, nor have any actors or directors been attached yet.[4]
- In the same year, it was stated that Activision Blizzard considered it "likely" that they would do a movie based on the cinematics of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, essentially porting them to a DVD.[5]
- For Halloween, 2011, René Koiter of the Sons of the Storm created a mock-up movie poster. He admitted it was a joke within the same post, but expressed that "one could dream" in regards to a movie happening.[6]
- In 2015, Activision Blizzard Studios listed the StarCraft setting as one of Blizzard Entertainment's franchises that they could develop a film for.[7]
