Recently, Blizzard Entertainment [finally] installed the massive bronze wolfrider statue at the center of the new headquarters in Irvine, California. The replicas were given to Blizzard employees a couple of years ago, and a very few were seen on eBay for auction. The OCRegister Blizzard Blog has eight exclusive photos showing the installation of the 12-feet tall statue.
This statue was developed by WETA Workshops, a New Zeland-based film special-effects company that has worked with Stephe Spielberg and Peter Jackson and have been involved in films such as Lord of the Rings, King Kong, I, Robot and X-Men 3—to name a few. Personally, I have a feeling WETA Workshops is knee-deep in the development of the World of Warcraft film. But that’s something that hasn’t been confirmed.
Peter Jackson has been contacted in the past in order to make that movie – he confirmed that himself, he knows well the WC universe ( https://themoviecenter.wordpress.com/2006/10/10/17/ ).
So I guess(/hope) you’re right, and that at least his special-effect studio will be part of the project (let’s dream Mr Jackson will be also the director ^^)
