We were up in the air with a lost director when last we reported on Legendary Pictures and Atlas Entertainment’s movie adaptation of Warcraft based on the popular game World of Warcraft. Now with Duncan Jones (director of Moon and Source Code) on board and filming set to begin in January, it’s time to start hearing about possible casting.

In various stages of negotiations according to Deadline are (left to right, top then bottom) Paul Dano (Looper), Travis Fimmel (Vikings), Anson Mount (Hell on Wheels), Anton Yelchin (Star Trek Into Darkness), Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol), and Colin Farrell (Total Recall).

We will be sure to keep you posted on the latest for Warcraft.
