At least according to IMDB, which also sets an approximate release date for 2011. This title gives us an idea that the film will be somehow based on some of the scenes of World of Warcraft: Rise of the Lich King novel by Christie Golden, which contains heavy references to scenes from Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

Christie Golden polished out Arthas showing us a new perspective from the point of view of Arthas. The book allows you to explore his core and soul through his childhood down to the moment he was ordained a paladin of the Order of the Silver Hand, and beyond.  This is the story that could make the difference for the Warcraft film. There were orc and human battles in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, with Uther and Arthas battling the Blackrock Clan.  There was Undead Scourge battles. Night Elves versus Orcs. The trick is how to condense all of that in a multi-million film. Not just a hack and slash battle, but one with a compelling story. The story of a young human prince fighting for his land and for his people. Slowly descending into a path where the ends justify the means.

Christie Golden's novel based on Arthas the Lich King made it twice into the for Hardcover Fiction category within four days after the book hit bookstores.
