Legendary Pictures is already handling of another very anticipated Blizzard project: a World of Warcraft film. Recently, under the “Coming Soon” section, the production company lists another popular video game based film: Diablo.
In 2001, Blizzard successfully filed an injunction against New Line Cinema, demanding the Warner Bros. subsidiary cease its usage of the word "Diablo" as the title of one of its films. At the time, Blizzard substantiated its suit by claiming that it had its own Diablo-related film in the works. New Line released its own work as A Man Apart in 2003.
After successful titles like Frank Miller's 300 or Batman Begins that came from Legendary Pictures, Blizzard fans can only hope that both “World of Warcraft” and “Diablo” movies will be a big hit.
