3) Universal Were (Reportedly) Unhappy Even With One Warcraft
The bad buzz surrounding Warcraft isn’t anything new. In fact, rumblings began over a year ago, when the film was being mysteriously continuously delayed and preview footage from the film nonplussed Comic-Con.
Then came the rumors. It’s rarely positive when a film is in post-production for 20 months, but sometimes that can be down to something as simple as a perfectionist filmmaker just tinkering to get the movie right, or the studio having moved the release date so as not to clash with another major blockbuster.
[zergpaid]With Warcraft, it seems Universal just didn’t know what to do with/didn’t like the movie enough to put it out right away. A leaked report in September of last year revealed that Universal considered Warcraft to be a “problem film,” offering some explanation as to why they kept pushing back the release.
If the studio didn’t even like the one movie, why would they want to make another?
