It's not until next year when "World of Warcraft" movie hit theaters, but fans are already asking for more plot details.

Director Duncan Jones, who recently had an interview with 2p finally granted the fans wishes as he candidly shared details about the movie adaptation to the hit RPG game.

While insisting on not sharing too much about the storyline of "World of Warcraft," he did give fans an overview on what they could expect in the upcoming film.

"From the moment I first talked to Blizzard, the plan was to start our film with the first time Orcs met Humans," he said when asked to give out more details on the movie.

"First contact! I think that for a world with so much newness to explain, this was a wise choice, especially when so many people in our audience may not know anything about Warcraft... it was important that some of our characters would be seeing the world fresh as well, and that the audience could see the situation through their eyes," Duncan explained after being asked if he'd ever considered telling the story of the Burning Legion's invasion instead of the first Human and Orc conflict."

In addition, Jones assured fans that the upcoming "World of Warcraft" movie plot will delve on the story of both the Orcs and the human and the heroes' dilemma in trying to avoid conflict between the two races.

"A Warcraft film should not be about a good race of humans battling an evil race of Orcs!" He insisted. "Warcraft should be about heroes on both sides trying to avoid a conflict, when villains leave them no choice."

While he did not specifically confirm, Jones hinted that he is aiming to work on a possible sequel, a trilogy even for the "World of Warcraft" after comparing it to the "Lord of the Rings" franchise.

"Peter Jackson did a magnificent job of setting the table: for Tolkein's universe with his first Lord of the Rings film," he explained "I know that my job in this first film is to establish certain characters, places and culture while telling a story that a broad audience can be excited by!"

Adding, "Hopefully, if I have done my job right, people will want to know and see more! There is certainly plenty more to tell! I would love to be part of that process of expanding on the lore that makes up Warcraft, but it will all depend on what you, the audience, think of our first film!"
