There’s word on IMDB.com that David Wenham may play Arthas in Sam Raimi’s World of Warcraft movie. Wenham is from New South Wales, Australia, played Faramir in The Lord of the Rings, and has appeared in Frank Miller’s 300 and in Van Helsing. The origin and accuracy of the rumor have yet to be confirmed.
Not long ago, director Sam Raimi said that screenwriter Gary Whitta was hard at work on the script, and the timing fits right into the overall schedule — which suggests Prince Arthas will very likely be written into the film. Patrick Seitz, who voices Prince Arthas in the game, appeared at the “Armageddon” expo in Melbourne on October 17 and 18 and in Auckland from the 24th to the 26th.
Also, the World of Warcraft movie is expected to be finished in 2011.
