Casting Buzz on 'World of Warcraft'

Colin Farrell and Paula Patton are being considered for important roles in the movie adaptation of “World of Warcraft,” a video game set in medieval times, according to reports.

Deadline reported that Patton is “negotiating for a lead role" with Legendary Pictures and Atlas Entertainment, and "another lead has been offered to" Farrell.

Sources told Deadline that the chances of the “Total Recall” actor and “2 Guns” actress striking a deal are 50/50, and so, director Duncan Jones -- best known for directing science fiction films “Moon” and “Source Code” --  is considering other actors for major roles as well.

According to reports, the movie has been in the works since 2006, with Steven Spielberg initially rumored to direct the movie. But, Sam Raimi, who helmed Disney’s fantasy adventure “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” was later roped in for the movie. However, his departure from the movie was announced during Comic-Con 2012.
