With questions of who will be cast in the upcoming live-action adaptation of Warcraft, its been reported that Phonebooth and Alexander star Colin Farrell has been made an offer to star in the movie.

Legendary Pictures and Atlas Entertainment have allegedly contacted Farrell, but are not sure that Farrell is going to make a deal, with sources saying it’s “50/50”.

Paula Patton (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, 2 Guns) is also reportedly up to star in the film.

Hollywood director Duncan Jones is at the helm of the project, and is best known for his directorial work on Moon and Source Code.

Legendary Pictures have handled other big-scale films, such as The Dark Knight Rises and is also financing the upcoming Godzilla reboot.

The script is being penned by Charles Leavitt (Blood Diamond, The Express), but is being kept under wraps as to which WarCraft story it could be inspired from.

Can Jones actually make WarCraft into a great movie? Let us know what you think.
