I really don't know where to start with that... I'm going to pretend that didn't happen...
Yes, Blizzard is known for their excellence in CGMs... moreso than any other company out there. However, speaking from a programming and designing side, It takes weeks to produce a 10-20 second clip using full renderings at the level that Blizzard does. Based on just that, and an average movie these days is 100-120 minutes long, and an average of 2 weeks per 15 second clip.... not including dubbing, post production, ect ect, you're looking at just over 4 years. That's why they won't do it in-house....
Now, in addition to that, why tell a story you're already telling through an interactive video game? Doesn't that seem a bit redundant? This isn't one of those lah-dee-dah Disney games that are based off of the movie.... this is Blizzard's beloved franchise, Diablo. They wouldn't destroy what they've built up so harshly.
True... usually the Games based on movies suck... look at In the Name of the King, and other game based movies, they all fail and have bad reviews for some reason, so if Blizzard has a 25% Chance and they made a Diablo Movie, it would have that much of a chance to be a Great Movie
But then this begs the question, would one be willing to thoroughly sully a franchise several times over through a known butcher of lore, again and again, across a big screen in plain sight for millions around the world to absorb, for just a slight chance of one successful rendition?
Because there cannot reasonably be something about videogame stories that doesn't fit the screen. There has to be some element people are missing, or several, that need to be understood before videogame-based movies can reach a higher standard. What that is, I don't know, but in the end it's just astory ported from another medium, just as books, old stories, myths and legends.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

That element is Hollywood. Take that particular element away and the potential for a successful translation increases dramatically.
So , I have no doubt in my mind - there is going to be a diablo movie and Starcraft. Diablo first.
Legendary Picture made a slip up and was seen in the under development list but like in last blizzcon , they talked about and revealed about making world of warcraft movie? and im 100% there going to reveal another classic in diablo 3 and talk more about it.
So do you guys think there going to reveal the making of diablo movie?
Well , the film production and game production are completely seperate and blizzard isn't making the Diablo movie , their investing in it but the writers and directors and producers are the ones who are doing the main work.

I think starcraft movie could be the best of these Can't imagine the others to be so good as a movie .)
the movie is in production by legendary pictures and i dont care at all who acts in it as long as they can act but i think it would definitely take away from the movie if they were stars you see in every other movie i mean it would be kind of ridiculous at least imo although it would be hilarious to see adam sandler as diablo but indeed ridiculous

And of course they are making a Warcraft movie. Blizzard has publicly stated it. We all know how secretive Blizzard is, no need to doubt them.

Thandie Newton from Chronicles of Riddick would make a great sorc.
Sean Connery for Cain and Keith Davids voice somewhere in there would be cool.
