WarCraft's Duncan Jones Defends CGI Over Twitter

Duncan Jones is certainly one of my favorite directors going at the moment. When he was announced as the director of WarCraft, my interest in the project peaked considerably and as a previous World of WarCraft player, I was already very interested.

One thing that has people worried though, is that the film is supposed to contain large amounts of CGI. Sometimes when worlds are generated in computer, it can look awful. Jones took to Twitter to defend the use of CGI, saying that it's a tool that can be utilised just as well as terribly.

I hear this "CGI in film sucks," mantra again & again. It doesn't. Its a tool like any other. It can be done well & it can be done shit.

The best CGI has you forgetting its CGI, and accepting the visual as whatever it is supposed to be. — Duncan Jones (@ManMadeMoon) February 19, 2015

WarCraft will undoubtedly have huge amounts of CGI in it. That world is just to stylized within the game to not. I honestly think the movie would lose a lot of the game's charm if they took the Lord of the Rings approach of trying to create live action substitutes for all of Azeroth's locations.

Then again, I really liked Oz, The great and Powerful so what do I know?
