Duncan Jones, the director of the "Warcraft" movie has confirmed that a sequel to the game-inspired movie is not far from possible. However, Jones shared that the first movie had some production issues that he would not like to go through again.
The "Warcraft" movie sequel may be directed by Duncan Jones once again but the director has a few conditions before moving along. It seems Jones has learned from the inconveniences that his team encountered while producing the first "Warcraft" film and would like a few changes made before creating a sequel.
Although the first "Warcraft" film was found to be rather disappointing to some fans, it wouldn't be the reason for a sequel not to be made. According to PC Gamer, it was not easy to haul all the game's greatness to the silver screens and it was definitely a bumpy ride. The problems the team encountered during production are what causes Jones to hesitate in creating a sequel.
On Jones' Twitter account, the director expressed that he would love to create another "Warcraft" film, however, it must be "under the right conditions." The tweet was rather vague, and someone had the initiative to ask the director to elaborate on the conditions he was referring to.
Lady luck is on our side, as it seems since Jones replied thus sharing some much-needed insight with regard to the "Warcraft" sequel's chances of ever materializing. According to Jones, he prefers that the sequel would have a lower budget and less "cooks in the kitchen."
As reported by Games Radar, Jones' statement referencing a kitchen points to the fact that licensed films such as "Warcraft" have too many collaborators. It is worth mentioning that not every artist would appreciate having too many hands splashing paint on the canvas, and Jones is definitely one of them.
@cuuixsilver lower budget, less cooks in the kitchen. ;)

Jones' experience in the production of the "Warcraft" film mirrors that of Sam Raimi, the man directing the film before Jones took over. Raimi expressed his disappointment in a statement he made back in 2013.
According to Raimi, they only realized that Blizzard had veto power after Robert (Rodat) finished writing the original screenplay. At that moment, Blizzard expressed their "reservations" about the story they want for the "Warcraft" film which resulted to the team starting over after nine months of writing.
With that statement from Raimi in mind, it seems that Jones also experienced that during the production of the "Warcraft" film and doesn't want it happening again. Hopefully, a compromise can be worked out in order for a new "Warcraft" movie to materialize. Stay tuned to Jobs & Hire for more updates on your favorite movies.
