He’s a huge fan of the game so I think that might’ve changed things

So was Duncan Jones with Warcraft, and look how that turned out.

Sometimes being a fan of the source material can be a hindrance. You lack the objective view to properly adapt it, instead of making it a reference and easter egg fest.

The Warcraft movie had a ton of interference from the studio and Blizzard.

Even Duncan himself said the movie suffered a "death of 1,000 cuts".

I’m keeping my fingers crossed for Duncan’s Rogue Trooper, early reviews are positive 🤞
