It’s been a long, bumpy road for Blizzard’s movie adaptation of World of Warcraft. At one point, director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) was attached to the project, only to drop out to work on the new Oz film for Disney. Finally, it looks like progress is being made, with director Duncan Jones (Moon) at the helm, based on the picture released from the set, showing the director reviewing a scene.

Empire magazine has unveiled the first image from the set, and also talks a bit about Jones’ progress on the film, and how he wants to evoke the same style of adventurous spirit as the games do. At BlizzCon last year, Jones said the film will tell an “origin story” of the conflict between humans and orcs, and human character Anduin Lothar and orc Durotan, father of Thrall, will be the focal point. World of Warcraft is slated for a March 11, 2016 release, and features a cast that includes Ben Foster, Paula Patton, Clancy Brown and Dominic Cooper.
