LOS ANGELES, May 8 — For years, Hollywood has talked about the supposed convergence of films and video games. And for years, the primary results have been low-budget movies based on games, and uninspired games based on films.

On Tuesday, Blizzard Entertainment, a leading game developer, hopes to reverse that trend as it plans to announces a deal with Legendary Pictures, a major Warner Brothers affiliate, to make a big-budget "Lord of the Rings"-style live-action film based on Blizzard's wildly popular Warcraft series.

The Warcraft franchise began with a relatively simple real-time strategy game in 1994, but the latest installment, the online role-playing game World of Warcraft, has become the most successful video game in the world. World of Warcraft now has more than six million paying subscribers and is on track to generate more than $1 billion in subscription revenue this year.
