Raimi to Direct Warcraft

[Jul 22, 2009, 09:38 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Blizzard Entertainment announces Sam Raimi has signed to direct the upcoming Warcraft movie. We can only hope it's the heroic red and blue Sam from Spider-Man 1 & 2, and not the evil black-suited Sam from Spidey 3. Anyway, word is: "Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have a shared vision for this film and we searched at length to find the very best director to bring that vision to life," said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment. "From our first conversation with Sam, we could tell he was the perfect choice. Sam knows how to simultaneously satisfy the enthusiasts and the mainstream audience that might be experiencing that content for the first time. We're looking forward to working with him to achieve that here."

On topic this makes me wonder what the movie will be about. Three hours of talking to quest NPCs and killing pigs. Perhaps Three hours of trying to get 25 people together and on vent to take down a raid boss.

Funny. I hated WoW because this was pretty much my experience. The game was beautiful and environment well crafted but, to me, it was some of the most boring gameplay I've ever experienced.

The biggest issue with your post is that this is how producers used to approach video game movies. "This happened in the game, let's put it in the movie!" You end up with the Mortal Kombat actors flip-jumping instead of walking.
The way to make a good video game movie is to be true to the world, not the gameplay. And you HAVE to be true to the world, when you make changes you end up with stupidity like the RE movies.
