The Warcraft film has found its director, and that man is Sam Raimi who most recently directed Drag Me to Hell. Raimi will start Warcraft once Spider-Man 4 is done.
The film is referred to as just ‘Warcraft’ and not ‘World of Warcraft’, according to official press releases. So I guess that means no big screen ninja-looting, gold selling, or instance wipes?
”Warcraft” is “emblematic of the kind of branded, event films for which our studio is best known,” said Warner Bros’ Jeff Robinov. For now Raimi will be supervising development of the Warcraft film until his Spider-Man 4 flick is done and out the door.
”At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story,” said Raimi. ”I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen.”
As good as you could have hoped for, or is Azeroth fast approaching an uncool disaster?
