As nearly everyone in the World...of Warcraft knows that Blizzard and Legendary Pictures want to make a movie adaption of the highly popular MMO World of Warcraft. Two days before the San Diego Comic-Con, Blizzard and Legendary Pictures have announced that Sam Raimi has signed on to direct the upcoming Warcraft movie.

For those who do not know who Sam Raimi is, and shame on you for not knowing, he directed such films as the cult classic Evil Dead and the Spider-Man trilogy, which has broken box-office records around the world and was nominated for five Academy Awards.  He also produced 30 Days Of Night, as well as wrote and directed Drag Me To Hell.  

Raimi stated yesterday in a press release, “At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story. I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen.” With that being said am I able to have a keyboard and mouse to control the characters on screen?

Here's my thing about this: we all know Sam Raimi's work, especially with Spider-Man and Evil Dead, but I want an all Computer Graphic-driven (CG) Warcraft movie and not live action. Blizzard certainly has the technology to make a great CG movie especially with the writing staff that they have. Maybe I should go to the auditions to play a role as part of the Horde so I can kill some Alliance members on the big screen. We will keep you posted as new information about the film is released.  I will hunt down more information about the film when I am at Blizzcon 2009.
