Sam Raimi, the mastermind behind the Spider-Man trilogy, has been announced to direct the upcoming ‘Warcraft’ game-to-movie adaptation. Some of you might be familiar with ‘Warcraft III’ or ‘World of Warcraft’, which take place in the Warcraft universe. The series has a huge storyline, which has spawned numerous video games, novels, and more. Most video games in the series have an expansion of some sort, so you can imagine the magnitude of the epic tales of Azeroth.
Blizzard Entertainment, the people behind ‘Warcraft’, will be working directly with Legendary Pictures to make the film.
“From our first conversation with Sam, we could tell he was the perfect choice,” said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment. “Sam knows how to simultaneously satisfy the enthusiasts and the mainstream audience that might be experiencing that content for the first time.”
I wonder if Raimi is Horde or Alliance…
