Warcraft Movie!

Blizzard Entertainment - Press Release

Quote from "Blizzard Press Release":
Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and Legendary Pictures announced today that Sam Raimi has signed on to direct the eagerly-anticipated major motion picture based on Blizzard Entertainment??s award-winning Warcraft? universe. Raimi has, in the course of his career, clearly demonstrated a genius for developing and adapting existing fictional universes for mainstream audiences while staying true to the spirit of the original content.
Raimi directed the Spider-Man trilogy, which has broken box-office records around the world and garnered five Academy Award? nominations. Known for his imaginative filmmaking style, richly drawn characters and offbeat humor, Raimi wrote and directed the cult classic, The Evil Dead and produced 30 Days Of Night. He most recently wrote and directed the supernatural thriller, Drag Me To Hell.

"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."

Charles Roven?s producing talents were recently seen with last summer?s blockbuster The Dark Knight, which grossed in excess of " billion, was nominated for eight Academy Awards? and won two. His body of work also includes the widely acclaimed Batman Begins and the sci-fi classic 12 Monkeys. Roven, with Atlas producing partner Alex Gartner, will be producing with Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull, Legendary?s Chief Creative Officer Jon Jashni, Raimi and Raimi?s producing partner Joshua Donen. Raimi?s partner, Robert Tapert, will be an Executive Producer and Blizzard Entertainment?s Senior Vice President of Creative Development, Chris Metzen, a Co-Producer.

Warcraft (2011)

Can anyone say **** YEAH! The blizzard cash cow rolls on :P

was all set to sell out of it a few weeks back in HSX. 'bout time some news about it came out - the stocks for it are finally starting to move again. :)

They got a seriously good director, producer, and story line with years and years worth of lore, surely this movie will be aboslutely epic.

Just imagine how many movies there will be, and that they could possibly make from the complexity of Warcraft story line... lol... They'll be farming money from our pockets years after World of Warcrafts death imo

you fools!

it will beat you mercilessly while yelling that it only does it because it loves you.

i can see it now - the main character will spend the first 2 hours of the movie fishing..

Wonder if it'll have Gold farmers in it... hehe

may they can get keydar to write the script.

no mr bowel im disapointed, :(

he made a farcry movie now dontcha know

oh yer oh yer oh yer! can hear the battle cry's already

woo it's up another $6.89 / share today :D

God dont you guys know anything, the first thing he will have to do is kill some boars to get a liver to get the experience to leave home.

never actually played the game ;P watched my brother-in-law play it once - graphics and lack of physics was too ghey for my liking ;P

Never fear, im sure Uwe will take over ;)

I'm sure this movie will be epic. I'm also sure this movie probably won't actually be released until at least three years after the original release date.

The fact blizzard is so heavily involved can only be a good thing - it will significantly lower the chances of it going the way of Doom - "OK so instead of opening the gates of hell we will have genetic experiments and instead of demons we will have mutants...but we say BFG, Pinky and use a slipgate so that makes it doom still amirite?"
