ACCLAIMED director Sam Raimi has been hired to make a movie based on the role-playing fantasy video game World of Warcraft, entertainment industry press reports said today.
Raimi, best known for directing the trilogy of blockbuster Spider-Man superhero movies as well as classic 1981 horror film The Evil Dead, will shoot the film after completing work on Spider-Man 4, Daily Variety said. World of Warcraft is a multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Southern California company Blizzard Entertainment and set in a fantasy world featuring monsters, humans, zombies and magical lands. The franchise was first launched in 1994 and currently has more than 11 million monthly subscribers worldwide, holding the Guinness World Record for most-subscribed multiplayer online game.
Okay.... most of us knows most movies that based on novels or games tend to suck, however this director had a lot of good movies in his repertoire. Finger cross that he won't mess up this movie... seriously. I'm a big fan of Warcraft (although I've quitted DOTA) I still would like to watch a movie based on it so its gonna be interesting >=)
