Sam Raimi To Direct WarCraft Film

Blizzard has announced that Sam Raimi will be directing the upcoming WarCraft movie. No other details were revealed as of this time, but the name should be familiar to most. Raimi's work includes the 3 Spider-Man films, The Evil Dead and the recent thriller Drag Me To Hell.

"Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have a shared vision for this film and we searched at length to find the very best director to bring that vision to life," said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment. "From our first conversation with Sam, we could tell he was the perfect choice. Sam knows how to simultaneously satisfy the enthusiasts and the mainstream audience that might be experiencing that content for the first time. We're looking forward to working with him to achieve that here."

I think everyone's expectations on the movie are low at the moment because, let's face it, films based on video games aren't known to be good ones. However, with Raimi at the helm, there is some hope to be found. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be an emo Spider-Man clone because seriously, what was up with that?
