sam raimi to direct warcraft movie - dirtymonkey22 - 07-22-2009 Raimi 'World of Warcraft' Sam Raimi has signed on to direct "Warcraft," the live-action film adaptation of the fantasy videogame franchise "World of Warcraft." Legendary Pictures and vidgame publisher Blizzard Entertainment are mounting the film, and Warner Bros. will co-finance and distribute. The team boasts an impressive pedigree: In addition to the director of "Spider-Man," the partners have added "The Dark Knight" producer Charles Roven to the creative mix. The plan is for Raimi to supervise development of "Warcraft" and shoot the picture after he completes work on "Spider-Man 4," which gets under way early next year for Columbia Pictures. The movie will be financed under the Legendary Pictures' co-production and co-financing deal with WB, in a manner similar to the Todd Phillips-directed "The Hangover" plus the Roven-produced "Batman Begins" and "Dark Knight." The "Warcraft" universe features an epic conflict between the Horde and the Alliance. The game has developed a global following since its launch in 1994 and shows no signs of slowing. Its most recent expansion, "Wrath of the Lich King," sold more than 2.8 million copies in the first day of release and more than 4 million its first month. "Warcraft" is "emblematic of the kind of branded, event films for which our studio is best known," said Warner Bros. Pictures Group president Jeff Robinov. The deal revives a long-dormant pact made by Legendary and Blizzard for a film adaptation of the game (Daily Variety, May 8, 2006).More than one option(Co) Daily Variety Filmography, Year, Role (Co) Daily Variety "At its core, 'Warcraft' is a fantastic, action-packed story," Raimi said in a statement. Raimi most recently directed "Drag Me to Hell." Roven and his Atlas producing partner Alex Gartner will produce with Legendary's CEO Thomas Tull and chief creative officer Jon Jashni, Raimi and his producing partner, Joshua Donen. Rob Tapert will be executive producer, and Blizzard senior VP of creative development Chris Metzen will be co-producer.

My ex would rather play that game than take care of his child. One day when she was 6mos old I came home on my lunch break to take her to my aunt's house so he could go look for a job and her diaper was soaked through, her clothes were wet from pee, she hadn't been fed and she was crying her 6month old head off. He was way too busy playing WoW to take care of her. He's always been too busy playing that damned game to take care of his child. Not to mention, my father's the same way. If it's not WoW, he doesn't care about it. I fucking hate it! Re: sam raimi to direct warcraft movie - juggalogigolo - 07-24-2009 just cause the dudes in your life have their priorities fucked dosent mean the game is gay that would be like me hating tv cause some dumb bitch i used to fuck watched soap operas all day..... makes no fuckin sense Re: sam raimi to direct warcraft movie - sTr - 07-24-2009 no, the game being gay makes the game gay.... Re: sam raimi to direct warcraft movie - N-Do - 07-24-2009 im not a warcraft fan, so i dont really care bout this, but i have a few friends who do play and my one homie was tellin me that theres like a Sanford & Sons junkyard type place thats totally jocking sanford & sons, i doubt itll be anywhere in the movie, but i thought that was pretty funny.... havent found any pics of it yet Re: sam raimi to direct warcraft movie - canttouchthis80 - 07-25-2009 mage= rape warriors regardless of healer Re: sam raimi to direct warcraft movie - juggalogigolo - 07-25-2009 <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.wowwiki.com/Easter_eggs" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.wowwiki.com/Easter_eggs</a><!-- m --> eh, depends, i can take out a mage occasionally Re: sam raimi to direct warcraft movie - canttouchthis80 - 07-25-2009 what spec u be playing as a warrior and what spec the mage be it makes a huge difference. fire mages probably easy for warriors but as a arcane mage the rape of warriors is ungodly easy
