Sam Raimi to Direct "Warcraft" Movie

Variety reported late Tuesday night that Sam Raimi has signed to direct the "World of Warcraft" movie. The movie will be titled "Warcraft," possibly leading to a "Warcraft 2, 3, etc." if things go well.

the story of the main characters in the warcraft RTS games is pretty intersting. I never got into WoW, but i really enjoyed the three strategy games that led to it.
I hope they do it full CGI. It would be SO full of fail to try to make it like LOTR where the humans, dwarves, and elves are real actors. The orcs are too important for them to be CGI supporting actors (Jar Jar style). And I think that it would be difficult to have people in costumes for taurens and trolls, they are weird shapes. Plus all the giant demons will have to be CGI.

thank you jesus it was not uwe boll.

[chasity boner]

spider man stinks!

video games stink even worse!

[Jason Lee]

Well, movies based on video games have traditionally stunk.

But maybe Sam Raimi will buck this seeming curse.

The reverse is true also. Video games based on movies are the worst. Quickly made, nothing innovative, usually a rip off of another game by just repainting the characters on a cheap game engine.

[Nicole]

You're funny. I'm probably old enough to be your mother. I have a family and a job so I'm way too busy to watch Hannah Cyrus or Lizzy Kinkaid or whatever unlike y..........

oh, i see, so i guess i interrupted you watching The Bold and The Beautiful.

either way... if you don't care for a warcraft movie, that's fine. guess what! nobody is going to tie you to a theatre chair and tape your eyes open, forcing you to watch it.

if you don't care, then take a hike. everyone has something that they like. if this aint your cup of tea, fine, but do you feel the need to come here and bother the people that are intersted?

obviously you're old, but that doesn't make you mature. hopefully by the time you're a grandmother, you'll grow up.

[Nicole]

And hopefully by the time you grow out of puberty you'll get a clue, a job, and maybe a woman.

got all of that and more.
23, engineer, engaged, and here on the message board for a movie that i have an interest in.

what do you have? 50-something, stay at home mom, married, and on the message board for a movie you don't want to see.

so...
sorry, which one of us doesn't have a life? Oh yeah, that'd be the one here to b1tch about a movie and try to start fights on the internet. Not the one that just wants you to leave.

[Baros Hendricks]

Dude I hope they make sure Blizzard isn't in charge of the actual production otherwise it may take till 2020 for the movie to actually release.

[Nicole]

Well, well, mister I'm a prebescent 20 something. Good for you I'm engaged and an engineer. No, I', nowhere near 50 and yes, I have a job and a life. Once you stop sucking your thumb and get out of diapers you will realize there is more to life than picking fights over a stupid movie.

Okay, thank you for your extremely valuable input into this discussion. Your points have been duly noted.
And by that I mean you're a stupid tramp.
If you're nowhere near 50 yet still old enough to be my mother, I can only assume that you had kids at the age of 16-17?
And if you think 'prebescent' is a word, you're definitely stupid. And if you think I started this fight, you're even stupider. Sorry, who was it that came to a topic about a movie she doesn't care about to implecate that those who DO care have no life? See, I'm beyond caring what you are or what you like. I assumed by your attitude that you're a preteen girl, but aparently you were too busy slutting around and getting knocked up as a preteen, since you're now a 30-something mother of three with no life.

Now if you don't mind, get your PMS out of our topic.

[Nicole]

Maybe if you take your hand out of your pants long enough to know that if I'm a 30 something mom I did NOT have kids at 16 or 17. What school did you graduate from, Kelloggs school of Frosted Flakes?? No I will not leave you alone either because it is so easy to get a rise out of you, dumb prick. You are so stupid. Oh, let me argue over a movie that hasn't even been made yet. Oh, let me call a total stranger a slut. You are the dumbest nose picking, b**l sucking, masterb**ing pr*** on the planet.
