Sam Raimi to direct WoW movie
By Cokomon • Jul 22nd, 2009 • Category: Entertainment, Movies, Video GamesAccording to the New York Times, Sam Raimi is set to direct a film based on World of Warcraft. Or at least based on the Warcraft franchise, since there were other games in the series besides WoW.
The success of the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter movies has caused Warner Brothers to look for more money in fantasy film genre. Of course, this is the first post-LotR fantasy film to come out based on a video game series rather than a book series. With Sam Raimi at the helm, there’s a good chance this will be a fun film. Unless the studio gets too involved, then we could have another Spider-Man 3.
