Sam Raimi To Direct World of Warcraft Movie

Posted by Soulskill on from the this-is-my-boomstick dept.

Decado writes "Blizzard has just announced that Sam Raimi is to direct the new World of Warcraft movie. 'Raimi, acclaimed director of the blockbuster Spider-Man series, will bring the forces of the Horde and the Alliance to life in epic live-action film. Charles Roven's Atlas Entertainment will produce alongside Raimi's Stars Road Entertaiment.' While it's still early in the process, does this offer hope that someone might finally make a good movie based on a game IP?"

    Anonymous Coward? I swear I didn't check the box. What the hell is going on? I blame...someone else.

    You fear him off the cliff.

    Somewhat offtopic: How the hell did the verb "fear" ever acquire this meaning in WoW? That's a rhetorical question, but c'mon, "to fear something" already had a standard English meaning; it means that you're afraid of it. You'd think that being feared by your enemies would be a good thing. Every time the game tells me that an enemy fears me, I just have to say to myself, "I guess I'm so happy to be this terrifying that I'm running around like an idiot."
