I'll watch it, not because its WOW, but because of Sam Raimi. Come on Evil Dead!!! I'm hoping its going to be ridiculous and hilarious.

Kind of hope he sticks with the interesting lore. Involve the Warcraft heroes and all. I've always wanted to see a movie about the Scourge and the Lich King storylines, since they're some of the most compelling in the game. Now that Wrath of the Lich King's out, it's certainly a primo time for it.
What they need to not do is focus it entirely on player characters at the expense of the lore. That's how you get that dumbassed D&D movie.

I wonder if they are going to use words like "pown" or "dude, I got raped" with their characters. That would be more realistic.
SPOILER! The ending to the movie is one of the characters moms calls him down to eat and he has to quit the quest.

with this movie i think i'll have the same attitude i have for people who play the game. i'll respect the magnitude of it, but ultimately make so much fun of it i'll fall over laughing at how ridiculous it is that people get THIS into a false reality.

I've never played the game myself, the closest was a little known mmo called "Eternal Lands" a few years back.
The thing is I love the fantasy genre, and done correctly there is an unlimited supply of top notch stories to be made here - I'm already getting buzzed about this project - HELP ME!

This should be interesting. It's good to see Sam Raimi taking on more different projects.

Well, I don't know about the director, but I definitely would watch a World of Warcraft movie. I'm just surprised it's being released in the US and not overseas first.

I really don't understand the knee-jerk responses here. We've not seen an image or a single shot and already people are condemning this announcement.
The fact of the matter is that when production rolls on this picture the fanboys are going to be going crazy over it. I remember the publicity on the LOTR trilogy, every new shot had them salivating and I think this could be much the same - provided they get a half decent script of course!

This is great news! This series has a massive potential and it could also replace the Harry Potter series as Warner's tentpole property!
If this is done properly (think a dark Lord of the Rings) then this has the potential to be an epic franchise!
