Orcs on the big screen In Raimi we trust…
Blizzard Entertainment has teamed up with Legendary Pictures (The Dark Knight, The Hangover) to hire Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, Drag Me To Hell) as director of the upcoming Warcraft movie.
“At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story,” said Raimi. “I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen.”
We love Raimi, but we’re definitely skeptical of this one. While the script may be fantastic and action-packed, isn’t World of Warcraft all about hunting demons and fishing for hours on end?

The last thing before I take off my cynic hat, but what was the last movie based on a game that you really enjoyed? We’ll give you a few minutes.
