Sam Raimi to direct Warcraft movie

Over the past few weeks I've been into the whole movie scene. i find myself wrapped up into my television or computer screen glued to the show or movie of the day. with this in mind i was amazed to come across a post on Yahoo about one of my other obsessions, Blizzard Entertainment's World of Warcraft.

The post is about the plan that Sam Raimi will be directing the newly announced World of Warcraft movie that will take place in the realm of Azeroth, the main setting for the online game, the books, and the PC game series as well. when this was announced, the Internets best bloggers and gamers found themselves jumping in their chairs, i was one of those people.

with the joy came the sadness. within a week of this being announced, people suddenly came up with complaints for this. many of them opted that they make more then one movie, three being the average. this was due to the high amount of story that is going to be covered in one movie. many claim that they should make three movies following three story lines that come together in the end, with events intertwining. as of right now i have not come across any plans to have this sort of thing, but gamers everywhere are waiting to hear the release date of this epic movie.

Just to shed some light on Raimi's past and current work i thought i would give a list of his most recent works. Raimi directed "Spider man", along with its predecessors, "Spider man 2", "Spider Man 3", and his current project "Spider Man 4". he also directed the 2009 film "Drag Me to Hell." looking at the directing he did for these movies may give hopeful viewers something to expect from Raimi as he moves forward to direct the upcoming "World of Warcraft" movie.
