The World of Warcraft movie has hovered somewhere between gaming myth and media rumor for years now, but now it seems the project has been given the green light.
More than that, it's been given a big-name director - one that's sure to delight WoWers of all types. Sam Raimi originally gained attention for the Evil Dead films, which endure as must-see cult classics. He also directed Tobey Maguire in Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2, not to mention working on a whole host of other films. Raimi's name brings a certain amount of panache to any project, and indicates that a big-budget WoW movie is certainly in the works.
Very little plot or scripting information is known at this point, and Blizzard seems to be playing their cards pretty close to vest. This leaves the door wide open for speculation. Will the film feature a single hero as its main character, or an ensemble where different playable WoW classes are present? Will the movie showcase the classic conflict of good vs. evil (in this case, Alliance against Horde)? Are we talking live action or high-octane animation?
