Sam Raimi is a movie director, producer, actor and writer. He is best known for directing cult horror movies like the Evil Dead series and Drag Me To Hell as well as the blockbuster Spider-Man series. He is known for bringing three-dimensional life to the comic books characters. Now he's taking on material with an even less flesh and blood story: a videogame. Blizzard thinks he is the ideal man to satisfy Warcraft enthusiasts as well as a mainstream audience. "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."
"Warcraft" made its debut in 1994 as a real-time strategy game based on a conflict between the Horde and the Alliance and was developed into the massively multiplayer online game "World of Warcraft" in 2004 which has developed a huge following. 5 years past, it now holds the Guiness World Record as the most popular massively multiplayer online game with more than 11.5 million monthly subscribers as well as having a lucrative range of licensed products. It was reported in 2007 that Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures were planning to bring the conflict between Alliance and Horde onto silver screen in 2009. Blizzard, Legendary Pictures and Sam Raimi have implicit faith in this upcoming movie.
Analyzer says the World of Warcraft movie is hopefully to be Sam Raimi's magnum opus apart from blockbuster Spider-Man series. The box office appeal of a famed director plus the most popular MMO game is foreseeable.
