Deadites + WoW = ???

No he dident!

Or maybe he did. Sam Raimi, yes Evil Dead, Drag Me To Hell, and Spider-Man Raimi, is now officially directing a Warcraft Movie. This is a live action movie interpretation of the Warcraft universe.

I'm a whirlwind of anticpation and fear right now. Having played Warcraft and WoW, the story line has many interesting points, but is also hugely drawn out; think a 20 season TV storyline that just does not want to die. Never the less, it IS Sam Raimi! He has a unique sense of interpretation on the screen that has never failed to delight me. (Well, if you watch Darkman today, it does seem kinda dorkish but it was awesome when I was younger!)

The only question now is what role will Bruce Campbell play? A current day blue collar worker who travels back in time to save Azeroth from the Scourge? I can see it already, Hail to the King Baby.
