Having not gotten enough “mom’s basement” cred with the world’s nerd population by directing SPIDER-MAN, Sam Raimi has signed up to direct the upcoming movie based on the WARCRAFT video-games. If you’re greedy for more details you’re going to be disappointed…sorry. That’s all the information we have right now. Director…Sam Raimi.
It’s not a bad choice, as Raimi is a solid director. I’m not sure if the material suits him very well though. I would expect the Warcraft movie to be more in-line with the LORD OF THE RINGes than the EVIL DEADs. I’m not saying he can’t make a good movie, but the only large-scale battle sequences he’s ever made were in ARMY OF DARKNESS and they were a joke, a hilarious joke, but a joke nonetheless.
Please just make sure that this movie has owl-monsters that grind it out. That’s all I ask.
