Back in October we found out that a live action World of Warcraft movie was in the works. Most of us feared the worst, Uwe Boll. Thankfully, that is not the case. Instead Variety is reporting that Sam Raimi will begin work on the film immediately following Spiderman 4. This is good news and bad news. For most of you nerds out there it means you’ll get to see your favorite MMORPG brought to the big screen by one of the most talented directors around. Sadly, it means Evil Dead 4 is that much further away. WoW is reportedly budgeted at 100 million and should begin by mid 2010.

I don’t understand why they’re trying to make a movie out of a game like this. Sure, a lot of people play it, but it doesn’t transcend into a good movie. Pretty surprised that Raimi is aboard this, oh well. Hollywood just doesn’t understand gamers yet =/
My heart was broken today. Dammit, Sam
