In a surprise announcement from Blizzard Entertainment (producer of the massively popular World of Warcraft online game) has announced that Sam Raimito will direct the upcoming World of Warcraft movie.
In a press release (released just before the opening day of Comic-Con), Blizzard stated the following:
“Raimi, acclaimed director of the blockbuster Spider-Man series, will bring the forces of the Horde and the Alliance to life in epic live-action film. Charles Roven’s Atlas Entertainment will produce alongside Raimi’s Stars Road Entertaiment.”
I’ll give the WoW crowd a moment to gather themselves.
Blizzard also states in the release that further details including cast details and the release date, will be announced “as development progresses”.
Knowing the massive potential for profit, it probably won’t be that far off.
Some are predicting further details will be announced at the upcoming and hugely popular Blizz-Con gathering in August in Anaheim, CA.
