Oh Sam Raimi. The mastermind behind countless horror films, the Spiderman trilogy (we will attempt to ignore the atrocity that was "Spiderman 3") and soon the "World of Warcraft" film. Its true. Raimi is taking on the latest in the string of films that stem from video games. It is tough to go about making a movie based on a game truly successful. A new story has to be created that doesn't seem too familiar to game players, but not different enough to seem like something entirely new and different ("Super Mario Bros."). I admit, I know nothing of the game, aside from seeing people play it briefly (and my brother's attempt to get me into it). Game players should be happy they got a big director to stand behind it, at least you know the action and graphic will be worthwhile. But don't get too excited just yet. There is no release date yet. And production has yet to start, as Raimi is going to release "Spiderman 4" before "Warcraft", and spidey doesn't come out till May 6, 2011. So, want to or not, you're set to do some waiting.
