So it seems that they are finally getting serious about creating this World of Warcraft movie for the bigscreen. Long has fanboys/girls been waiting for this movie to come out since the first release of Warcraft back in the 90's. About 1.5 decades or so later we are still not there, but at least they have Sam Raimi on board as Director and he actually gave an interview to MTV about him directing the movie. Sam has promised to stay true to the Warcraft lore, but couldn't promise that it would be direct translation of game to movie. From his interview, I got that he is trying to use the elements from the lore, but create a new story arc to follow from a new character that will be introduced in the movie. The main characters that we gamers are use to from the lore will be supporting characters that help progress the storyline with the introduction of the new one.
Only time will tell if this will be a hit, and I sure do hope it's a hit. IMDB expects a release sometime in 2011, and that sounds about right. Especially if they can get production rolling in 2010 and finish edits to then release the film in 2011. Which I would like to note that I believe Transformers 3 will be out in 2011 also since they paid a crap load of money to Michael Bay to drop his vacation request and get cranking on the new sequel.
I've included a video from Youtube which is the opening movie from World of Warcraft video game. I think that this opening video was done well to draw that excitement/emotion of what the Warcraft universe has to offer to the viewers.
