Just as the headline says folks. Sam Raimi has been tapped to direct the Warcraft movie, Blizzard announced today. As most of you know, Raimi has been responsible for  directing the wickedly funny Evil Dead series and of course, the Spider-Man trilogy.

“At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story,” said Raimi. “I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen.”

I wonder how much of Warcraft’s lore Raimi will explore, but it’ll be interesting to see how it plays out. I hope that he doesn’t make it one-sided in that the Alliance are the “good guys” and the Horde are the “bad guys”. Because orcs are like onions…oh wait, that’s ogres.

Then again, I  just pray to god that we don’t see a member of the Alliance get afflicted by an Undead curse and start wearing all black, strutting down the street, and overall acting like a jackass.
