Sam Raimi can be quite good though.

I said nothing about Sam Raimi's quality as a director, I think he'd be able to do a fair job of it. Video game movies, or at least live action ones, are notorious for falling beneath expectations or just being bad.

As I said, hopefully this will be about Arthas. It's the logical choice.

The article also mentions it's being produced by Charles Roven, who also produced TDK (he was nominated for Best Producer at the Producer's Guild Awards last year). So the franchise is in apparently good hands.


also, a little thanks would have been nice.

Infinity Sign's right (lol), most game to movies have come out bad, like Bloodrayne and Silent Hill and Max Payne

 

[Johnny Stooge]

Bloodrayne and Silent Hill and Max Payne

weren't directed by Sam Raimi.

 

[Kaezan]

weren't directed by Sam Raimi.

I'm not doubting Raimi's directing abilities, I'm just saying that alof of game to movie Movies arent that good

I'm not doubting Raimi's directing abilities, I'm just saying that alof of game to movie Movies arent that good

because they usually have shitty directors.

 

[Unabomber]

i'm waiting to see how exactly they're going to pull off a plot.

 

[The Jordan]

What. The. Shit. Am I going to do? Love Sam Raimi. Hate Warcraft. Shit. Can't decide which one is stronger.

I doubted his after SM3

hmm?

I doubted his after SM3

It was all producer interference. Avi Arad made Raimi add Venom to SM3 when Raimi had made it quite clear that he didn't like the character and didn't want to put to him in a movie. That's why the movie suffered and why he demanded greater creative control for SM4.

I believe it's going to be mainly CG.
Also, Warcraft is a video game with a better story then most books and movies that come out now-a-days. Browse wowwiki for a little and read up on lore. I have high hopes for this movie.

I'm with you on that.

I'm leaning towards Raimi though...although...I do really hate Warcraft

 

[Tyrant Raver]

Hope this doesn't fuck up. I'm voting for Sam Raimi this time.

 

[Daniel Faraday]

Silent Hill wasn't actually that bad of a movie. Just had some piss poor acting at some points.

But oh fuck yeah Sam Raimi. Drag Me to Hell's easily in my top three for 09 so far, love him as a director. I'm looking forward to this.

where did Silent Hill come from?

Felt like I needed to say something. I'm a firm defender of the movie

 

[Johnny Stooge]
