Coming fresh from working on the Spider-Man film trilogy and the horror film Drag Me to Hell, Raimi said he was excited at the opportunity to translate the popular videogame universe into an epic film.
“At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story,” he said. “I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen.”
Chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment, Paul Sams, said Blizzard knew from its first conversation with Raimi that he was the perfect choice.
“Sam knows how to simultaneously satisfy the enthusiasts and the mainstream audience that might be experiencing that content for the first time," said Sams. “We're looking forward to working with him to achieve that here."
