Variety is reporting that director, Sam Raimi has signed on to direct the live-action movie adaptation of Warcraft (more specifically, World of Warcraft… though, a movie of an eagle eye view of a forrest with people chopping trees, mining gold, and building barracks’ would be sahweet!):

Legendary Pictures and vidgame publisher Blizzard Entertainment are mounting the film, and Warner Bros. will co-finance and distribute. The team boasts an impressive pedigree: In addition to the director of “Spider-Man,” the partners have added “The Dark Knight” producer Charles Roven to the creative mix.

The plan is for Raimi to supervise development of “Warcraft” and shoot the picture after he completes work on “Spider-Man 4,” which gets under way early next year for Columbia Pictures.
