Wow, WoW

So the big news of my morning was that Sam Raimi just signed on to direct the World of Warcraft movie. Pair him up with the producer from Dark Knight, and this seems like one hell of a movie. I mean, this could be the first decent video game adaptation since the first Mortal Kombat. However, the problem with this movie is that they're inevitably going to do it from the point of view of the Alliance. Let's see: We have an epic quest being taken on by a human, an elf, a dwarf, various other little people. I think I've seen this movie before, but I can't remember where...

Now, imagine, if you will, if they made the movie from the point of view of the Horde. You still have an elf, but your other heroes are a troll, an orc, a zombie, and a 7 foot tall cow-person. While the possibilities of romance are slim (and would be kinda ooky even if they happened), this would be such a different and interesting movie that it would be worth watching. But oh well, maybe a sequel?

May all your hits be crits,
