These are just my opinions but as a huge gamer I hope you respect those though and I am guessing you agree to an extent on some as well. Anyway, as we all know WOW has taken over lifes so much that you can sell your charater online for, at times thousands of dollars which is F-ing stupid to me. I mean how lazy are you? Where is the fun without beating missions and leveling up!? OK im getting sidetracked so lets get to the meat of this post. A World of Warcraft based movie.WoW Gold here,get it.
Sound luda? Well is seemingly isn't, at least not to Spider Man and Grudge director Sam Raimi. He talked about how games have great depth and allow gamers to transend into new worlds but that is has a unique problem when getting tossed onto the big screen.
"In the world of video games, it's usually more of an environment or a scenario, not character-based ... but they certainly could [be better]. There's 'World of Warcraft' -- what an awesome video game! It has such great, adventurous characters in it and such fantastic landscapes and rules. ... You could make a brilliant 'World of Warcraft' movie -- as fine as any of the best superhero movies -- if you had the right writers and directors."
Could good ole' Sam Raimi mean himself? Maybe his brother? If he does, does that mean we will see the awesome Bruce Campbell in a WOW based movie concept??? Raimi brings an interesting point to light though and something that shows he at least pays attention to this movies and who works on them. He says how they screw up the character base basically and focus too much on the character and not enough on the enviroment or storyline. Im looking at you Uwe Boll!!!
I for one think you could, if done correctly make a large amount of movies with diff characters based around World of Warcraft. As long as the writing is solid, the action is good and there is decent character development you could make a worthwhile movie. Alas, that is my opinion and I love opinions so let me hear yours on this matter...
