Update on World of Warcraft movie

Realpoor informed you about WoW movie few months ago. Sam Raimi accepted director's chair and the name of the movie has been set to one word - Warcraft.

Anyway, I found an update today. The movie has been renamed to Warcraft: The Rise of the Lich King, which implies that it could be based on novel Arthas: Rise of the Lich King which follows the life of Arthas Menethil, a fallen paladin who became Lich King.
Or this could be just fake working title.

According to WoW movie IMDB page, it will be based on Chris Metzen's stories (he wrote scripts for Warcraft II, Diablo and Starcraft games).

I can't believe they are even making a movie in the first place.

It'll probably be a huge flop... Which is dumb because Blizzard has never released anything that's bad :s

There's never been a good videogame movie... but Sam Raimi... hmm
