Sam Raimi
spoke with MTV News about
his upcoming Warcraft movie, and while he didn't confirm (or deny, we guess)
the whole subtitle thing, he did mention a new writer.
Robert Rodat is apparently putting a screenplay together -- he's best known for writing
Saving Private Ryan (and of course if we can get a
Warcraft movie as good as that Spielbergian epic, we'll all be happy), and
he's also penned Fly Away Home and
The Patriot. Most recently, says his Wikipedia page, he did some work on
10,000 B.C., though if you saw that movie, you probably wouldn't be able to tell, anyway -- it was terrible.
Raimi says he wants to stay faithful "to the Horde and the Alliance and the mythology that takes place in the game," as well as "choose one or some of the lands that are portrayed in the game with as much accuracy and authenticity as possible." He calls Rodat a great character writer, and says a great character-based story within the world of Azeroth is his goal. Sounds good. The picture above is the only art we've ever seen of the movie (it was
presented at BlizzCon a few years ago), but since then, it sounds like the movie has changed quite a bit, so we'll have to wait and see what Rodat and Raimi are coming up with.
