You've just made the big announcement that Sam Raimi will be directing the Warcraft movie. You're co-producing, so what are your thoughts on the announcement?Chris Metzen, Vice President of Creative Development, Blizzard Entertainment: We're all very, very excited about the announcement. WOW GOLD players waited a long time to announce a director.We've been with Legendary for a number of years and we've jammed a lot of ideas, and we've waited for the right personalities, the right chemistry to come together. We're really, really stoked that it finally has. It's pretty surreal that we've finally made the announcement. It's finally like, "It's on, it's official, here we go." We're just stoked to get it going and see this thing starting to take shape.GameSpy: Was Sam Raimi one of the originally targeted directors?Chris Metzen: We talked about a lot of different people, and certainly his name was one of the first we had talked about. We're all huge "Spider-Man" fans, and all of his horror content, like "Army of Darkness" is one of my personal favorites. Sam's one of those guys who came out swinging with "Spider-Man," in terms of handling the licensed product and all the geeky fanfare. The passion of fandom, he really translated that into something that everyone could love, and had a lot of heart. And those were really important components for us, in terms of translating a license, in building a cinematic experience that speaks to the license, but really sings to everybody.
