Isn’t this awesome? Sam Raimi will be directing WoW so I bet that it won’t be a great disappointment. Well, yeah it’s gonna be a tough challenge for him and his crew but I know that this movie will be a hit like most of the movies he directed. It makes me wonder if grinding wow gold and raiding in Ulduar will be included and what faction will he focus?
