The long rumoured film adaptation of the extremely popular Warcraft video game series has finally announced a director for the project.

Director Sam Raimi, of Spiderman and Evil DeadĀ fame, was previously annouced as director though heĀ departure the project in 2012.

Now donā€™t hold your breath everyone, as well all know films based off video games donā€™t exactly translate well, see past fails: the awful Max Payne film, Tekken and the notorious 1993 live action Super Mario Bros. film (face palm).

Although Jones has taken to Twitter to announce that heā€™s keen for the challenge,

Warcraft is said to have a $100 million+ production with the guys behind Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Rises Legendary Pictures producing the film. Blizzard and Atlas Entertainmentā€™s Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are reportedly working on the film as well.
