It seems one of Sam Raimi's anticipated projects has finally found a writer. According to
MTV Movies Blog,
Saving Private Ryan screenwriter Robert Rodat will be writing the
Warcraft film for director Sam Raimi.
Raimi himself confirmed Rodat's involvement to the site and also shed some light on the film's story. Here's an excerpt from the site's piece.
The aim is to adapt the game, rather than a previously conceived story written within that world. "We want to be really faithful to the game," Raimi said. "We would have our writer, Robert Rodat, really craft an original story within that world that feels like a 'World of WarCraft' adventure. Only obviously it's very different 'cause it's expanded and translated into the world of a motion picture."

I'd like to see the Lich King done, but i reckon it get too blasted and compared to LOTR.
Fable would be good, But highly recommended leave Zelda to me :)
I think the idea i've created around Zelda around the OOT story arc, can't be any better than what i've put up through my treatment. The version i've would shock a ton of fans, especially as i plan to have a massive shocker, in which one sequence of the 2 part screenplay i've been adapting for ages, involves Link sticking the master sword through Zelda...
But seriously, I've said this before, but they only need to make a story about the age-old struggle between Orcs and Humans; what the original games were based on.
