    I've had a vision of this movie. In that vision the camera pans slowly around the bustling city of Stormwind where we see the coming and goings of the various throngs of neon clad heroes standing in line at banks with the background clamor of Auctioneers barking their wares mixed with the sounds of giggling gnomes, the scrape of jewelcrafter's tools and the yawning mewls of big cats.

    The camera comes to rest at the mailbox in between the inn and the bank. There we see two bare purple skinned feet perched atop the box. The camera slowly climbs upward as it gains focus and zooms out to reveal a female Night Elf wearing nothing but a loincloth and fur bra swaying in a hypnotic rhythm to an unknown tune. You see a small crowd of red headed Dwarves and muscle bound thick necked men liberally tossing pieces of gold at her and cheering.

    But upon closer examination of the stills of the footage when you watch it at home later, you notice an ungainly bulge in the groin of the dancer...what could she be hiding?

    Let me get this straight:

    The studio behind this movie is the studio behind 300.
    The director is the director of the Spider-Man movies.
    The producer is the producer of The Dark Knight.
    The writer is now the writer of Saving Private Ryan?
    Oh yeah, and Bruce Campbell will likely be in the movie.

    Could this movie possibly be made of any more win?

    Joxer the Mighty
    Roams through the countryside
    He never needs a place to hide
    With Gabby as his sidekick
    Fighting with her little stick
    Righting wrongs and singing songs
    Being mighty all day long
    He's Joxer—he's Joxer the Mighty!

    oh wait...wrong Raimi (sort of)

    @Sobersean: I've been watching that, too! It's awesome how they have all of the Xena and Hercules on there. I think the earlier seasons of Xena are a bit better, personally. The last two or so got too serious for my taste. I think the earlier seasons had a good mixture of serious episodes and goofy ones.

    WoW movie confirmed for depressing, emotionally manipulative ending in which all of the likable characters die and the circumstances of their enemy's defeat signals to the audience that they died for no good reason.

    Damn, I hated that ending. Air and tank support 5 minutes away, and they're off zerg-rushing like a 5-year-old Korean boy playing Starcraft for the very first time.

    @shanrulez: For once, and oddly, I'm concerned that a movie will be live-action instead of CGI.

    It isn't that live action can't handle high-fantasy (LotR taught us to ignore that prejudice). It is that the World of Warcraft has a very unique style. A style which, in my humble opinion, will not translate well to a live-action movie.

    Without the inclusion of this style I fear that we will be presented with a generic fantasy film, dismissed by all but the hardcore fans (a la D&D: The Movie) instead of a World of Warcraft movie.

    Though perhaps I should place a bit more trust in Mr. Raimi. We'll see.

    Dude. I never even THOUGHT about Bruce being in this movie. And I thought it was going to suck. Guess there is hope for it yet.

    Can't wait to see Bruce talking smack to Thrall.

    I say he plays every role. Just get him a fat suit and some make-up and let him play every part like Ash from Evil Dead.

    I would pay with pieces of my body to see that.

    why does it have to be a "cameo"? why can't they just give him a reasonably sized "real" role?
