July 23rd, 2009
“Alright, we got The A-Team. We got T.J. Hooker. We even got the View-Finder toy. Gentlemen, I need you to think — is there any other thing that has ever existed that we can pillage for a feature film remake?”
“I think we hit ‘em all, sir.”
“Are you sure? There has to be something. Anything! I don’t care how big or small or…”
“Wait — has anyone made a World of Warcraft m–”
[Executive breaks both legs jumping to his feet, can't feel the pain because of the excitement-induced adrenaline, immediately calls up Sam Raimi]:
According to a statement released today by Blizzard Entertainment, popular horror/superhero movie director Sam Raimi will be taking the reins on a live-action film based on the MMORPG World Of Warcraft. Casting, scripting and release date info are all still up in the air, but Raimi is quoted as saying, “At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story. I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen.”
“How did we miss this one for so long??? Dammit, men, we were seconds away from having to actually come up with sh*t.”
“You know, I don’t think anyone’s ever made a Sims movie, right?”
[Everyone explodes]
