In a phone interview with MTV, they managed to sneak in a few questions about “Warcraft.” Among the revelations Raimi had to share was the news that “Saving Private Ryan” writer Robert Rodat will be tackling the “Warcraft” script.

Raimi confirmed that the story, which had previously been believed to be an adaptation of the book “Arthas: Rise of the Lich King”, will actually be an original effort based in the universe of the popular online role-playing game.

“We would choose… something that encompasses lands and characters and storylines, and we would be true to it. But our story may or may not be about one of those central characters.”
