<p>The movie, entitled &#8216;Warcraft&#8217; was officially made known in 2006 with an announcement and was meant to have Sam Raimi directing. However, this has changed and Duncan Jones will now be directing. Blizzard confirmed the original release date (Dec 18) last month but well, that&#8217;s changed too now.</p>
