Excellent, a cartoon turned into live action movie is always my favourite format :P

As for the Avatar references I cannot see a link other then its an alien world, for most of Azeroth though its a more Earth like world for starters so even that looks tenuous. So the question is, will he ham it up like Evil Dead 3, or well his hits are Spiderman and Darkman in terms of the big blockbuster films.

For a fantasy film I think the genre really is lacking in truly great films, the original Conan the Barbarian had its good spots, Lord of the Rings probably is the most polished now (although the battle scenes were awful in that they wasted so much opportunity for depth instead of just charge and counter charge).

With Sam in charge I'm expecting the worst though, he's not shown himself to be into that sort of genre yet.
