I never got into "World of Warcraft" mainly because I thought it would get too addicting and I've literally seen relationships ruined over the game. However, the multiplayer online game does contain a lot of the things that appeal to my inner geek such as elves, dragons, orcs, wizards, and the like. Because of the popularity of the game, it was probably inevitable that a movie version would eventually come out.
For several months director Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Spiderman) had been linked to the "WOW" project. However, when asked this past week at Comic-Con about his involvement, Raimi stated that Blizzard Entertainment no longer has him directing the film. This is due in large part to Raimi's current project OZ: The Great and Powerful due to release next year.
According to "Crave Online," Blizzard Entertainment hasn't officially announced that Raimi is off the project or who the new director will be. No timetable has been set for production and there is no official release date. Personally, I could care less if this film gets made. Why you ask? Just try watching the Dungeons and Dragons movie and you'll know why. If you can get past the first ten minutes anyway.
OZ: The Great and Powerful opens next year and stars James Franco and Mila Kunis.
