World of Warcraft Movie

[DPS]

Sam Raimi had a few decisions to make this year, thanks to a Spider-Man movie franchise reboot that raised questions about whether or not his "WarCraft" movie would become his new priority. It looks like Disney's "Oz: The Great and Powerful" won out in the end, however, meaning "WarCraft" won't be getting his full attention in the new year.

Raimi committed to doing "Oz" next and starting production sometime in 2011, according to a Deadline report. Oddly enough, Raimi hooked up with the new movie after Guillermo del Toro declined to direct it. Meanwhile, del Toro has been looking for new video game projects to work on rather than leaving old ones behind.

Hopefully Raimi hasn't parted ways altogether with "WarCraft." He seemed like a golden choice to oversee the film, but Legendary Pictures will have to be patient with him if they want to hold their current team together.

If del Toro didn't have a lifetime's worth of announced work in front of him already, I'd say someone should give him a call, but as it stands it wouldn't hurt for Legendary to keep their options open should Raimi move on completely. Kenneth Branagh's "Thor" will be coming out next year, and if it manages to stir up some thunder (no pun intended), he could be worth penciling in for a meeting if he's interested.

Blizz with their huge financial strength should be able to push for this movie to come sooner rather than later. It surprises me that they are sticking with Raimi if he's going to take this long.

I think the film would be pretty good tbh.

Aslong as they don't add world of to the beginning of it cos warcraft is a pretty decent game

I hope they don't have world of warcraft in the movies title. I don't think any of my freinds will want to see it with me if it does lol.

Actualy it's been confirmed that work on the movie has begun, these things take years to create.

Wrong move. Misawa is the movie master of HxF. No homo.
