It was revealed that Sam Raimi will not be directing a movie based on Blizzard's World of Warcraft after all, perhaps because while doing research, he could not be torn away from his computer after becoming hopelessly addicted to the game. Or he just was too busy making Oz the Great and Powerful. And so the geeks wept. (via The Escapist)

    I’m glad that I’m not in to WOW. A new Oz movie, however, sounds intriguing.

    well..  seeing as it’s been discussed for what..  4 years now? yeah.. not surprised.

    Ironically the movie would be far shorter than the average wow raid

    Yeah if I had the choice between doing a movie with orcs and doing one with FLYING MONKEYS… yes… FLYING MONKEYS…  I’m pretty sure I’d be dedicated to doing the one in Oz.

    I don’t care what movie he does as long as he puts his brother Ted in it.

    I don’t even see how Sam Rami could make a decent WOW movie…
    Campy and full of comedy, yes.
    Something faithful to the game, probably not.

    In the WOW movie script they spend the last hour arguing over loot.
