It’s been a while since we heard that Sam Raimi was going to head up a World of Warcraft movie, but the self-admitted WoW fan says that they are still hard at work and moving forward with the production. Well, moving forward at a really slow and steady pace.
At the Saturn Awards Collider.com got a chance to speak with Raimi, who passed on making Spider-Man 4, and he admitted that he was still committed to making the movie, but that they weren’t really that far along in it. Right now they only have a 40 page treatment for the script and nothing more. Raimi also says that the film will take place entirely within the world of WoW and not be some lame “real world” thing. Collider also says that Raimi seems really pumped about doing the movie and that it seems like he wants it to be his next film.
There’s a lot of great details on the game throughout the video above that make me think this will turn out to be a very solid fantasy film. He does seem awfully excited about it.
