World of Warcraft flick in 'development,' 'script phase' photo

Find a way to subdue those nerd-jitters, World of Warcraft movie hopefuls. It looks like the planned film isn’t close to being done. In a recent interview at the Television Critics Association Winter Edition, the film’s executive producer stated that they’re still in the “development” phase. No filming.

“It’s in development,” producer Robert Tapert told IF Magazine at the event. “We’re in the outline, story, script phase.” He added that Raimi might do a baby (small) movie next.

Film director Sam Raimi isn’t doing "Spider-Man 4," which is apparently a big deal for both Spider-Man and World of Warcraft flick fans. But despite the dude’s newfound freedom, it doesn’t look like things are progressing as quickly as we’d all like -- this script phase business sounds like this may take a while longer. Imagine that.

I wonder how long it'll take for Hollywood to reboot the World of Warcraft film and put in that douche from Twilight.

There's so much money to make here ;(
Of course the movie is a go. WoW fanboys will want to see this even if the movie turns out bad.

Film director Sam Raimi isn’t doing "Spider-Man 4,"

You don't know how happy I was to hear this. The fact that Dunst is out of it is only better. I like McGuire but it's probably best that he's not attached to the project either.

And since they're rebooting it from when Parker was in high school maybe we can get a decent Venom.

Don't worry though guys! They're hiring the crew behind Halo: The Movie to do the film's shooting and effects!

@ Jon B

Thank GOD. And here i was afraid that this movie was actually going to be made!!

Im sure there will be a totally awesome anime series in a few years though... one that completely resonates with WoW's free thinking and open mindend audience.

I heard that Spider-Man is going to come out in 3D in about 2 or 3 years. Anyways, I'm not too upset since these days I'm busy finding ways to lose weight and am in rehab (from World of Warcraft addiction).

Well right now I am waiting for the Spider-Man 2012. I just googled and found out that the role of Mary Jane Watson has been offered to Emma Stone!!

They still have to find someone for the role of Gwen Stacy. It seems that a pre-cast was arranged and role was almost awarded, but there was a problem with the weight of the female actor. She was asked to drop 30 pounds to get the role, but she refused. The name of the actor remained undisclosed. She certainly needed some <a href="http://www.weightlosstips.co.uk/">weight loss tips</a> as such a role should never be passed. Right?
while the role of Gwen Stacy has yet to be cast.

They are making a movie? Never even knew they were doing that, BUT I can say that it will get a lot of attention when released. WoW is still extremely popular and my wife plays it daily. I know she will be happy to hear they are making a movie.
