Last July, Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures announced that Sam Raimi had signed on to direct a movie based on the award-winning Warcraft universe.
"At its core, 'Warcraft' is a fantastic, action-packed story. I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen," Raimi said then. In October, Raimi also revealed that "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Patriot" screenwriter Robert Rodat was writing the script for "Warcraft."
Raimi was expected to develop the game adaptation while he was shooting "Spider-Man 4." Of course, last Monday Sony made the big announcement that the "Spider-Man" franchise was going to be rebooted in 2012, leaving fans wondering if he would turn his attention fully to the "Warcraft" movie instead.
iF Magazine got a chance to talk to "Warcraft" producer and Raimi's partner, Robert Tapert, who said the helmer hasn't made a decision yet.
