‘World Of Warcraft’ Movie Adaptation Moving Forward

With the success of Game Of Thrones and the upcoming The Hobbit: An Unexpected
Journey hitting screens later this year, it’s no surprise that Legendary are still eager to get an adaptation of the similarly themed World Of Warcraft moving along. However they hit a bit of a speed bump when Sam Raimi, who was originally set to direct, left the project recently.

Now Variety reports that a new writer has been hired to move the project forward. Charles Leavitt, who has previously penned the fantasy flick The Seventh Son for the studio. Next up for the studio is to find a new director. Legendary has quite a bit going on at the moment with numerous upcoming projects and releases so it’s pretty unlikely we would see the movie before 2014. But still this must make fans of the massively popular MMORPG very happy and they may have left their basements to run upstairs and yell out the news.

Just kidding. Kind of.
