Steven Spielberg set to direct WoW?

[privateer]

Hot on the heels of the anouncement of a Kip Thorne-inspired sci-fi project, Steven Spielberg is now being set to direct WORLD OF WARCRAFT, the adaptation of the popular computer game. This seems rather odd because, not only is it a bit much for Spielberg to have what is now four projects slated for the next few years, a video game adaptation (which, as a genre, have yet to claim any kind of mainstream prestige) does not seem like the type of movie for a director of his status to even consider, let alone pile on top of other stuff he has in the works. The movie is expected to hit sometime around 2009 but I guess we'll see how this one pans out. Meanwhile, Spielberg has the aforementioned sci-fi movie, his Abraham Lincoln project and, of course, INDIANA JONES 4.
