Sam Raimi continues to go WoW?

Sam Raimi became quite the topic of conversation last week when the plug was pulled on the upcoming Sony Pictures feature Spider-Man 4. Since he was part of the comic book franchise boat anymore, plenty of fans were hoping that he’d finally get cracking on making Evil Dead IV.

Raimi has been giving out updates on how production is coming along with the impending World of Warcraft movie for awhile, reports Coming Soon. He’s already dished out that writer Robert Rodat, who’s works include Saving Private Ryan, would be penning the script for the popular role playing series.

Now the entire project might be in limbo, especially due to what’s happened with Spider-Man 4. Producer Robert Tapert dished out the latest on the project.:

“It’s in development,” Tapert said. “We’re in the outline/story/script phase.”

“I don’t want to speak on Sam’s behalf, because the ‘Spider-Man’ thing happened so recently,” added Tapert. “I think he’s getting his feet under him and trying to decide. He might want to do a teeny, tiny small film, but I don’t know what he wants to do. I know he had a great time doing ‘Drag Me to Hell.’”

A small film? Could the whole debacle of Spider-Man 4 finally kick-start Raimi into finally going back to his beloved Evil Dead series? What do you think, and even more so do you think Raimi should go crazy and finally make Evil Dead IV?
