Steven Spielberg to Direct World of Warcraft Movie?

JoBlo.com is reporting that Blizzard Entertainment may have signed on Steven Spielberg to direct a future World of Warcraft movie.
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.
