It looked like it was dead in the water last summer when Sam Raimi departed for Oz the Great and Powerful, but Legendary's long-gestating World of Warcraft adaptation is apparently still in development -- in fact, now it has a brand new director in the form of Moon and Source Code helmer Duncan Jones.
