Yesterday we post the rumor that director Steven spielberg has signed up to helm the produce of live-action World of Warcraft movie. Today Spielberg?s offices responsed that rumor was just a rumor, they are now busy with the movie "Indiana Jones 4", the director will not be engaged in WOW movie.

?Warcraft? rumors are just that...rumors

If there was any doubt in your mind to the credibility SpielbergFilms had in debunking these "World of Warcraft" rumors, here?s a final nail in the "Warcraft" coffin.

Steven Spielberg?s offices have told us in no uncertain terms that Mr. Spielberg will not be directing "World of Warcraft." The project is in development, but not with Mr. Spielberg attached.

ORIGINAL STORY: To get right to the point, the stories about Steven Spielberg?s involvement with the forthcoming film adaptation of the videogame "World of Warcraft" are completely false.

The news began from what is supposedly a Yahoo! Movies mailing list and spread from there. Yahoo!?s story said that, no less than Variety was reporting that "Steven Spielberg sign[ed] to direct World of Warcraft," and that the project would be out around 2009.

The only problem with this bit of intel is that Variety has published no such reports.

This isn?t the first time that Yahoo! Movies has had a hand in starting baseless rumors. Look back just a few months, and word would have it that Steven Spielberg was set to direct the "Da Vinci Code" prequel "Angels and Demons." That idiotic rumor became so pervasive, that it actually made its way back to the industry trades (where the online rumors were mentioned in passing).
