Well, as it turns out there’s confirmation on exactly where Raimi is in relation to these two films and those hoping for a Robert Downey Jr. fronted Raimi Oz film will be disappointed to learn that the director is still talking, nothing is signed. As Raimi is yet to settle on a new project there’s the spectre of the World of Warcraft film hovering and Raimi confirms that he is actively working on the project.
