Sam Raimi (Spiderman) is in negotiations to direct The Kingkiller Chronicles, the movie based on the fantasy book series by Patrick Rothfuss.

The Kingkiller Chronicles is a book trilogy that follows Kvothe, a young wizard who recounts his early years in University and traveling the world that led to his claim to fame. The first two books, A Name in the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear, were both New York Times Bestsellers. The third book in the series, tentatively titled The Doors of Stone, does not have a release date set.

In the meantime, Lin-Manuel Miranda stars in the reboot of Mary Poppins, starring opposite Emily Blunt, which is expected for a Christmas 2018 release.

Sam Raimi has been busy producing the follow up to his famous Ash vs the Evil Dead series. His last directing credit was Oz: The Great and the Powerful in 2013.
