Sam Knows Evil...


Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men...

Sam Raimi, that's who. This rumor has been surculating for years. It's been known that he was going to/wanting to make a new version of "The Shadow" but up until now it's been assumed that he would simply produce the film. Now comes word (and a script review) from IESB that this indeed could be Sam's next directing gig and it could be made through Sony.

I love serials and I love old pulp fiction, which is in itself a variation on those serials. I adore the Shadow, but Doc Savage is my all time fave. Still, I have a framed poster on my wall of a classic Shadow tale known as "The Grove of Doom." Sam is someone that I'd trust with this king of project. He knows the material and understands how it can be adapted proper and faithful. I await more info.

I'm standing by with my secret decoder ring...

Raimi already remade The Shadow. It was called "Darkman."

Two days later, and it still reads surculating?

Nice blog, interesting postings, but occasionaly attrocious grammar.

By the way, I like the comment moderation, you've managed to weed out the rabid talkbacks. Feel free to delete this one as well.

As for the subject, I like this news. We don't need another Spider-Man movie, time for something new from Mr Raimi. This could be very good.

I love the Shadow. I grew up listening to old recordings of the radio show, so I hope this one gets made and made well.

My grandpa loved The Shadow on the radio. This sounds pretty interesting to me!
