Well it’s now been confirmed, Sam Raimi is going to produce a new “The Shadow” movie. Yahoo news gives us this:
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Columbia Pictures and “Spider-Man” director
Sam Raimi know. After a lengthy negotiation, the studio has acquired the screen rights to “The Shadow,” the legendary 1930s pulp hero, for a big-screen adaptation to be produced by Raimi and Josh Donen through their Buckaroo Entertainment banner. Raimi is not attached to direct at this time.
Meh, this means nothing to me. Who cares if Sam Raimi is “producing” the stupid thing. I was interested when I thought there was a chance the man would be actually DIRECTING The Shadow. As a producer, Raimi’s influence on the film will be minimal. Unless he’s the man in the chair, this story isn’t that interesting to me. However, whoever they get to direct, I am glad they’re bringing The Shadow back. As I mentioned the other day I just loved the Alec Baldwin version… good to see it making a return…. I just wish Raimi was directing it.
