Now that he’s been dumped by SPIDER-MAN franchise, Sam Raimi is looking for work. He’s attached to direct the WORLD OF WARCRAFT movie – which could be awesome in his hands (and I don’t even play the game) – but he might be itching to do another superhero flick. His way this time.
IESB is reporting that Raimi is looking to direct THE SHADOW, a flick he was once set to produce-only (he’s been involved with it since 2006). Apparently the script, by relative newbie Siavash Farahanl, is top-notch, with some heavy violence and nudity. (According to IESB’s reviewer, one sequence involves a man falling into a meat grinder.) To read the lengthy script analysis, head on over HERE.
If you’re not familiar with The Shadow, the character has a long history. Originally conceived as a radio drama in the 1930s, the vigilante with the ability to “cloud men’s minds” has appeared in multiple mediums since: comics, t.v., and even a forgettable movie starring Alec Baldwin in 1994.
