SAM RAIMI’S NEXT PROJECT?
Wed, Dec 6, 2006
According to IGN, Spider-Man 3 director Sam Raimi’s next project may be bringing “Doc Savage”, “The Avenger” and “The Shadow” to the big screen with a film based on Street and Smith Publications’ pulp heroes. Sources have linked Sam Raimi as being attached to direct the project with Siavash Farahani writing the screenplay. In addition to the Raimi project, Screenwriter Farahani is also working on the film adaptation of the video game franchise, Max Payne.
“The Shadow” was previously brought to the big screen in 1994 with the title character played by Alec Baldwin. That $40 million Universal production was a box-office flop generating only $32 million at U.S. theaters.
