Not only will Sam Raimi DRAG ME TO HELL, But Everyone Else At the Paramount Theater during SXSW!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... It has been my distinct honor on many occasions to be very honored to get to introduce certain screenings... but this first Sunday of SXSW this year is a doozy. Not only do I get to personally introduce Sam Raimi to a midnight audience... but I get to introduce Sam, who has brought a work in progress print of DRAG ME TO HELL to screen for all of us!
Now I know - we all wish Sam would just stop with this horror obsession and stick to SPIDER-MAN (THAT IS A JOKE), so you probably won't want to come out to see Sam and a new Raimi bit of badass fun as hell Horror (at least if you believe Quint) - but I'm thrilled. To have 1200 screaming Sam Raimi horror nuts take over the Paramount theater just to have their collective shit scared out of their bodies. Well... it will be an epic night! I hope to see a lot of you there!

SXSW would be dope. Good times.
-
Sure he will make a cameo. Eh? Get it? I crack myself up.And why not try to get a Spidey 4 scoop, if there is anything to talk about.
-
... between this and "Observe And Report" and all the goddamn barbecue... I am so pleased I'm coming to SXSW this year for the first time ever. Nice timing.
-
Nobody wants to see some teen horror film from you.
-
Based on the previews I've seen, it looks slow and boring. No part of the preview made me laugh, anyway.
Hopefully the real thing will be better than the previews. -
A Chapstick with every purchase.

Let the guy do something more than a Spider-Man movie or a fucking piece of shit Evil Dead! When he branches out his films can be really good, like A SIMPLE PLAN or even the THE GIFT!
-
I would be honored to be honored to do that, too!
I love Horror.
And, honor.
Honor! -
Raimi needs to be back in splatter-horror movie form once again...Peter Jackson as well, for that matter.
-
Not to be critical of Raimi, but really, what's with the Work in Progress tag? I mean, shouldn't it be ready by now? It's due out in May. I'm sure he's still tweaking and stuff right up to the release, as a lot of hands-on filmmakers do, but he's been testing it for months and for it to still be a work in progress makes me wonder and gives me doubts. I really, really want this to be good but I don't think it will be. I hope Raimi proves me wrong. A Simple Plan was one of the top-3 films of 98.
-
to call Spiderman three a wonderful opus...
-
...of poop
-
Raimi has never made a film better than Evil Dead 2.
-
Just out of curiosity - which 8 of these following 10 1998 films is Simple Plan better than? Run Lola Run, American History X, Big Lebowski, Lock Stock 2 Smoking Barrels, Happiness, Saving Private Ryan, Rushmore, Pi, Elizabeth. Maybe, possibly, in top 10, but top 3? That's a bold statement indeed.

Ooops - thats 9 ... how about Fear and Loathing for 10
by jackrabbitslim
Id be hard pressed to put Raimi's effective but still rote genre piece over any of those. But that's just me.
-
No one gives a shit about For Love of the Game.
-
Am not sure I want an out and out scary flick from Raimi. Something between Evil Dead 1 and 2 would be just perfect.

How long ago was that screening? And then the preview? When can I see that movie?
-
IMDB says it's being released 4/24, but who knows........
-
Is this only for SXSW peeps, or will there be other tixkets available?
-
Or is it for SXSW badge holders only?
-
He agreed to make Legend of the Seeker, and then instead he sold it to a bunch of hacks at ABC/Disney. Someone ask him why he screwed over the author. And yeah, WHERE IS TRICK R TREAT?!
-
No Shit!how long ago was that trailer released?i think i saw it on the scanner darkly dvd.i thought wow that actualy looks pretty fucking scary.You'd think with all anna paquin's sucess from True Blood they would try and capitalize on it
-
After how awful Spiderman 3 was, that kind of surprises me. I guess a lot of people prefer to remember the glory days.
-
It has been my distinct honor...to be very honored... Not only do I get to personally introduce Sam Raimi... but I get to introduce Sam...
-
I know most internet users are too stupid to get a joke, but come on...

Raimi DO NOT MAKE EVIL DEAD 4. Remember INDY IV!!

everyone is too old and fat.
-
I just wanna be there for the BBQ and hoes down on 5th, 6th, and 7th streets - actually, I'd rather the BBQ then the college hoes. Sorry - naked woman or BBQ .... I'm going with the food. VERY JEALOUS!
-
Ask Raimi about-he has the rights to the Dennis Lehane book, The Given Day about Boston's north end and Babe Ruth. Mark Wahlberg should be cast as Danny the cop.
-
Now that he has some "Hollywood Capital", I think we would all like to see a new Evil Dead. Bring back Ash, wrinkles, fat and all, and throw a massive budget at him!
You know you all want it! -
Just leave well enough alone Sam. I'd say the same about the Spider-Man franchise but it appears I'm too late for that one.
-
There's like a billion of them.

Is there a director in hollywood you haven't sucked off yet Harry?
-
I will wait for good worth of mouth before I spend 10 or 20 bucks if the girlfriend goes with before I see another raimi movie. I know every director is aloud one bad film but that sucker was nuclear
-
He is a man-god. Like Peter Jackson & Del Toro. Well many others. But I would shit and pee myself big time. We are talking the honey moon is over shit.
