THE SHADOW Knows Sam Raimi!!

Merrick here...

Sam Raimi is bringing back THE SHADOW, whose rights were recently acquired by Columbia.
Siavash Farahani is already locked to write the script.

While Raimi will produce the film, there's no news about whether he'll direct THE SHADOW -- his continuance with the SPIDER-MAN franchise is unclear post SPIDER-MAN 3 & this would certainly seem like a logical possibility. Then again, he may opt for a different genre for his next film...a change of pace...considering how damn long he's been with Spidey.

The last time THE SHADOW hit the big screen was back in 1994 - Russell Mulcahy's version starring Alec Baldwin. 'Twas well produced but lackluster and sloppy (i.e. your standard Mulcahy film); it'll be fun to see what Raimi and company bring to the table this time around.
