‘Evil Dead’ Coming Back to the Big Screen

ed-evil-dead-poster

The original Evil Dead from director Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) is coming back to theaters!

SAM RAIMI’S ‘THE EVIL DEAD’ RETURNS TO THE BIG SCREEN!

‘The Ultimate Experience in Grueling Horror’ is Back!

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - Grindhouse Releasing is bringing Sam Raimi’s original horror classic THE EVIL DEAD back to the big screen as a midnight movie.

Raimi and producers Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell gave the go-ahead for a series of EVIL DEAD revival screenings to Grindhouse Releasing partner Bob Murawski, the film editor of Raimi’s SPIDER MAN 1, 2 & 3, DRAG ME TO HELL and the EVIL DEAD sequel ARMY OF DARKNESS.

Stephen King hailed THE EVIL DEAD as “the most ferociously original film of the year”? when the film premiered in 1981. Shot in Michigan and Tennessee, Raimi’s low-budget debut was released independently with a self-imposed ‘No One Under 17′ rating for its graphic violence and gore.

Dates and venues will be announced at GrindhouseReleasing.com. For bookings, contact David Szulkin at info@grindhousereleasing.com.

This is truly a horror classic, watching this movie shows the foundation  of all of Sam Raimi’s newer films. This is definitive Sam Raimi.

Dylan Baker Returning for ‘Spider-Man 4′, as The Lizard?

dylan_bakerspiderman_lizard

Well it’s a fact that Dylan Baker is returning for Spider-Man 4, but will he make his fated transformation into The Lizard?

Baker is coming back for another go around in the Spider-Man film franchise.

You may recall that he appeared in the most recent two Spider-Man films as Dr. Curt Connors, the man who - as per the comics at least - is fated to turn into Spidey’s scaly foe, The Lizard.

A source for UGO was there at the Q&A, and reported on Baker and Dougherty’s comments. There seemed to be some joking going on, helping to keep the truth about Baker’s role rather fuzzy. Though we don’t know what size of role Baker is up for this time, I think we can be sure that it’s true he’s had the call and he’s coming back to the Empire State University for more.

By the 4th film you would think they could have him go through the transformation, Spidey needs better foes than last go-around. In any case Baker returning is good news, hopefully it will be his big villainous debut!

‘Venom’ Moving to Next Stages of Development

venom

Venom is slowly coming together and moving forward.

SCI FI Wire got a chance to talk to Zombieland co-writer Paul Wernick about the script for “Spider-Man” spin-off Venom that he wrote with Rhett Reese.

“We’ve written two drafts of Venom, and the studio has it, and they’re pushing forward in whatever ways they push forward,” Wernick said. He was tight-lipped about whether there was a relationship between Spider-Man 4 and theVenom project.

“We can’t really talk about that, unfortunately,” he added. “Basically, the studio and Marvel and the Arads are taking our drafts and going beyond and figuring out what’s the next step.”

This movie needs to be really high quality, the story needs to be solid. Venom needs to be somebody completely different than the version played by Topher Grace in Spider-Man 3, he was just all wrong for that part.

‘Drag Me to Hell’ Director Sam Raimi Producing New Horror, ‘Refuge’

sam_raimi_newyeti

Sam Raimi, director of Drag Me to Hell, Evil Dead and the Spider-Man movies is producing a new horror film called Refuge.

Sam Raimi has signed on to produce supernatural horror film Refuge, based on a pitch from up-and-coming British director Corin Hardy. The project has been set up at Mandate.

Refuge centers on a remote town terrorized by a Yeti, the mythological creature native to the mountains of the Himalayas. Hardy will direct from a script by fellow British writer Tom De Ville.

Any horror that he’s attached to I have some interest in. Hopefully he has a strong influence on it to make it good. It’s going to be hard to make a yeti really scary, but hopefully it will at least be fun!

spiderman_logo-thumb-500x269-12364

Spider-Man 4 has an official release date. And that date is May 6th, 2011.

Columbia Pictures confirmed that the fourth installment in the comicbook franchise, based on the popular Marvel character, will unspool in both traditional and Imax theaters on the date, making it the first summer tentpole that year.

Finally they have decided on a date, that means that work will have to begin very soon on this one, given it’s only a year and 4 months off.

Sam Raimi to Direct ‘Warcraft’

sam_raimi_newworld-of-warcraft

Director Sam Raimi (Spider Man 1-3) has signed on to direct the film Warcraft, based on the popular video game.

“Legendary Pictures and vidgame publisher Blizzard Entertainment are mounting the film, and Warner Bros. will co-finance and distribute.

The team boasts an impressive pedigree: In addition to the director of “Spider-Man,” the partners have added “The Dark Knight” producer Charles Roven to the creative mix.

The plan is for Raimi to supervise development of “Warcraft” and shoot the picture after he completes work on “Spider-Man 4,” which gets under way early next year for Columbia Pictures.

The movie will be financed under the Legendary Pictures’ co-production and co-financing deal with WB, in a manner similar to the Todd Phillips-directed “The Hangover” plus the Roven-produced “Batman Begins” and “Dark Knight.”

This is extremely surprising news to me, I’m very curious to see what kind movie this is going to be. It’s a given that it’s a fantasy, but with Sam Raimi at the helm it’s should be a very interesting pic.

‘Spider-Man 4′ Getting Second Re-Write by Gary Ross

spiderman-4

Spider-Man 4 is getting re-written again, this time by Gary Ross, director of Seabiscuit and Pleasantville.

Sam Raimi will again direct the Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios project that will go into production early next year.

The Spider-Man 4 script was originally written by James Vanderbilt, and then rewritten by David Lindsay-Abaire.

The fourth installment is scheduled for a May 6, 2011 release.

I’m hoping with all of these re-writes it’s going to come out better than Spider-Man 3, that was a terrible movie.

Will ‘Spider-Man 4′ Be in 3D?

spidey3d

There’s a chance that the next Spider-Man film will be in 3D. 

Forbes talked to Sony Pictures Entertainment’s co-chairmen Amy Pascal and Michael Lynton and asked whether they were considering doing Spider-Man 4 in 3-D.

Pascal answered, “Could be,” while Lynton added, “People are paying a premium to see movies in 3-D and that’s a very big deal. It’s never been done before that someone says you have to pay more to see Spider-Man than a romantic comedy.”

I like 3D but I think it needs to be perfected more before it becomes a standard in the industry. I guess they will just do it if people are willing to pay a little extra for it . I imagine by May 6, 2011 (Spidey 4’s release date) 3D will be much more of a standard format.

Talking ‘Spider-Man 4′ and ‘Evil Dead’ Remake with Sam Raimi

Here’s what Sam Raimi said about Spider-Man 4 and a possible Evil Dead remake. 

Spider-Man 4Raimi tells MTV that while there has been talk of a fifth film, he is currently only developing “just that one film”, Spider-Man 4. Tobey Maguire is set to return, but no announcement has been made regarding Kirsten Dunst. Raimi insist that he “can’t imagine making a Spider-Man movie without Kirsten”. And while he wouldn’t reveal any plot details, he did confirm that they are “working from all the material in the comic books and nothing [invented] outside of that.” And he tells IGN that he is “in the earliest stages of working with the writer,” and is “closing in on Spider-Man’s adversary or adversaries.”

The director also tells IGN that he has been talking with his partners about “having a young director come in and remake Evil Dead.” The reason he gives for the remake is that the original film was made “in 16mm on a shoestring budget” with mono sound, and he would like to see what Evil Dead would look like with a real budget and real effects.

“It was always meant for the big screen, but never really seen on the big screen,” Raimi tells IGN. “What you could do with it now would be so much better.”

I really hope he can make Spider-Man 4 better than the last one.

spidey4-5

Even though many people couldn’t care less, Spider-Man 4 has an official release date. That date is May 6, 2011. 

The studio and Marvel Entertainment have set a release date of May 6, 2011 for the film, which means once again Spidey will have ruined your summer before Memorial Day.

The most recent Spider-Man movie really left a bad taste in my mouth for this franchise, hopefully Sam Raimi can bring back the freshness of the first two films in this next entry.

New Details on Sam Raimi’s ‘The Shadow’

MTV got some new info on the upcoming new movie The Shadow. The film is being produced by Sam Raimi andMichael Uslan. Here is what Uslan said:

I think the one thing going in is we all see The Shadow as more of a force of nature than a specific person in a secret identity, Uslan told MTV in an exclusive interview. The Shadow may actually be many people.

Weve gone back to the pulp roots, the comic book roots of The Shadow, with a dash of the radio roots, added Uslan. But weve deeply ensconced ourselves in the world of pulps and comics.

Sounds cool to us, but that begged the question of when well see this Shadow revamp hit the multiplex.

Sam [Raimi] and Josh Donen are my partners and we have it set up Sony, and a wonderful writer named Siavash Farahani who has worked for me before is writing the screenplay, Uslan said. Its coming along great, were very excited about it. You know, it takes time to nurture these things. You probably know all the stories. The first Batman film took me 10 years to get made.

With these guys working on it, you can bet it’s going to be vastly different from the 1994 Alec Baldwin version.

‘Spider-Man 4′ Will Shoot in 2010

News about casting and shooting schedule have come down the line for the upcoming Spider-Man 4.J.K. Simmons will return as The Daily Bugle publisher.

The fourth film in the blockbuster Spider-Man franchise will begin shooting in 2010, actor J.K. Simmons told MTV News at Sundance, revealing that hell continue in the role ofDaily Buglepublisher J. Jonah Jameson. I saw Sam [Raimi] at his Christmas party.

The news appears to confirm earlierreportsthat Sony was looking towards a May 2011 release.

BothSam Raimiand Tobey Mcguire are expected to return, but have yet to formally commit. Kirsten Dunst is also up in the air, although the actress hasvoiced her willingnessto continue as Peter Parkers love interest.

I was honestly expecting a little faster movement towards this sequel. Hopefully they are taking the time to make the script worth it.
