ROTTEN TOMATOES: A Pair of (Potential) New Projects for Sam Raimi

A Pair of (Potential) New Projects for Sam Raimi

by Scott Weinberg | July 02, 2007

And interestingly enough, both of 'em are high-concept sci-fi movies that'd probably fit Mr. Raimi to a tee.

According to Latino Review, Sam Raimi is being offered two different projects for his "Spider-Man 3" follow-up. One is an adaptation of Whitley Streiber's "The Grays," which tells the story of a "universal" United Nations that keeps itself hidden on Earth. Neato.

The second project is presently called "No Man's Land," and producer Walter Parkes describes the package as "War of the Worlds meets Chinatown." Now there's an interesting combination. FX wiz Rick Baker is already at work on "No Man's Land," which might have to change its title to something less generic if they want people to remember it. (Plus it's been used a few times before.)

Whatever Raimi chooses for his next flick, you can definitely read about it here.

Haven't read the book, but that first idea sounds a bit...like the really bad 80s Twilight Zone episodes...kinda lame.

The second one could be good, but that's a very vague description.

Since when has Sam really specialized in "High concept sci-fi" I love the guy and worship the evil dead series and the first two Spidermans, but high concept they ain't.

They BOTH sound like Men in Black knock-offs.

With Parkes overseeing matters, how could they not?

Perhaps they could switch [i]No Man's Land[/i] to [i]Your Mother's a Whore and Your Sister Is Too.[/i] That'll stir the ADD crowd.

I was wondering how long RT would last without posting another 'maybe' Sam Raimi article about nothing. Geesh, Raimi must have the same PR people working for him that Paris Hilton has.

He needs to either do Spidey 4, a new Evil Dead or the Hobbit. Anything else is a disappointment.
