The Shadow is one of the greatest comic book movies ever made. Ok yeah thats a bit of a huge stretch but it is a comic book movie at least. icon smile Sam Raimi Taps The Shadow Remake Alec Baldwins classic comic tale is being remade with Mr Raimi taking the helm to make it into a new classic for comic book fans. From Cinematical we get the following update;

Uslan has promised that the latest version would be a brand new take on the character — and Uslan’s cryptic description might leave visions of The Spirit dancing in your heads. “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. The Shadow may actually be many people.” But they’re also doing the proper research to stay true to the character. “We’ve gone back to the pulp roots, the comic book roots of The Shadow, with a dash of the radio roots. But we’ve deeply ensconced ourselves in the world of pulps and comics.”

I think if anyone can do it right its Sam Raimi. Although his production company seems stuck in sequel mode he has a TON of talent and I think could really deliver a kick ass film!
