Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' regrets
Hero Complex contributor Gina McIntyre recently sat down with Sam Raimi to talk about his upcoming return to the horror genre, “ Drag Me to Hell ,” set for release later this month. She also quizzed the director on the status of other projects, too, namely the next “ Spider-Man ” installment and the long-discussed remake of his feature debut, “ The Evil Dead ,” which stands as an indie-horror classic. Check back here for the "Drag Me to Hell" piece,...

EXCLUSIVE: Sam Raimi Ponders Another Bruce Campbell Cameo For ‘Spider-Man 4’
Think of all the great combinations in life — peanut butter and jelly, peas and carrots, cookies and milk — and the pairing of Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi should rank very high on that list. Campbell, a self-parodying B-movie sensation, is an ever-present staple in Sam Raimi’s repertoire, whether as the heroic lead in “ Army of Darkness ” or as a clever cameo in the “ Spider-Man ” movie franchise. If Raimi has his way

Dunst is "In" for More 'Spider-Man' in a Completely Unofficial Capacity
For nearly a month, Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire have had their arms stretched to a center point, their hands overlapping, their eyes expectedly affixed on co-star Kirsten Dunst. Would she pile her hand into the center, say "I'm in" for a couple more Spider-Man movies, then do that thing where everyone in the hand-pile throws their hands up and cheers? She totally did, dudes! From MTV: “I’m in,” said [Dunst] matter of factly. Yessss! The old gang is back! Except that she quickly backtracked: Howeve

FINALLY Some Truth Regarding 'Evil Dead 4'
I am seriously fed up with hearing about EVIL DEAD 4. Every single thing reported is completely contradictory as Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell appear to want to do a sequel, and constantly tease that it might happen, only it never goes anywhere. Even beyond that, THE EVIL DEAD remake is still collecting dust. After nearly a decade of BS, I say, put your money where your mouth is. Thankfully, Bruce Campbell appears to be on his last straw too as he has given probably the most honest answer ever to the questio

Dunst on Spidey 4 & 5
Now that director Sam Raimi and series star Tobey Maguire have signed on for Spider-Man 4 and 5, fans have wondered whether Kirsten Dunst will also return for the sequels.

Drag Me To Hell’s New Poster is Hellishly Sexy
Maybe it’s just me, but this new poster for Sam Raimi’s return to kinda low budget horror “Drag Me to Hell” sure looks mighty tempting. It sort of reminds me of Raimi’s “Evil Dead” posters from all those ways back, with a girl in flimsy wear being accosted by bad, bad things, like demons from hell. I guess ol Sammy really is telling us this is his return to his glory days of abusing Bruce Campbell for a buck.

SAM RAIMI CONFIRMS SPIDEY 3'S 'TOO MANY COOKS' THEORY
that appear in the May issue of Empire. But I couldn't find the source online at the time, so let it go. (And I was going to write that post, in part, to joke about the fact that setting a summer delivery date for the Spidey 4 script was apparently news.) I'm still a little wary about running these quotes, because they're not currently on Empire's site. The original quote input seems to come from this Coventry Telegraph piece .

Ghost House developing Monkey's Paw, based on classic story

Which Villain Will Spider-Man Face Next?
Last week Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire both signed on for Spider-Man 4, agreeing to return to a franchise left very much in a state of flux after 2007's bloated Spider-Man 3. The comic book movie landscape has changed considerably since the last time Maguire donned the signature red-and-blue tights, thanks to this summer's game-changing blockbusters Iron Man and The Dark Knight. How will the Web-Slinger respond? Will Spider-Man 4 follow the genre's shift toward darker themes, or will it buck the

“I didn’t want ‘Y Tu Mama Tambien Two’”:  Carlos Cuaron Talks “Rudo y Cursi” and Cha Cha Cha
The making of “Rudo y Cursi” was like a big fat family reunion. This clan, though, is linked by creative affinities as well as blood ties.  And unlike many families that spring to mind, the “Rudo” collective is about mutual supportiveness and the celebration of brotherhood. Hard to sort out all the team’s affiliations, but here goes: “Rudo”‘s director/writer Carlos Cuaron is the younger brother of Alfonso Cuaron, director of “Y Tu Mama...

Kirsten Dunst Says She’s “In” For “Spider-Man 4″
You can’t exactly call it an official confirmation, but when asked by MTV about her Spider-Man 4 status, Kirsten Dunst said, “I’m in.” She quickly back-tracked on that though, telling them, “I’m not saying anything, I know there’s rumors…” Those rumors, of course, being fueled by fans less than satisfied with the actress’ less-than-impressive Mary Jane. Still, the Internet spit out a lot of hate for Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi too, and look what those guys ended
