From the man who brought you Xena, Hercules, The Grudge, M.A.N.T.I.S., The Evil Dead, The Amazing Spiderman and so much, much more – now coming to the silver screen – Sam Raimi’s Pulp Fiction!

Too much hype? OK, I’ll tone it down a notch or two. Dark Man and Spiderman’s Sam Raimi will be bringing some of our favorite heroes from pulp to the big screen. Characters like “The Shadow” and “Doc Savage” or “The Avenger.”

Raimi plans on getting many of the famous pulp characters from the Street and Smith publications together for a romp on film.

Raimi’s exact role could not be confirmed so it’s possible he might just produce the film via his Ghost House Pictures shingle. But it’s just as possible that he might also make it a post Spiderman directing effort, according to IGN.

While a stab at a Doc Savage shoot was looked at in the past from the likes of James Cameron and Arnold Swartzenegger and dropped, sadly The Shadow was brought to the screen in 1994 with Alec Baldwin as the title character, and the film was a huge disappointment to fans – not so much Baldwin’s performance as Lamont Cranston/The Shadow as it was the direction that director Russell Mulcahy decided to take it. Hopefully, if this story turns out to be more than just mere speculation, Raimi will do a much better treatment of The Shadow’s re-emergence to the big screen.
