Sam Raimi developing and possibly direct Afghanistan War movie The Outpost

Inasmuch as we still grieve the fact that Sam Raimi is not in control of the Spider-man movies anymore, and that we still wish for him to make a new Evil Dead movie, once in a while Raimi has got to spread his wings outside of genre films. That's why it's a rather nice to hear news that Raimi will produce and supervise development of an adaptation of Jake Tapper’s book The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor with an eye towards possibly directing.  The nonfiction book chronicles the 2009 battle in Afghanistan, 14 miles from the Pakistani border, where 53 Americans were overrun by 400 Taliban fighters.  The conflict resulted in two Medal of Honor recipients, marking the first time the award has been given to two living soldiers for the same battle since 1968. Raimi will produce with Rob Tapert, and Paul Merryman will be co-producer. [hit the jump to continue]

Sam Raimi returns to the Evil Dead with Army of Darkness sequel

After really long years of waiting, Evil Dead geeks will finally get their Army of Darkness sequel. Fede Alvarez has confirmed [via his Twitter] that Sam Raimi will be directing the Evil Dead movie which will follow "Army of Darkness" a.k.a. "Evil Dead 3". When the Evil Dead movie directed by Fede Alvarez came out, it did not really catch up to the standards of the hardcore Evil Dead fans, but it did spark hope for a continuation of Raimi's original Evil Dead movies. In its last chapter which was entitled "Army of Darkness", the series' protagonist Ash found himself being stranded in medieval times and trying hard to get back to his own time. Now we get to see what happens to Ash now. If he did successfully end up back in his own time, or did he end up in a messed-up alternate future haunted by the Evil Dead... [hit the jump to continue]

Updated: Evil Dead will Not be Shown in Iloilo at all

I just received TERRIBLE news about this movie. EVIL DEAD will not be shown in Robinson's Movieworld. The previous news for this says that it will not be shown in SM Cinema as well because of their R-18 policy. Columbia Pictures Philippines has stated that the screening of this movie will only be for Ayala Cinemas, and so because there's no Ayala Cinema in Iloilo.... Basically, EVIL DEAD will not be shown in Iloilo at all. Wow. This does really encourage us all to resort to torrents, doesn't it? [READ THE FULL ARTICLE]

The World of Warcraft loses Raimi; hires Blood Diamond writer Charles Leavitt

The Journey into the World of Warcraft continues
by Reymundo Salao

At this point, everybody knows that Sam Raimi will not be doing the film adaptation of THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT because he has focused his attention on directing OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL instead. Yeah, it sucks, doesn't it? ...that Raimi will not be directing the fantasy epic and chose the Wizard of Oz prequel instead. But that doesn't mean that the W.o.W. movie wont be made; it's still a go. I don't think Legendary Entertainment will want to miss the opportunity to strike a film adaptation of it while its fame is still massively popular.
