I'll believe it when I see it. I would love to see the movie be completely based on the pulps, with only a hint of his origins. Think of how they drug out the Bourne series with clues leading to (in my opinion) a less than satisfying ending. But you get my drift, plan for a series but make the movies stand on their own.

[Melvin Creston Williams]

Yes, apparently Sam Raimi is quite busy with other projects right, pity. Oh, I must say that I agree with agent Joseph Booth.

Here's the latest news I could find:

"F.G. DeSanto spoke about the current Shadow feature he has in development with Michael Uslan and Sam Raimi, and that they're currently working on the second draft. It will be a period piece, and they're aiming to maintain a tonal consistency with the original material - it will not be an origin story and it will stay away from the previous movie.

Oh, and the Shadow may not be Lamont Cranston..."

I had not seen that interview with F.J. DeSanto. Great find, Melody. For anyone interested here is the link

Hopefully they will take it in that direction.

I'm curious how people feel about the new film (hopefully) following a bit of the chronology of the pulps. Specifically not having Margo appear until the end (or the sequel). Also, would you like to see the death of Claude Fellows and the introduction of Rutledge Mann? I like the idea of one of the Shadow's agents coming to an untimely end, showing the dangers that are faced by the men and women the Shadow employs.

I did always like the way The Shadow reacted so strongly to the death of Claude Fellows, plus Gangland's Doom is one of my favorites.
