The Shadow Knows...

While I would agree that the 1994 version of "The Shadow" wasn't the greatest movie ever, I still do have to admit that I liked it. It was too campy, for sure, but I love the character so much and I think there were some moments in the movie that were spot-on.



Today, my unwavering faith in the iconic character has been supported with news that "Sony Pictures has acquired the screen rights to "The Shadow," the legendary 1930s pulp hero, for a big-screen adaptation to be produced by "Spider-Man" helmer Sam Raimi."

Apparently, the only reason that Raimi did "Darkman" is because he wasn't able to get the rights to "The Shadow". Regardless, this is awesome news and it just made my week. More information about the pending movie can be found here.
