The Shadow Is Coming Soon, Or Is It?

Veteran producer Michael Uslan, who helped bring us every Batman movie to date, (even the shit ones) has been talking about his upcoming remake of The Shadow.

Okay, I know it’s more of an adaptation of the comic than a remake of 1994’s Alec Baldwin-driven “classic” but who knows how to phrase these things anymore?

Anyway, he’s been talking about it and had a few interesting things to say…

“I think the one thing going in is we all see The Shadow as more of a force of nature than a specific person in a secret identity, The Shadow may actually be many people.”

“We’ve gone back to the pulp roots, the comic book roots of The Shadow, with a dash of the radio roots,” added Uslan. “But we’ve deeply ensconced ourselves in the world of pulps and comics.”

Alrighty then, when is it coming out?

“Sam [Raimi] and Josh Donen are my partners and we have it set up Sony, and a wonderful writer named Siavash Farahani who has worked for me before is writing the screenplay,” Uslan said. “It’s coming along great, we’re very excited about it. You know, it takes time to nurture these things. You probably know all the stories. The first ‘Batman’ film took me 10 years to get made.”

So, it’s coming out within the next 10 years?

Sounds peachy.
