Drag Me to Hell

shardian:
This is the down-side of The Lord of the Rings sucess - every ---smurfy--- movie in Hollywood gets granted at least a trilogy if it is even moderately sucessful.

ChadTower:

Yeah, I'm sure Star Wars or even the Godfather had nothing to do with that.

Just found this poking around:


--- Quote ---Did you know that director/writer Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Spider-Man) wrote a script for a Shadow movie? He even wanted Bruce Campbell (Army of Darkness, Spider-Man) to play the title role. Unfortunately, Raimi could not get the rights to the character, and had to rewrite the script and create a new hero.

Now that would have been pretty cool.

RTSDaddy2:
I've heard about Sam's interest in the Shadow, and I'd love to see that get done.

My family has had a long week - I know it's an odd film to go see to let off tensions, but I'm trying to drag as many of them as I can to "Drag Me to Hell" for my second viewing.  I want to see it again, but I want to see it with friends who HAVEN'T seen it this time....just to see their reactions!

That's old news. When he couldn't make it, he made Darkman instead.

AtomSmasher:
I just got back from seeing this and was extremely disappointed.
2/5

It's basically Evil Dead without Ash, and having a "straight man" (or woman in this case) in the leading role just doesn't work for this type of movie.  The comedic parts were just lame and the ending was so incredibly predictable.  I'm amazed this is getting as good of reviews as it is.

I don't know, maybe I'll give it a second try when it comes on HBO in a year or two and see if theres something I missed that made it so great.
