So Much for Sony Doing Raimi’s “Shadow”
Not even “The Shadow” knows his next home. Sony has let the film rights to the seminal crime-fighting vigilante lapse, so the Sam Raimi-produced project has gone into turnaround. CAA, which reps Raimi, is preparing to shop the rights, with Raimi attached to produce. One possible suitor is 20th Century Fox. Raimi has long been interested in “The Shadow.” He tried to get the rights in the late 1980s, but couldn’t so he created his own superhero and made the film “Darkman.”
