Raimi in 2014

The following is a list of unproduced Sam Raimi projects in roughly chronological order. During his long career, American film director and producer Sam Raimi has worked on a number of projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction. Some of these projects, are officially cancelled and scrapped or fell in development hell.

As director

[edit]

The Guardian

[edit]

In the late 1980s, Raimi was initially attached to The Guardian, based on the 1987 book The Nanny by Dan Greenburg, but left in order to direct Darkman instead. According to screenwriter Stephen Volk, he and Raimi developed it as an "Omen-esque" horror film with set-pieces bordering on parody, but when William Friedkin replaced him, the script was rewritten from scratch.[1]

Thor

[edit]

In 1990, after finishing with the filming of Darkman, Raimi pitched, along with Marvel Comics writer Stan Lee, the concept of a Thor feature film to 20th Century Fox. However, they didn't understand Raimi's and Lee's idea and the project was abandoned.[2] A film based on the Thor property was released years later in 2011 and directed by Kenneth Branagh, as the fourth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe under Paramount Pictures.

Jack Frost

[edit]

In 1994, Raimi was attached to direct Jack Frost, then under the working title of Frosty the Snowman.[3] He and his brother Ivan Raimi had performed a rewrite on the screenplay written by Mark Steven Johnson, but after George Clooney dropped out of the film,[4] Raimi would leave a couple months later. Troy Miller would eventually replace him.[5]

The Wee Free Men

[edit]

In January 2006, Raimi was set to direct The Wee Free Men based on the book of the same name by Terry Pratchett, but in December 2009 Pratchett said that he had "got the rights to the book back" after reading the proposed screenplay.[6][7]

The Hobbit

[edit]

On April 18, 2007, Raimi stated that he was open to direct the long time planned The Hobbit film adaptation[8] that was already planned since 1995.[9] However, it was finally decided to divide the book in three films and on April 24, 2008, Mexican film director Guillermo del Toro was selected to direct the film and Peter Jackson was selected to produce it.[10] The films were finally released in 2012, 2013, and 2014 directed by Jackson and written by del Toro.[11]

Evil Dead 4

[edit]

On May 3, 2007, Raimi announced that after completing Spider-Man 3 he along his brother Ivan would work on Evil Dead 4, a sequel to Raimi's Army of Darkness and the fourth installment in the Evil Dead film series.[12] On July 26, 2008, Raimi stated that Ivan was writing a script for Evil Dead 4.[13] On March 26, 2009, Raimi stayed that Ivan had finished the Evil Dead 4 script.[14] In a 2011 Reddit post, Bruce Campbell remarked that Oz the Great and Powerful was keeping Raimi occupied.[15] The franchise was later rebooted in 2013 with Fede Álvarez as director. Plans for a fourth "Evil Dead" movie eventually evolved into the television series Ash Vs. Evil Dead, which served as a sequel to Army of Darkness and a conclusion to the character of Ash Williams.

Spider-Man 4

[edit]

Around 2007, after the release of Spider-Man 3, it was announced that Spider-Man 4 was in development and that Raimi would direct it, while Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and the other members of the cast were attached to reprise their roles.[16] Also, it was announced that the fourth Spider-Man film was to be shot back-to-back with Spider-Man 5, while Spider-Man 6 was also in development,[17] but Raimi finally decided to only shoot Spider-Man 4 at that moment. James Vanderbilt was to write the film and its two planned sequels;[18] although David Koepp was also considered to write it.[19] Also, on December 8, 2009, it was reported John Malkovich was slated to portray the Vulture while Anne Hathaway was slated to portray Black Cat.[20] Bruce Campbell was planned to have another cameo appearance,[21] potentially as Mysterio.[22][23] However, on January 11, 2010, it was officially reported that Sony Pictures had cancelled the production of Spider-Man 4 after Raimi concluded that he was not going to be able to release the film in time with a not so exciting script.[24] The franchise was later rebooted in 2012 with Marc Webb as director.

[edit]

Raimi was reportedly the first choice to direct but the film did not get past the early development stage with no public announcements on the project ever made. Sony also reportedly considered inviting Raimi to do another solo trilogy with Tobey Maguire following the critically lukewarm reception and financial underperformance of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), but this came to nothing.[36] and Spider-Man was ultimately integrated into the MCU.

In a post on Tumblr Grillo-Marxuach made the statement that they will be "fully exploring a relationship that could only be shown subtextually in first-run syndication in the 1990s,"[93] which several websites such as The Guardian[94] and Newsweek[95] have taken it to mean "Xena will be an out and proud lesbian."[95] These articles have resulted in frustration from fans regarding the apparent erasure of Xena's bisexuality, but Grillo-Marxuach has answered "it feels like – from a few sentences – everyone has already made up their mind about what it is I am doing. I would prefer people be surprised by the story."[96] In April 2017, Grillo-Marxuach announced that he had left the project because of "insurmountable creative differences."[97] On August 21, 2017, NBC announced that it had cancelled its plans for the reboot.
