20th Century Fox now owns the rights to the character “The Shadow,” and are looking to make a new movie. A number of different directors have been attached to this project. Sam Raimi was looking to make this his next project after Spider-Man fell through for him. Then, David Slade was attached eyeing a 2012 release. Now we have a new name in the mix that is slightly more interesting.
Quentin Tarantino is now the big name tied to the project. It is being said that he is either officially attached or in negotiations to both re-write the script and sit in the director’s chair. I am not the biggest Tarantino fan, but there are plenty of people that are. It would certainly be an interesting take on the character. This is still all in the rumor stage so time will tell what happens with this project.

I'm with you, Tim. I really liked the Baldwin picture, especially Penelope Ann Miller in that oh-so-filmy gown.
But I like Tarantino too.
I look on it as being able to enjoy the old Mike Kaluta Shadow comics, the Howard Chaykin mini(s?), and the Sienkewicz ongoing series for each of their distinct qualities.
