Posted by Michael Pinto on Dec 7, 2006 in Pulp Fiction |
It looks like several pulp fiction heroes from yesteryear like Doc Savage and the Shadow are headed to the silver screen:
Exclusive: Sam Raimi’s Pulp Fiction
“Several pulp heroes of yesteryear will be brought to life on the big-screen courtesy of none other than Dark Man and Spider-Man filmmaker Sam Raimi. The project would unite a number of famous pulp heroes from Street and Smith Publications, which had once been among the top pulp publishers. Characters that we were informed would be included in the film are Doc Savage, The Shadow and The Avenger, and quite possibly other (or all) major Street and Smith characters.”
