Anything with Sam Raimi (of “Evil Dead” and “Spiderman” fame) is surely considered geek news. So here’s more geek stuff about Raimi teaming up with Columbia Pictures to bring the pulp action hero “The Shadow” to the big screen…again. Most of you will probably know that The Shadow fought crime on the big screen once before, in 1994 with Alec Baldwin putting on the prosthetic nose. No word on who will direct (Raimi will only produce), but according to The Hollywood Reporter, Columbia has tapped Siavash Farahani to pen the script. Who the hell is Siavash Farahani? Beats the hell outta me. He did something in 1999 called “Ingenue”, but nothing since.
