good to see Raimi getting in on the marketing stuff too, but does he really want to remind us about SpiderMan 3?

If they can make a film that comes even close to the style and scope of the original I'll be happy.

What is it with marketing calling every bloody director "visionary"? Admittedly, that does kind of fit for Raimi, but I remember the trailer for Watchmen that referred to Zack Snyder as "The visionary director of 300...". That seemed to be a bit of hyperbole to be honest - I tend to think of Snyder as being at the same level as the visionary director of Die Hard 4.0.

Maybe one day we'll get a film from "The visionary director or...er...Visionaries"

Personally I would hesitate to bracket Zack Snyder in the same category as Len Wiseman. I think Zack Snyder has dropped in people's estimations since that movie with all the scantily-clad ladies in that asylum (the name escapes me), but I still think he has a lot more to offer than Mr. Wiseman.

Sam Raimi is a visionary though!

Agreed. Snyders films definitely are visionary but the story an script is sometimes lacking...

That was probably a bit harsh of me to be honest - whilst I still wouldn't call Snyder 'visionary' he does at least bring some flair to proceedings and you know you're watching a Snyder film - he did a decent job with Watchmen and I am genuinely looking forward to Man of Steel. I still have zero interest in Sucker Punch (the scantily-clad asylum inmates film) as it doesn't look remotely enjoyable, but at least it was an original idea (I think).

Wiseman just seems to be a journeyman hack-for-hire.

However, edging back towards the topic at hand: Raimi is the Oz to their flying monkeys.

I might purchase Darkman...
