Synopsis Evil Dead director Sam Raimi takes the helm for this spook-a-blast shocker about an ambitious L.A. loan officer who incurs the wrath of a malevolent gypsy by refusing to grant her an extension on her home loan. Determined to impress her boss and get a much-needed promotion at work, Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) lays down the law when mysterious Mrs. Ganush literally comes begging for mercy at her feet. In retaliation for being publicly shamed, Mrs. Ganush places the dreaded curse of Lamia on her unfortunate target, transforming Christine’s life into a waking nightmare. Her skeptical boyfriend Clay (Justin Long) casually brushing off her disturbing encounters as mere coincidence, Christine attempts to escape eternal damnation by seeking out the aid of seer Rham Jas (Dileep Rao ). But Christine’s time is fast running out, and unless she’s able to break the curse, she’ll be tormented by a demon for three days before literally being dragged to hell. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
Can you picture The Hobbit without director Peter Jackson at the helm? Read on:
With the icy relationship between Lord of the Rings filmmaker Peter Jackson and New Line seemingly starting to thaw, reports of other directors being linked to The Hobbit seem to have subsided. However, there’s still the possibility that Jackson and New Line will not kiss and make up, and even if they do it could be that Jackson will choose to simply produce the film. If either of those scenarios play out, who might take the reins?
The other director most talked about for The Hobbit has been Spider-Man helmer Sam Raimi. Raimi, who produced the new vampire horror flick 30 Days of Night through his Ghost House Pictures production company, says he’d still love to be considered for the project if Jackson is not in the director’s chair.

We found this video of Sam Raimi (on IGN.com) discussing the plans for Spider-man 4. Read on:
As Spider-Man 3 crawls out of theaters after its blockbuster run, director Sam Raimi is finally speaking more candidly about what he’d like to see happen in Spider-Man 4 and whether he will direct it.
When asked by MTV.com if he’d return to the director’s chair for the fourth installment, Raimi said, “If I can’t find the right story that would work for me and that I could tell really well, I would like someone else to tell that story. … But if it’s a great story and Sony will bring me back to the screen, I would love to.”
So who would he like to have battle Spidey next time around? “I would love to see Electro, Vulture, maybe the Sinister Six as a team. … But [Spider-Man 4] will probably have to start with the central journey of the main character to arrive at the proper villain.”

Japan will get the world premiere for Spider-Man 3. Read on:
The Spider-Man 3 news is coming fast and furious at the moment, first with this weekend’s Venom-specific WonderCon trailer and today with the news from Variety that the sequel will open first in Japan on May 1st. The film will also have its world premiere in Tokyo.
The red carpet event will be held at the Toho Cinemas Roppongi Hills in central Tokyo on April 16, with director Sam Raimi, Spidey co-creator Stan Lee, and stars Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco all in attendance. The May 1st date was only recently decided on for the film’s debut; that’ll put it three days ahead of when American audiences will get to see the continued adventures of Peter Parker on May 4th.

If the rumors surrounding the The Hobbit are to be believed, Jackson is out and Raimi is in. Read on:
After New Line and Peter Jackson’s recent and very public spat over the proposed film version of The Hobbit (the next movie in the The Lord of the Rings series), the question of who might direct said picture in place of Jackson has come up often. Spider-Man uber-director Sam Raimi’s name was rumored last fall as a possible replacement for Jackson, but there was no real indication that he was considering the job. As such, that particular whisper went away like so much Internet chatter… but now that’s all changed.
The Los Angeles Times is reporting today that Raimi has been talking to “associates, as well as his corporate masters at Sony” and telling them that he is considering taking over the directorial reigns of The Hobbit. The paper, which to say the least has slightly more journalistic integrity than your average J.R.R. Tolkien messageboard, also cites two “top-level insiders” who claim to have heard this directly from Raimi.
