Holy shit this is a perfect replacement if it works out.

 

[kunonabi]

Didnt care for his Spider-Man films at all but this is as perfect a fit as you could get.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

Stop-motion sequence please.

 

[kingbean]

I'd be down for that as long as it's not a spider-man 3 situation.

 

[Outpost #31]

I'm basically losing my shit right now OMFG!!!
This needs to happen holy shit!
Raimi is in my top 5 directors of all time. Easily.
Even though i absolutely loved the first Doctor Strange and am also a big fan of Derrickson's Sinister.... this, to me, is a big upgrade.

 

[Rentahamster]

God like if this actually happens

 

[sol_bad]

This is an even better outcome. Hope hope it becomes a reality.
wow

Feige has been friends with him for years.

 

[Punished Miku]

Sign me up. I'll watch anything from the producer of Timecop.

 

[triplestation]

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Would be a good fit for the horror element

 

[TheStruggler]

Magic Time

 

[GV82]

Groovy

 

[triplestation]

[Darkmakaimura]

Doctor Strange is the best. Hope Raimi can do a bang up job.

Fwiw Derrickson will still executive produce last I checked.

[triplestation]

my theory confirmed

 

[Tesseract]

please be true, by the lord of light and all its miracles

so stoked for this

 

[Southern Gentleman]

Let him in, and let him have complete creative control.

He hasn't directed one of his legendary meme-worthy superhero films since 2007.

Dig on *that.*

 

[Lionel Richie]

please be true, by the lord of light and all its miracles

Holy shit welcome back you legend.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

do it!

also Spider-Man 3 may be a shitshow, but it's the most entertaining shitshow. got me some rifftrax and it's the one Spider-Man i've seen the most.

 

[sol_bad]

So it's officially confirmed now?

Raimi has a great visual eye. If the script is good, the movie will be fantastic.

 

[TUROK]

Well, if they don't bitch out on the horror aspect, that'd be dope.

I HOPE they give Raimi a little roam to really explore some of the scarier aspects that are present in Doctor Strange comics. The comic has had some GREAT horror elements in the past.

It's PG-13 so make sure you keep your expectations in check.


*EDIT*
Just looked up Drag Me To Hell and that was PG-13 too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting Evil Dead or anything, but I think they could really walk up to that line and tell a good story. And like you said, Drag Me To Hell was Pg-13 and they did some fantastic stuff with that movie.

 

[black_13]

That'd be amazing!

 

[LMJ]

Now the real question is where will the Bruce Campbell cameo be

 

[Sub_Level]

I guess you could say they're going back to formula.
