Evil Dead Remake details!:
Producer Robert Tapert talked about the remake of Evil Dead! Original director Sam Raimi will also produce the remake and
it seems that he's the one who took charge of the whole project.
"It took a long time to get to the point where we wanted to remake it," said Tapert, "The funny thing is, nothing is as you would expect. Our original investors and I think, original Evil Dead star, Bruce Campbell, and myself were more resistant to remaking the movie than Sam.
Sam, in his own special way, kind of led that charge. . I think Sam was really the one who said, 'Gee, I would love to give a new filmmaker an opportunity to use that title and use their skills to retell this in a new way for a new audience.'
As long as we stay true to what was the original model of the first Evil Dead, which was that we want to hurt and punish the audience, then those who love it will be satisfied. We mean to bring that out to a whole new generation in something that honors all of the people that loved it and yet gives them a new and thrilling ride that they weren't expecting. That's the challenge, and hopefully if we succeed that's kind of the glory."
Well, I don't know about this remake but I'm glad Sam Raimi will be involved in making the film.

Miles Millar talks Smallville and Superman:
Smallville producer Miles Millar talked a bit about the TV series and Bryan Singer's feature film, Superman Returns;
"Bryan Singer's a fan of the show, and we sat down and had dinner with him and the writers of the movie, Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris, who we know as well. There's been much more of a dialogue than there was with the J.J. Abrams and McG movie. So it's been much better, and we really feel that we're attuned and aligned and know what each other is doing so we don't step on each other's toes. So we're really happy with how it's going."
That's great, hope the series won't get in the way of the film and vice versa of course.
