There’s an intense new thriller on Netflix worth checking out titled Don’t Move, which was directed by Adam Schindler and Brian Netto, and produced by Sam Raimi. It’s a seriously great movie!
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the directing duo was asked if they have any dream projects they’d like to work on and they mentioned two films, Darkman and a live-action Miles Morales movie, which they talked with Raimi about.
Schindler said: “If we’re talking Sam-related, it’s Darkman. We talked about Darkman [with him]. We’ve got a love and an affinity for Darkman.”
Netto added: “Darkman was my favorite film for a good portion of my life. It was the movie, so Darkman would be really interesting. At some point, they’re going to take a crack at Miles Morales in live-action.”
Schindler then said: “We talked about that [with Sam] too.”
While they talked to Raimi about these things it doesn’t mean they will get the chance to direct them. When it comes to Miles Morales that’s a Sony Pictures decision, but I do think that the two filmmakers should at least be given the opportunity to make their pitch to the studio.
After watching Don’t Move, I think they’ve got a strong filmmaking and storytelling talent.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige recently talked about the future of Miles Morales and said: “Miles will appear in the third Spider-Verse, which is in production. I hope that, shortly after that, he can enter the MCU in live-action.”
Raimi will be returning to the MCU to helm Doctor Strange 3 for Marvel Studios, but I would certainly love to see him get the opportunity to get another shot playing with Spider-Man again.
