What happened to the Shadow?

[Blackjack]

I remember last year hearing that a remake of the 1994 movie the Shadow based on the radio show was in the works by 20th century Fox. Never heard another word. Anyone hear if it's still in the works???

 

[Blackthorn]

I hadn't heard of this, but I'd love to see them do many more based on that character. I enjoyed the 1994 version.

 

[Blackjack]

So did I, but I think we're in the minority on that one...[huh]

 

[Captain Lex]

I liked it also! I'm for all incarnations of the character, but my question is: why do we need a remake? It's not like Alec Baldwin's doesn't have the time! Let's talk about twenty-year-overdue sequels!

 

[Shangas]

If I'm honest, I didn't much care for the 1990s movie. I mean it wasn't BAD...but I felt it didn't get the mystery and suspense. Perhaps I thought that the Shadow should be more Film-Noir-ish? I dunno.

There were nice elements there, but I don't think it was as good as it might have been.

I "kinda" liked the Baldwin Shadow, only when he transformed. The Shadow of the pulps was a different thing all together. That Shadow would've filled those gangster on the bridge full of lead and left em to rot. Why carry twin 45's only to shoot at things and not villians. The divorced the character from his blood thirsty roots, to his detriment. Also the backstory was a complete cock-up. What lead Lamont Cranston to become an opium dealer in China/Tibet? How the f**k did he wind up there in the first place? Some exposition please???!!!! Nah, The Shadow had a license to kill LONG before Mr. Bond and this one never uses it. Still in all his treatment was better than his contemporty "Doc Savage" received.

Sam Raimi was going to produce aShadow movie and Doc Savage movie. A lot of us are still waiting for both of those.

Fan of the Baldwin Shadow, its what got me interested in the character inthe first place. Really hoping for a new big screen version at some point.

I don't know about new productions using The Shadow, but I've been enjoying Old Time Radio recordings from the late 30s in my commutes to and from work. Good stuff.

Thats all pretty old news, doesn't bode well for the remake. Sort of like Johnny Depp's Thin Man film which seems to be on hold.
