Talk:Sam Raimi

Anti-Venom?

Quote from the Venom (comics) article; " Sam Raimi has supposedly gone on record as saying that while he is in directorial control of the Spider-Man film saga, Venom will never appear as a villain." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darien Shields (talk • contribs) 00:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC) Anyone know why?

It was because of what he refers as "Lack of Humanity" you can find more here Spider Man 3 However he obiously was convinced otherwise since Venom is in Spider-Man 3-User:Dark Dragon Flame December 18 2006 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dark Dragon Flame (talk • contribs) 18 December 2006

Sam is also a Gardener

I have two sources: Sam talks about how he took years off of feature directing to work on the art of gardening here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5Wh7HQQnV4 Also he talks about it a lot in this podcast here: https://podtail.com/en/podcast/the-nerdist/sam-raimi/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.165.193.244 (talk) 13:55, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Sam Raimi's unrealized projects has been tagged as being subject of a merge proposal, but no proposal has been made so I'm opening one here. I'm inclined to support a merger, but it would need to be more concise than a list of subheadings. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 🛸 04:54, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

I changed the template on this page from {{merge to}} to {{merge from}} because I'm pretty sure we want to keep this page. :-) — Chrisahn (talk) 05:35, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

I don't have a strong opinion, but I don't think a merger would be useful. I had a quick look at Sam Raimi's unrealized projects. Looks well-sourced and well-written. I don't see an obvious way to make it more concise. Sam Raimi's unrealized projects is longer than Sam Raimi, merging them would bloat the latter. — Chrisahn (talk) 05:44, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

@Trollface 2006ALT: You proposed the merge. What are your thoughts? — Chrisahn (talk) 05:47, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

I thought that grouping them together would make it easier to find since it talks about his main projects; it could be in topic format. i think Trollface 2006ALT (talk) 14:58, 30 January 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose way too many projects on the unrealized page to have catalogued onto his main article. Rusted AutoParts 16:39, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

• Obvious oppose for the same reason. Unless they can all just be summarized in a few paragraphs. Bueller 007 (talk) 17:06, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

  Oppose, I would argue that they could not be summarized effectively. Besides, the article that currently exists for the unrealized projects is very well-organized and well-written. BakedintheHole (talk) 18:25, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
