This is a clip from a recent Pops livestream discussing news that Sam Raimi is in talk with a new creative team to reboot DARKMAN.
In this video, Pops dives into the latest hollywood news and discuss the rumored Darkman reboot, a development that truly caught me by surprise. I recount my mixed feelings about the original Darkman Sam Raimi film, starring Liam Neeson, and its critical reception. It's an interesting look back at a movie from its time, and what a new iteration could mean.
1990 Darkman film story: When thugs employed by a crime boss lead a vicious assault on Dr. Peyton Wilder, leaving him literally and psychologically scarred, an emergency procedure allows him to survive. Upon his recovery, Wilder can find solace only by returning to his scientific work developing synthetic skin, and seeking revenge against the crime boss. He assumes a phantom avenger persona called Darkman, who, with malleable facial qualities, is able to infiltrate and sow terror in the criminal community.
