Sam Raimi announced over the weekend that he plans to work on the script for "Evil Dead 4". This is great news for fans of the horror franchise, but it's unclear at the moment what will happen with the "Evil Dead" remake directed by Fede Alvarez which comes out this year. Raimi announced his intentions at a press conference by saying "I would love to make Evil Dead 4. My brother and I plan to work on the script this summer."

Steven Spielberg is planning on making a mini-series about French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte which is based on a script written by Stanley Kubrik in 1961. Spielberg spoke about it in an interview: "I’ve been developing Stanley Kubrick’s screenplay — for a miniseries not for a motion picture — about the life of Napoleon. Kubrick wrote the script in 1961, a long time ago." Steven Spielberg was previously involved in completing Kubrik's work with the 2001 sci-fi "Artificial Intelligence". "Napoleon" was heavily researched by Stanley Kubrik, so Spielberg will have a lot of the legendary director's blueprints to start from.

Daniel Radcliffe is in talks to star in 20th Century Fox's new version of "Frankenstein". The film will be directed by Paul McGuigan ("Lucky Number Slevin") from a script by Max Landis ("Chronicle") and is said to be a "a tale of friendship and redemption". Radcliffe will play the role of Igor, the hunchback assistant of Dr. Frankenstein. It will be quite a challenge for the young actor, but since modern films tend to reinvent classic stories, there's a good chance that the Igor they'll envision might not quite be the Igor we used to know.
