We also learned just who is responsible for all of Stan’s cameos — and it wasn’t Stan Lee.

After delivering two great Spider-Man films back-to-back (and almost singlehandedly launching a new era of superhero franchises), Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 left fans and critics feeling a bit disappointed. With one too many villains, that famous Peter Parker dance sequence (which I actually like!) and reports of Sony’s meddling, Raimi’s third film in the series ultimately proved to be his last when he abandoned plans for Spider-Man 4 back in 2010 — leaving us wondering what his fourth film might have looked like. Thankfully, we don’t have to wonder (much) anymore.

Oh what a different 18 months makes. A year ago, last fall Spider-Man fans were facing an entire universe of Spidey movies they didn’t particularly want; a third Amazing Spider-Man about the continuing and not-particularly-exciting adventures of Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker, plus spinoff movies for Venom and the Sinister Six.

Which is why people keep asking Raimi about a fourth film. Well, he's answered, and suggest

It's hard to be a film fan and not love Sam Raimi's 1981 horror movie 'The Evil Dead.' Not only did it kick off the career of one of the great geeks heroes of cinema, it's one of those scrappy no-budget classics that gets over because of the sheer willpower of the director and the ethos that any character can die at any time. It seems like an untouchable classic. But watching the red band trailer

This is the teaser trailer for Sam Raimi's prequel to the 1939 classic film 'The Wizard Of Oz' called 'Oz: The Great And Powerful'. It stars James Franco as magician Oscar Diggs, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams. Check out the first teaser trailer after the jump.

As much as a fan I am of Sam Raimi's 'Spider-Man' and also of Willem Dafoe's performance as Norman Osborn, a.k.a. the Green Goblin, I wasn't convinced of the super high-tech costume design. ADI, also known as Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc., designed the effects for the Green Goblin. Here was the original design that looked a little more like Gobby.
