Raimi has also produced several successful television series, includingHercules: The Legendary Journeys,its spin-offXena: Warrior PrincessandAsh vs Evil Deadstarring long time friend and collaboratorBruce Campbellreprising his role in theEvil Deadfranchise.

Early life

[edit]

Raimi was born inRoyal Oak, Michigan,[2]to aConservative Jewishfamily.[6]He is a son of merchants Celia Barbara (née Abrams) and Leonard Ronald Raimi.[3]His ancestors were Jewish immigrants from Russia and Hungary.[7]His younger brotherTedis an actor,[8]and his older brotherIvanis a screenwriter and physician.[7]His older sister, Andrea Raimi Rubin, is a court reporter.[9]Another older brother, Sander, died at 15 in an accidental drowning in Israel; Raimi has said that the trauma knitted the remaining family closer together and "colored everything he's done for the rest of his life."[10]Raimi also mentioned that Sander first introduced him toSpider-Man,igniting his love for comics.[11]

Raimi graduated fromGroves High School[12]and later went on to attend bothMichigan State UniversityandUniversità Bocconi,[13][14]where he studied English but left after three semesters to filmThe Evil Dead.

Career

[edit]

Film

[edit]

Raimi became fascinated with making films when his father brought a movie camera home one day. He began to makeSuper 8movies with his friendBruce Campbell,whom he met in 1975. In college, he teamed up with his brother's roommateRobert Tapertand Campbell to shootWithin the Woods(1978), a 32-minute horror film which raised $375,000, as well as his debut feature filmIt's Murder!.During that time, he also shot the seven-minute short filmClockwork(1978), starringScott Spiegel(who had appeared inWithin the Woods) and Cheryl Guttridge.[15][16]Through family, friends, and a network of investors, Raimi was able to finance production of the highly successfulhorror filmThe Evil Dead(1981) which became a cult hit and effectively launched Raimi's career.[17]

He began work on his third filmCrimewave(1985), which he co-wrote with the then-unknownCoen brothers,shortly after.[18]Intended as a live-action comic book, the film was unsuccessful, partly due to unwanted studio intervention. Raimi then returned to the horror genre with the seminalEvil Dead II(which addedslapstickhumor to the over the top horror, showcasing his love of theThree Stooges). With his brotherIvan Raimi(and crediting himself as Celia Abrams), Sam Raimi also wroteEasy Wheels(1989), which parodied theOutlaw biker filmgenre. A long-time comic book buff, he then attempted to adapt "The Shadow"into a movie, but was unable to secure the rights, so he created his own super-hero,Darkman(1990). The film was his firstmajor studio picture,and was commercially successful, spawning two sequels. Through it he was still able to secure funding forEvil Dead III,which was retitledArmy of Darknessand largely steered away from horror towardsfantasyandcomedyelements.Army of Darkness,the final movie in theEvil Deadtrilogy, commercially underperformed, yet on video became a cult classic.

In the 1990s, Raimi moved into other genres, directing such films as the westernThe Quick and the Dead(starringSharon StoneandGene Hackman), the critically acclaimed crime thrillerA Simple Plan(1998) (starringBill PaxtonandBilly Bob Thornton), and the romantic dramaFor Love of the Game(1999) (starringKevin Costner).

Raimi achieved great critical and commercial success with theblockbusterSpider-Man(2002), which was adapted from the comic book seriesof the same name.The movie grossed over US$800 million worldwide, spawning two sequels:Spider-Man 2andSpider-Man 3,both directed by Raimi and each grossing approximately $800 million. After the completion of the thirdSpider-Manfilm, he planned on producing two more sequels (althoughSony Picturesplanned three sequels) but could not find a satisfactory script.[19]In 2022, reflecting onSpider-Man 3,Raimi toldRolling Stone:"It was a very painful experience for me. I wanted to make a Spider-Man movie to redeem myself for that. [The aborted]Spider-Man 4— that was really what that was about. I wanted to go out on a high note. I didn't want to just make another one that pretty much worked. I had a really high standard in my mind. And I didn't think I could get that script to the level that I was hoping for by that start date. "[11]He, along withMarc Webb,were both brought on as creative consultants forMarvel Studios'Spider-Man: No Way Home,directed byJon Watts.[20]

Raimi frequently collaborates withJoel and Ethan Coen,beginning when Joel was one of the editors ofEvil Dead.[21]The Coens co-wroteCrimewaveandThe Hudsucker Proxywith Raimi in the mid-1980s (thoughHudsuckerwas not produced for almost a decade). Raimi made cameo appearances inMiller's Crossing,The Hudsucker Proxy,and with Joel Coen inSpies Like Us.The Coen brothers gave Raimi advice on shooting in snow forA Simple Plan,based on their experiences withFargo.[22]

He worked in front of the camera inThe Standas a dimwitted hitman,John Carpenter'sBody Bagsas a murdered gas station attendant, andIndian Summerin what is perhaps his biggest role as a bumbling assistant toAlan Arkin.The film was written by his childhood friend, writer-directorMike Binder,and shot at the camp that they both attended when they were younger. Raimi also produced the entire English-languageThe Grudgefranchise,based on the original Japanese films.

According toEntertainment Weekly,Raimi had expressed an interest in directing a film version ofThe Hobbit,the prequel to theLord of the Ringstrilogy.[23]In 2008,Guillermo del Torowas selected as the director, withPeter Jacksonas the executive producer. Raimi may directBy Any Means Necessary,the next film based on the "Jack Ryan" CIA character created byTom ClancyforParamount Pictures.Disney also approached him to directW.I.T.C.H.:The Movie,based on the popular comic.

Blizzard Entertainment announced on July 22, 2009, that Raimi would be directing a film adaptation of theWarcraftvideo game series,[24]but atComic-Con International2012, it was revealed that he would not be the director.[25]

On September 23, 2009, he became the producer for the BritishsupernaturalthrillerRefuge,which is directed by Corin Hardy and published byMandate Pictures.[26]He will produce the remake of the Danish thrillerThe Substitute,which will be directed by Scott Derrickson under his new label Spooky Pictures.[27]Raimi produced with his companyGhost House Picturesthe British thriller flickBurst 3D,directed byNeil Marshall.[28]

Raimi directedOz the Great and Powerful,which was released on March 8, 2013, byWalt Disney Picturesand grossed $493 million worldwide.[29][30]He said he would not be directing the planned sequel.[31][32]

On December 11, 2006, the website SuperHero Hype reported that director Sam Raimi and Michael Uslan would co-produce a new film version ofThe ShadowforColumbia Pictures.[33]On October 16, 2007, Raimi stated that: "I don't have any news onThe Shadowat this time, except that the company that I have with Josh Donen, my producing partner, we've got the rights toThe Shadow.I love the character very much and we're trying to work on a story that'll do justice to the character. "[34][35]

Raimi, along with Bruce Campbell andRob Tapert,produced the remake of Raimi'sThe Evil Dead.First-time feature filmmakerFede Álvarezwrote and directed, andDiablo Codywas also brought in to revise/rewrite the script.[36]Raimi confirmed plans to writeEvil Dead 4with his brother; it was later specified that this film would beArmy of Darkness 2.[37]Alvarez revealed that Raimi would direct the sequel toArmy of Darkness.[38]However, in a 2014 interview,Bruce Campbellannounced thatArmy of Darkness 2is not happening, saying "It's all internet b.s. There's no reality whatsoever. These random comments slip out of either my mouth, or Sam Raimi's mouth, next thing you know, we're making a sequel."[39]

On February 26, 2016, it was confirmed that Raimi is attached to direct the upcoming filmWorld War 3forWarner Bros.The film will be based on a possible future inspired by the bookThe Next 100 YearsbyGeorge Friedman.[40]
