Sam Raimi Attached to Direct Earp: Saints for Sinners

Sam Raimi will be spending the next year prepping his next Disney's Oz, the Great and Powerful and continuing the writing process on Warcraft. But that isn’t going to stop him from lining up work down-the-line.

Heat Vision says Raimi is attached to direct Earp: Saints for Sinners for DreamWorks:

"The film and graphic novel re-imagines Earp — best known for the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, where he fought alongside his two brothers and compadre Doc Holliday — set in a future in which he takes on outlaws in a ravaged society where the only boomtown left is Las Vegas."

He's no stranger to the Western genre with The Quick & the Dead. Needless to say this isn't a repeat of that under-rated romp. When this would get going is anyone's guess.

Honestly it sounds like something he'll end up not doing or just stay onboard as a producer. Personally, I'd love to see Raimi return for a smaller character-study like A Simple Plan or The Gift.
