Sam Raimi is about to do his first Disney flick courtesy The Transplants, an action-adventure from writers Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Transplants is a four-quadrant ensemble superhero movie with a comic angle to it.  Since Epstein and Jacobson are best know for their movie, Not Another Teen Movie, we can expect it to be a little over the top.

Raimi, now best known as the Spider-Man director, was recently seen at Comic-Con where he showed well-receive clips of his return to horror, Drag Me to Hell.  Fanboys will also note that at Comic-Con, he also announced he still wants to do Evil Dead 4.

We'll have more on this movie as it develops.

Sam Raimi may be best known for his directorial role in the Spider-Man movies, but his dedicated Evil Dead fans will never forget where he got his start.

What impressed the director most at Comic Con?  According to MTV Movies, that people still dress up as Ash from Army of Darkness.

When asked if we'll see an Evil Dead 4, the director responded "Yes."  So what are we waiting on?

“If the financing ever fell in place right,” Raimi explained and then further taunting us, “But first, I’d have to work on the script with my brother [Ivan Raimi]. And that’s something I’m hoping to find the time to do.”

Are you guys ready to see Bruce Campbell return to fight the Deadites?

Director Sam Raimi recently discussed the making of Spider-Man 4 and future franchise sequels.

"James Vanderbilt is writing the script and I'm excited to read it. I think it's going to be done in a few months," Raimi said. "I'm hoping it's as great as our discussions were about it and I'm hoping it feels right for me because I love Spider-Man. I'm hoping I'm well rested enough to embrace it and I'm hoping Sony wants me to do it. If all of those things come together, I would love to do it. There are a lot of unknowns about the future."

As re-casting key actors, if needed? (Rumors have been circulating that Tobey Maguire could be replaced.)

"I'd hate to re-cast anybody in the future, I can't imagine that," Raimi said.
