Sam Raimi is an American director and screenwriter. He is known for creating the Spider-Man trilogy (2002-2007) and The Evil Dead franchise (1981-present).
1. People are interested in the stories of people.
2. Sometimes, the audience can create something scarier in their mind than what you could’ve shown them, and sometimes you can show them something much scarier than what they could have ever imagined.
3. Know the rules of your genre.
4. Try not to take a step back from reality when dealing with an unrealistic concept for a movie. Keep it as real as possible.
5. Write and direct low-budget short films every week and see how an audience will respond to it.
6. Create sympathetic villains.
7. Delve into the unknown, delve into what scares you.
8. To make it scary, don’t exaggerate. Base it around a set of circumstances that could really happen.
9. Take on a big challenge even when you don’t think you’re ready.
10. Give your character tough choices to make.

Back in 1981 Sam Raimi gave his camera a ghost role to perform, and it was one of the best camera movements in the history of cinematography. This guy is innovative in the truest sense of the word.

Sam Raimi is one of the best filmmaker director he is 👈👍. So Happy he back and director Doctor Strange 2 👏👏💯

[@efrainjunior2409]

Just imagine him making a Batman movie. With his horror tone/theme of the villains. As for Scarecrow, Man-Bat, Hush, and Solomon Grundy. He’d would be perfect for Batman.

[@spiralpower1620]

I was hoping he'd do Superman. Imagine him doing Metallo, Parasite, Cyborg Superman or Bizarro. Not to mention his take on Lex Luthor.

[@johnnygunzfilmbuff7821]

I read he wanted to direct a Batman movie, but studios would not give him the greenlight and they did not think he was experienced that's why he made Darkman. I can see him directing a good Batman movie.

Thank you so much for this!!! I’m huge Raimi fan and he’s an absolute inspiration for all filmmakers!!!

[@krishshautriya5170]

What this man achieved with Evil Dead was nothing short of a miracle.

[@pufelmulticolorido]

Do one on Yorgos Lanthimos!

I met Sam the other day at the Monster Mania 58 Convention and he was so nice and humble. He and I both love the Three Stooges and that's what I talked to him about.

[@vedanshgure9022]

[@OutstandingScreenplays]

Coming very soon! 👌

[@francesbernard2445]

Thanks for the information. If failing to entertain people who bought tickets to see a movie or failing to entertain people who bought a comic book is al it takes to be then accused of committing a crime in the U.S. then I am very grateful to be remaining in Canada instead. Unlike what my sister Sharon had to go through over more than a decade in the U.S.

[@Psycho-Complex]

Now do Spiderman 3 as a guide on what to do if the studio fucks with you. LOL

[@LordMalice6d9]

Sam could have just said "no" instead of caving to studio pressure and just continue with his vision.

[@YEDxYED]

@@LordMalice6d9 That was a very ignorant assertion

[@aggressionalistprod]

Did you enjoy No Way Home? I did!

So gents how long does it take to learn how to write? Do I need learning lots of books of grammar? And what’s the difference between. Music video and film writing?
