Raimi and Demme coming to SXSW
Sam Raimi is best known to those not in the know as the director of the “Spider-Man” franchise (still waiting for the apology for part 3, mister). But before that he displayed wondrous chops as a horror mastermind with the giddily inventive “Evil Dead” trilogy. (And before that, he worked with the Coen brothers, and they cooked up all sorts of cinematic tricks.)
Anyway, Raimi will screen his work-in-progress horror movie — yes, he’s back to his rotten, bloody roots! — “Drag Me to Hell,” which is not only what my last girlfriend told me but also might be the fourth best title ever. The movie stars Alison Lohman and Justin Long and is described as a “young woman’s desperate quest to break an evil curse.”
Raimi will introduce the film at midnight March 15 at the Paramount Theatre.
‘Drag Me’ right here …
On a less gory and gutty note … Jonathan Demme is showing his new Neil Young concert movie “Neil Young Trunk Show” on March 21 at the Paramount. And Demme will be there to chat it up.
