Sam Raimi Developing Tornado Heist Thriller, Which I Never Knew I Needed

THR is reporting that Sam Raimi is developing an original action adventure that he will produce and may also direct. The film is described as a “heist caper set in the Carolinas during a tornado storm and centers on the relationship between one man and his older mentor.”

I am all about this. Even if it ends up being bad, it is unlikely to be boring, and if this movie is even like 1% better than “Twister but with thieves,” I will definitely end up buying it on Blu-ray and watching it everyday for a month. And let’s be real, with Raimi attached, it will probably be better than Twister but with thieves.

The untitled project, which used to have the working title Stormfall, is set up at Warner Bros and is currently in search of writers for the script. I hope they get someone good, because I am all about this movie, and it’ll be a total letdown if the script is bad.

Raimi, who directed the Evil Dead films as well as the original Spider-Man trilogy, in case you needed reminding, most recently produced Don’t Breathe, a thriller due out in August
