Sam Raimi has ANOTHER superhero project, this time with Disney!

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Yet another superhero project for Sam Raimi, this time over at Disney where he will produce The Transplants - an action adventure pitch from Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobsen, two writers who co-wrote Not Another Teen Movie. Disney are keeping stum on the high-concept plot though The Hollywood Reporter have heard it described "as a four-quadrant ensemble superhero story with a comedic bent".

The deal for the pitch is said to be in the high six figures. Epstein and Jacobsen had planned to pitch the idea as a comic book but Disney exec Kristin Burr see's huge potential in this project as a film. It probably goes without saying that this is the first Raimi/Disney project in history - two names I never thought I would ever see together. We will have more on this as it develops, but call me intrigued at this point.
