Sam Raimi (http://www.geocities.com/~samraimi/)
(who is set to direct 'The Hobbit' since Peter Jackson bowed out to do 'Tin Tin' 
)
Yep Sam is back to what he's good at, a supernatural thriller he wrote with his brother, Ivan Raimi. (Ivan previously worked with Sam on Spider Man 3, Army Darkness and Dark Man.)
According to Variety, the morality tale about the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse will go into production early next year. 'Ghost House Pictures' is financing the film. http://ghosthousepictures.comingsoon.net/
Sam Raimi
and Rob Tapert
(Yes Rob's the one married to Lucy 'Xena' Lawless) 
...will produce with Grant Curtis, and Josh Donen will executive produce with Mandate's Nathan Kahane and Joe Drake.
Tapert said the Raimis penned the script well before the formation of Ghost House. It was originally written under the title "The Curse" and completed right after the siblings collaborated on 1992's 'Army of Darkness', which Sam Raimi directed.
So i'm hoping it'll have an old school Raimi brothers feel to it.
"Sam calls it a 'spook-a-blast,' a wild ride with all the chills and spills that 'Evil Dead' delivered, without relying on the excessive violence of that film," Tapert said. "When one has done three very expensive movies, they get used to eating caviar. Sam will have to ponder what it means to come down from the mountaintop for a moment."
