Sam Raimi's unrealized projects

In the late 1980s, Raimi was initially attached to The Guardian, based on the 1987 book The Nanny by Dan Greenburg, but left in order to direct Darkman instead. According to screenwriter Stephen Volk, he and Raimi developed it as an "Omen-esque" horror film with set-pieces bordering on parody, but when William Friedkin replaced him, the script was rewritten from scratch.{{cite web|url=https://catalog.afi.com/Catalog/MovieDetails/58532|title=AFI|Catalog - The Guardian|website=AFI Catalog of Feature Films|access-date=May 1, 2024}}

In 1990, after finishing with the filming of Darkman, Raimi pitched, along with Marvel Comics writer Stan Lee, the concept of a Thor feature film to 20th Century Fox. However, they didn't understand Raimi's and Lee's idea and the project was abandoned.{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2006/film/markets-festivals/raimi-well-suited-for-fantastic-feats-1200339581/|title=Raimi well-suited for fantastic feats|website=Variety|last=Goldsmith|first=Jeff|date=July 18, 2006|access-date=November 23, 2018}} A film based on the Thor property was released years later in 2011 and directed by Kenneth Branagh, as the fourth installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe under Paramount Pictures.

According to the 2001 book, "The Evil Dead Companion", Raimi was at one point either attached or had turned down an offer to direct an adaptation of the Bram Stoker novel, Dracula, based on a screenplay by Kevin Jarre.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wBrJ3M71rUIC&dq=kevin+jarre+dracula&pg=PA267|title=The Evil Dead Companion|last=Warren|first=Bill|date=2001-01-15|publisher=St. Martin's Press|isbn=9780312275013|language=en|access-date=2025-03-06}}

In the early 1990s, Raimi campaigned to direct Batman Forever after Tim Burton dropped out of the project. Though the job ultimately went to the more experienced Joel Schumacher, Raimi would continually express interest in the Batman character throughout his career.{{cite web|last=Hardwick|first=Ben|url=https://www.cbr.com/sam-raimi-wanted-batman-movie-before-darkman/|title=Sam Raimi Wants to Make a Batman Film - But It’s Not the First Time He’s Tried|website=Comic Book Resources|date=March 31, 2022|access-date=February 18, 2025}}

In April 1995, Variety indicated that Raimi had signed on to Morgan Creek's project The Damocles Network, scripted by John Pogue about a surveillance expert who discovers a high-tech government assassination conspiracy and becomes a target himself.

In December 1995, it was reported that Raimi had been in talks to direct a film version of the 1966 series The Green Hornet, with George Clooney attached to star as the title character, and Jason Scott Lee as Kato.

In 1997, TriStar Pictures purchased James Shanta's spec script Crossroaders, with Raimi attached to direct and Neal H. Moritz producing.
