It’s surprising that DC Studio leaders James Gunn and Peter Safran haven’t publicly pursued Sam Raimi, given his impressive background. Like Gunn, Raimi began his career making low-budget films before achieving blockbuster success with 2002’s Spider-Man.

Considering his experience, it seems highly likely Raimi will eventually direct a DC movie.

They prefer recording using classic, analog methods, creating a sound reminiscent of the 1970s – think genuine amplifiers, acoustic drums, and performances captured in a single take. This approach is important because it affects the entire creative process. Unlike modern digital recording, they don’t rely on extensive editing and corrections.

Klingons are likely the most well-known alien race in Star Trek, but their portrayal hasn’t been consistent over the years. While they were established as strong adversaries in Star Trek: The Original Series and the films from the 1980s, it was the character of Lieutenant Worf (played by Michael Dorn) in Star Trek: The Next Generation who really brought the depth of Klingon culture – particularly their focus on honor and warrior traditions – to life.
