This is not a news item. It's just me connecting imaginary dots because I'm a nerd. A few days ago I posted a quote about Sam Raimi trying to do secondary shooting for Spider-Man 4 in Michigan. Today I came across a Metromode story about the new film studio going up in an old auto plant in Pontiac. The studio will be run by Raleigh Studios in Hollywood. These guys have been around so long, their first production was with Mary Pickford.
What hasn't been noticed by the Michigan press outlets is that Raleigh has signed a long term contract with Marvel Studios to work on their next four superhero titles. Specifically "Iron Man 2," "Thor," "The First Avenger: Captain America" and "The Avengers."
I consider myself an amateur futurist in training, so it's pretty hard for me not to speculate on a scenario where Raimi sees all this action from Raleigh happening and gives them a call about breaking in some of the Pontiac people with his Spidey project. Maybe he gets the idea from this post. Maybe a few people that I know are reading this e-mail it to him or his brother Ted...
Just speculating. A junior foresight scientist has to practice his craft from time to time.
