Gillian Greene stated that despite having a limited budget, she managed to complete the filming without any trouble. She even addressed the time when she was shooting the film and said:

"We only did a few takes and had to move on but sometimes we got the best stuff that way. These happy accidents are brought about by a certain pressure that causes everyone to bring their "A" game."

Sam Raimi's upcoming project will be released on Netflix

While Sam Raimi's divorce from Gillian Greene is currently on top of the headlines, he is preparing to bring his next film to the audience. It is a horror thriller, titled Don't Move, and a release date is yet to be confirmed.

Netflix obtained the release rights for the film last month and it will be available for all subscribers, except the ones residing in Poland and the Commonwealth of Independent States, as per Variety. Apart from Raimi, Zainab Azizi and Alex Lebovici would also serve as producers.

The basic premise would focus on a serial killer and a woman, and the latter is injected with a paralytic agent due to which she is forced to save herself before her nervous system stops working.

Furthermore, Sam responded to the reports of his involvement with Spider-Man 4 while speaking to CBR last month, saying that he had not heard about the same. He added:

"I did read that, but I'm not actually working on it yet. I mean, Marvel and Columbia are so successful with current Spider-Man [movies], and the track there, and I don't know that they're going to go back to me, and say, 'Well, folks, we can also tell that story!"

Raimi ended by saying that he loves all the new films based on Spider-Man and praised Tobey Maguire's cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
