Just out of curiousity, and as you seem to know and appreciate Raimi's
films - I recently learned that "Darkman" is a remake of Hiroshi
Teshigahara's 60s film "Tanin no kao" ("The Face of Another"), based on
a novel by Kobo Abe. I've asked around whether this was really true, and
how that could be confirmed - would you, by any chance, be able to help
me out on this one?
