Sharon Stone's relationship with Sam Raimi was quick, and now it is dead
Sharon Stone compared the difference between Martin Scorsese and Sam Raimi is “loyalty.“
If one had to describe Sharon Stone’s working relationship with director Sam Raimi by a movie title, it would, ironically, be The Quick And The Dead. Stone hired Raimi onto Quick And The Dead after seeing Army Of Darkness, vouching so emphatically for the cult director that she later admitted she was banned from the studio for eight years for doing so. The favor was not repaid because Stone doesn’t think Raimi has “loyalty.” Speaking at the Torino Film Festival in Italy (via IndieWire) last week, Stone compared Raimi, whose films she “really liked” and whom she believed was very intelligent and very funny, to Martin Scorsese. In Stone’s estimation, because of Scorsese’s Italian ancestry, “he has loyalty, he has that family feeling, and because of it Marty and I still have a relationship, and because of it Marty and I still work together.” Meanwhile, Raimi “doesn’t have loyalty” and “doesn’t have family.” Sorry, Ted.
