MTV tells us that they spoke to producer Michael Uslan, who revealed some info about The Shadow. He said that in the new version, it might not be one person operating as the hero, but actually a group of people. Here are some excerpts:

"I think the one thing going in is we all see The Shadow as more of a force of nature than a specific person in a secret identity," Uslan told MTV in an exclusive interview. "The Shadow may actually be many people."

"We've gone back to the pulp roots, the comic book roots of The Shadow, with a dash of the radio roots," added Uslan. "But we've deeply ensconced ourselves in the world of pulps and comics."

Universal Pictures previously brought the character to the big screen in 1994 when Alec Baldwin played the title role in the Russell Mulcahy-directed The Shadow.
