Short description
Dr. Peyton Westlake is on the verge of realizing a major breakthrough in synthetic skin when his laboratory is destroyed by gangsters. Having been burned beyond recognition and forever altered by an experimental medical procedure, Westlake becomes known as Darkman, assuming alternate identities in his quest for revenge and a new life with a former love.
What's left behind the scenes
- Bill Paxton nearly landed the role of the Dark Man.
- Following the film's release, a television series based on it was considered, but the idea never came to fruition. However, in 1992, a pilot episode of 30 minutes was filmed, but it also never aired.
- Julia Hastings was originally going to be played by Julia Roberts, but the actress preferred the role in "Pretty Woman".
- Sam Raimi really wanted to adapt the "The Shadow" comic, but he couldn’t get the rights. So he came up with his own Darkman. And four years later, Russell Mulcahy brought "The Shadow" to the screen.
- The director wanted to cast his friend Bruce Campbell, who starred in his "Evil Dead" trilogy, as Darkman. However, the producers refused the director. Nevertheless, Campbell did play Darkman – he is the one who walks away in the final scene, not Liam Neeson.
