Quentin Tarantino May Direct THE SHADOW Movie

I remember THE SHADOW staring Alec Baldwin.  t was not a very good movie. Although, Alec Baldwin is a fantastic actor, THE SHADOW was not a good choice to showcase his talents. Now, it is being  reported (or rumored) that a new big-screen adaptation is coming and the project has BIG name director attached to it

According to pajiba, Quentin Tarantino is currently in discussions to direct:

... the person that is now attached to the project is none other than Quentin Tarantino, who is also attached as co-writer. ... The Shadow has never been mentioned among the 27 dozen projects that Tarantino has always been obsessed with. Maybe he loved original radio show and the pulps (which do seem up Tarantino's alley), and maybe he saw Siavash Farahani's script and decided that, if anyone could erase the memory of Alec Baldwin's atrocity, it'd be him. Maybe Tarantino just loves the challenge. Or maybe he's just added this to the huge pile of future possibilities and has no intention of ever directing. All I know is that, for the moment, he is being discussed (and this is a two-way discussion) and or already attached as the future director of The Shadow.

I think THE SHADOW would be very good fit for Tarantino.  I am excited by this rumor and hopeful it comes true. What do you think?
