Evil Dead Game Sequel Confirmed By Bruce Campbell

An anonymous reader writes "Bruce Campbell mentions a new Evil Dead videogame due out in spring 2005 in a recent interview over at AICN. Asked whether there's going to be an Evil Dead 4 movie or not, he concludes 'So, I don't know. I mean, no one's gonna weep if there isn't... I mean, look! We've got these Evil Dead games coming out left and right. The new one's coming out next year, next Spring. I did the voice for it for Cranky Pants.' Looks like Cranky Pants Games are internal developers for THQ, working on an 'unannounced third-person action game shipping on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox consoles in early 2005', probably the Evil Dead game - I hope they do a better job than developers Vis Entertainment did on Evil Dead: Fistful of Boomstick!" THQ's first Evil Dead title, Evil Dead: Hail To The King, wasn't rated too positively either, so hopefully this new game should be an improvement.

Campbell fan?

If you're a fellow Cambpell fan, you might be interested to know that Campbell actually wrote a book; I received a copy as a birthday present, and it's one of the most entertaining books I've read in a long time. He has a whole litany of horror stories about the making of the Evil Dead books, and such; however, what makes the book really worth reading is that it's so fascinating to see the "blue-collar" side of hollywood, as he puts it. It makes you remember that for every bloated ego pulling in the millions there's a talented guy like Bruce, busting his ass, perched on the edge of "almost famous."

I guess this is kind of a plug, but it's relevant, right? Mods, cut me some slack, he's been my favorite actor since I was a kid. :)

Anyways, the title of his book is "If Chins Could Kill" and I'm sure you can find it online or something.
