Raimi Remaking 'Evil Dead'?
Matt writes "Has Hollywood's staleness finally rubbed off on Sam Raimi & co.? Get this, Sam Raimi is remaking 'Evil Dead', the 1981 horror cult classic. Oh and if that wasn't shocking enough, he won't even be directing it... But somehow Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell are onboard as well."

It doesn't ruin the originals but it cheapens the "franchise". Look at how the Alien series degraded to corn-laden turds after Alien and Aliens.
Next we'll see remakes of Blade Runner, Citizen Kane and Casablanca. All staring Ben Affleck. All title tracks by Eminem.

I haven't seen Evil Dead II.... yet.

Evil Dead 4: The Army of Darkness 2.
That'd crack me up.
I mean, Evil Dead 2 was really a 1.5 release... (as it bridged the gap between being a remake and a sequel)... and the third film, "Army of Darkness" (aka. "Medieval Dead", a.k.a "Bruce Cambell vs. The Army of Darkness") was never formally referred to as "Evil Dead 3"... but while those names are technically up for grabs, the studio wouldn't actually name the new remake "Evil Dead 2" or "Evil Dead 3" as this could be confusing to the moviegoers, and higher numbers ("Evil Dead 4") are also out the window as that would turn off people who never saw the earlier ones.
Therefore, the only possible method of titling this film is to use a branching versioning scheme, and therefore (after accounting for the special edition version of Evil Dead 1 released to DVD) it is entirely clear that the re-remake's title will be: Evil Dead 1.5.2
Seeing the inevitability of this I have registered that domain, and expect a call from "Ghost House" productions any day now...

I have just been "dying" to say this. With the purchace of Sears by K-Mart, does this mean they will rebrand under the name S-Mart?
Just think of the tie ins!

I'm pretty sure that Ben Affleck is a replicant.

You shut your filthy mouth.
You never know what Hollywood types might be reading this right now looking for ideas.

The comment "put more boobs in it" gets modded informative? Now *that's* funny.
Everything I need to know I learned by killing smart people and eating their brains.
It doesn't sound like this will be it, though.
Here's a hacksaw and some soap so you can go wash that mental image out of your brain.
Thats so bad I don't even think S-mart will carry it.

Although the soundtrack is awesome, this is one movie where it was more amusing when the sound failed. Me and some friends were watching EDII at a midnight showing, when the sound went out shortlty after the clock stopped, when the Candarian Demon is first trying to bash its way into the house. At this point, the camera keeps panning wildly around, supposedly following where the demon would be outside the house. However with no sound people in the audience (all Evil Dead fanatics, I'm sure) started making "whoosh" "Zoom" "Zing" sounds that were simply... hilarious.
One of the few times where "audience participation" (AKA being that annoying guy in the theatre) actually contributed to the filmgoing experience.
There weren't even any complaints about how the sound went out that night...

Sears + K-Mart = S-Mart?
