Raimi Remaking 'Evil Dead'?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the is-that-even-a-good-idea dept.

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."

  1. I can't see it being a hit without Raimi by GodBlessTexas · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Without Raimi's visual style, which along with Bruce Campbell, virtually makes Evil Dead, I can't see how this can be a success. Also, when I met Bruce back in September of 2002, he said he would not ever reprise the role of Ash for any more Evil Dead movies. He said they were just too hard on his body and he was too old for it now. The article doesn't mention what role he'll have in it, so it's unclear exactly how he will be a part of this one.
