Bruce Campbell Confirms New Evil Dead Movie

blackstone2020 writes "Dread Central reported last night that a fourth Evil Dead film is up for production in Detroit, and editor Bob Murawski, who worked with Sam Raimi on all three 'Spider-Man' films and 'Drag Me to Hell,' is gearing up to start on the project. Bruce Campbell recently joined Twitter and left one of the best comments to a fan confirming this rumor 'Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell.'"

    Give it a rest, Hollywood. Remember the lesson from Dune?

    It's even worse when they take cult horror classics and replace the goodness with Jar Jar Binks style CGI.

    Army of Darkness was the perfect end to the trilogy (sorry Sam, but the studio was right--that S-Mart ending was fucking awesome).

    Please don't ruin it with some lame retread with a tired, old Ash. Just let it be what it is.

      Yeah he looks better this season. Thing is though, that they had a "special" 2 hr episode of Sam Ax when he was a SEAL. The time line was about 10 years prior to Burn Notice. He didn't seem to have lost the weight before the show. Which makes him a bit less believable as a SEAL. Michael just grew a beard!

      He could pull if off, if he goes for an older, wiser, and even ruthlesser personae. If he tries to do young Ash, it will just be like that Duke Nukem game - a sad rehash.

    I can see why people liked the Spiderman movies (even though I didn't so much). But Drag Me to Hell wasn't scary, funny, original, or interesting. It was a "Tales from the Darkside" episode, but much longer, and without the low-budget charm. I have no interest in a Sam Raimi horror movie after that.

      In that case, it will suck ass. Because the only reason those movies were any good was that he was in them. Without him, they lose their core affability and become the cheap junk they were mocking.

      The first ~7 minutes of Evil Dead 2 are a "recap" of the first movie, but with only Ash and Linda. Everything else takes place after the events of the first movie.

    Actually no. He is a lead on Burn Notice, a show about a burned spy on the USA Network. Does a great job imo too.

    ... and even by my tastes, My Name is Bruce was the better of the two movies, especially with the self-deprecating humor:

    Clayton: I kinda liked Bubba Ho-Tep.

    Jeff: Everyone liked Bubba Ho-Tep.

    Which unfortunately, wasn't quite true.

  17. Winged Monkeys? by TheReaperD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wonder if it will have a scene with undead flying monkeys coming out of Bruce Campbell's ass? For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, years ago, he did an interview where the commentator asked him if he'd do another Evil Dead movie and his response was "when winged monkeys fly out of my ass". With anyone else, I would not even ponder the possibility of that scene being in the movie. But, hey, we're talking Campbell and Raimi here.
