Bruce Campbell Confirms New Evil Dead Movie

Posted by samzenpus on from the groovy dept.

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.'"

    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.

    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.

    . . . but it's the remake of The Evil Dead, not another sequel. And Bruce is currently only signed on to produce, not act.

      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.

    "production in Detroit"

  6. 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.
