I have a two part question for you in regard to modern filmaking. The Evil Dead films as well as a bulk of your "genre" work has had a low budget, but with yourself and Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi, you've always made the most of your budget (countless models, stop motion animation, miniatures, etc). Hollywood seems to be using CGI for just about everything these days where in tha past models would be used (Pearl Harbor, Star Wars, etc). As you're now becoming a director youself, do you favor old movie techniques such as models and minitures over CGI, or is CGI the great equalizer for the low budget movie maker? Second, You've been the star of some of best cult followed horror films, most horror films today lack something. What is needed to revitalise the horror film industry?
