Over the past few years there have been several rumors that Director/Producer Sam Raimi (Spider-Man 1, 2, 3) would possibly be bringing his cult classic franchise, The Evil Dead, back from the grave. That's right, a possible remake. But it seems all this talk is just that...ALL TALK.In this interview with Entertainment Weekly (below), Bruce Campbell, costar of USA's Burn Notice, talks about the rumors, and possibilities of another installment of the Evil Dead franchise.
Basically, until Bruce and Sam are not busy making GIGANTIC amounts of MONEY on big budget films/TV shows, there will most likely NOT be another Evil Dead movie. BUT there is still a glimmer of hope (A VERY TINY GLIMMER).
In an interview with IGN.com, Sam Raimi said that one of the main reasons he and Rob Tapert
formed Ghost House Pictures in 2002 was so that they could return to their horror roots and bring scares back to audiences. Raimi added, "One of the things we said [when forming Ghost House] was, 'Where are we going to get new material from?' Well, we thought we could get someone to remake Evil Dead as one of our horror films. We just thought that was an experience worth remaking because we have a horror company. But then we never really pursued it. We said we were going to do it and then we got so busy with other projects we never actually pursued it. So we still want to do it, we still think it's worth trying and I still have not done a single thing about it."Let's hope Sam actually follows through. In the meantime enjoy the amazing ridiculousness of Evil Dead II:
