Yes indeed fellow horror lovers. The greatest horror hero may be back on the big screen. The question is, will it be a remake or a sequel? Well, Bruce Campbell shines a little light on that subject. Read on below.
Evil Dead - Horror icon Bruce Campbell answered some questions at Reddit , which of course went in the direction of The Evil Dead franchise, which Campbell starred in as the infamous anti-hero "Ash".
With the remake in development since 2004, Campbell told fans that he has actually read the script and loved it: "We are remaking 'Evil Dead.' The script is awesome. I will be one of the producers and possibly play the milk man." This does imply that he won't return as Ashley J. Williams, S-Mart's most valuable employee.
"In all honesty, we would all love to make another 'Evil Dead' movie. When that will happen? Who can say - we're all working on other jobs right now. We're not trying to dodge anybody's questions, there just isn't that much to talk about. The remake's gonna kick ass—you have my word."
While this doesn't really confirm anything earth shattering, it does at least confirm that there is a script and it meets Campbell's approval. There have also been talks about doing an Evil Dead 4 with Campbell back in the role of Ash. Sam Raimi is gung ho to get on board and has even stated that he's spoken to Campbell about it. While it would be nice to see something Evil Dead related back on screen, I'd much rather see the long gestating sequel with Bruce back in the role. However, the fact that he's involved in the remake of this beloved franchise and that he's guaranteed it won't suck, does add a certain amount of credibility. But still, PLEASE Bruce, do Evil Dead 4!! We fans want it!
