Evil Dead Re-Make.


Bruce Campbell recently talked about the upcoming Evil Dead Re-Make he will be doing with Sam Rami.

"We don't really talk about [another] sequel too much 'cause Sam is too busy right now. It would all be kinda moot. But I think we're gonna do a remake. It'll be a whole new story, though. It won't be with Ash. It'll be the evil book, and it'll affect a whole new group of people in a different situation. More like a reinvention. A lot of people, they got really crabby on the Internet when they first heard that type of stuff. But, we would never do anything to insult them. The trick is to take that premise - and we think it's a scary premise - and use some cool modern day FXÂ… so we won't have green garden hoses in the shots. We wanna make a flat out, scary-ass, un-rated horror film."

I do hope this comes about. Sam has a very busy schedule with Spider-Man 3 still in film and some otherrumoredd projects coming up. Bruce has a much looser schedule to fit the movie in. It is good to see that they will be delving away from Ash. I would hate to see another actor try to pull off the Ash character, Bruce has the character nailed and no one else could compare. Although the use of new advanced special effects worries me. One of the great things about the originals was theingenuityy and the "use what we have" mentality that Sam and Bruce had. I viewed Evil Dead way back in the day at a film festival in Chicago and was blown away, it was new,innovativee and had that great fun/scare factor. I hope a re-make can stand up to the task and be able to fill the big shows it is trying to follow.
