Come on. Raimi's directing it, and all the money it will make! Bruce has to sign on. I can't see him not doing it.

CHUD has an update on this "Evil Dead 4" plan of Sam Raimi's.... seems it's not so much a plan as it was just "something he probably shouldn't have bothered saying".

When Raimi took the stage in Hall H to promote Drag Me To Hell, he inevitably faced an audience question about further Evil Dead collaboration with Bruce Campbell. His response was (vaguely) surprising.

"That's in the wheelhouse. I'd like to work on it with my brother Ivan when he comes up next week."

You could almost smell minor waves of 'holy shit!' rolling across the hall. Predictably, that quote made the rounds as 'Evil Dead 4 coming!!!!!!!! OMG!'.

Raimi was asked about his true intention when he was cornered on the press line a while later.

"Well, he's coming to town and we're going to talk about that, if he's got time to work on the script. Don't really have a next project lined up right now, and we'll end up writing about two or three pages of it, as we always do, and then work on something else. I really need to see this picture, get a first cut in, I want him to tell me what didn't work, where we have to fix it, where we have to tighten it up…I really need his input."


Hmm...I know, I know. :rolleyes:

All the fanboys are holding their breath in anticipation (myself included). I think it's a long way off yet it seems, unfortunately.

Fuck yes!
Raimi wouldn't betray fans and cast anyone except for Campbell for the role.
so happy the remake idea was ditched.

Same here. Why remake a film already so brilliant?

As much as i usually hate the idea of remakes, i think that this would have been really good.

Bruce-Campbell-Evil-DeadAwesome news out of San Diego Comic-Con. Spider-Man director Sam Raimi announced that he's getting back together with actor Bruce Campbell for a fourth installment of their stellar Evil Dead franchise. Though the zombie-filled series has been dormant since 1992's Army of Darkness, Raimi—who was promoting his upcoming flick, Drag Me to Hell—told fans that part 4 is "in the wheelhouse."

"I love working with Bruce Campbell... He’s super willing to do anything to make it right. He’s a very funny guy, but mostly he’s got this quality where he will physically do anything to get the shot done right, so I would love to work with Bruce again because I’d love to test those limits. I’d love to make another Evil Dead picture. And actually that’s in the wheelhouse. I’d like to work on it with my brother Ivan [Raimi] when he comes up next week.“ [Geeks of Doom]



I can't wait :)

hmmmmmm, interesting...

Maybe Gabrielle Anwar can play his girl friend(read: Hot). They are in Burn Notice together on USA network if you are wondering about the connection.

They've been talking about it for years...I honestly doubt it'll ever happen.

Would be nice though.
