I personally have no problems with an Evil Dead remake so long as 3 simple rules are followed:
1: Sam Raimi directs. It's his baby, let him see it grow up.
2: Bruce Campbell is Ash. Give it to anyone else and the film loses any greatness it could have had as well as alienating Evil Dead fans (its biggest market).
3: Keep the story as it was in the 80's. Dont change it for a 21st century audience as the real, true fans will hate you forever.

other than that... Groovy.:D
