On January 7th, 2013, Eric Vespe, or "Quint" posted an article on Aintitcool.com where he caught up with the director of the new EVIL DEAD film, Fede Alvarez. Here's what he had to say:
"TED Its about 5 kids going to a cabin, finding a book, unleashing a curse, and they all die at the end. Even Ash. All that’s left is the cabin, the car, and the last time we saw the book it was resting on the fire, screaming and showing its tongue in crazy manners. But not consumed…
Now, ED2 is a different story. Ash goes only with his girlfriend to the cabin, (no 5 kids this time) and the events occurred in a completely different way. I would say that ED2 and Army Of Darkness are definitely a single film split in two, but a total reboot of TED.
Now, the way I personally like to see Evil Dead (2013), it's as a story that takes place 30 years after TED ended. The car is there. the cabin is there (a family bought it and did some work on it more than 20 years ago) and the book has found its way back to the cabin... New kids will encounter it and suffer its wrath."
So, the 2013 film follows the original, and ignores the continuity set up by EVIL DEAD II and ARMY OF DARKNESS? Interesting...
Well, all I can say is that I am even more excited for this film! What do you guys think of this news? Leave a comment below, and let me know!
NOTE: I was not sure if this had been posted before or not, so I went through the horror movie news archives, and I didn't see it. Also, this is my first news article so I'm not sure if I sourced it correctly. Keep in mind that all errors are completely unintentional, and I didn't see any article reporting this news. Thank you.
