Sam Raimi Says There Will Be An EVIL DEAD 4
Good news Deadites - It seems that despite all hope seeming lost for a fourth Evil Dead after the remake was announced, Raimi does indeed have plans to continue the story. Will there be Ash? Will it still be tongue-in-cheek? No clue, all we know is the script is planned..
Sam Raimi was in London today attending a Meet the Filmmakers event for OZ The Great And Powerful, and of course some Evil Dead questions were sent his way. Someone asked about a fourth movie, continuing on from Army Of Darkness, and surprisingly Raimi replied: "I would love to make Evil Dead 4. My brother and I plan to work on the script this summer." The brother is most likely Ivan, co-writer on Army of Darkness and Drag Me to Hell, and not his actor brother Ted, who appeared in Spider-Man. There were rumblings of a fourth movie for a long time, continuing right up to the announcement of the upcoming remake, but since that it was just assumed any plans were scrapped. Of course saying there are plans to write a script doesn't quite equal "we're getting the movie", but at least we know it's on Raimi's mind. Let's just hope Bruce Campbell will be back for this one!
