Thread moved to the more appropriate Upcoming Movies & Sequels forum, and retitled to be somewhat descriptive.

If it's a horrible garbage movie - it will still be better than the original Evil Dead.

Ohhh, no you didn't. LOL. The original Evil Dead is a classic of low budget filmmaking. It's one of those films that just gets better the more you know about the insane way it was made. Definitely shouldn't be remade, but the last I heard it's going to be a film version of the hilarious Evil Dead - The Musical.

Seen that 4 times....splatter zone each time.

From from what I've heard, the original plan was to make Evil Dead IV. However, it fell in Development Hell. So I guess a remake would be better off.

No Ash though? Why?

Because Bruce Campbell is unavailable, and nobody's even going to try and redo it.

I heard the exact same thing. Didn't they even make a poster? I remember seeing an Evil Dead IV poster at the movie theater once, but I read on ComingSoon.net that they took it off the market and banned it until it was confirmed a 4th one be done. However, now that is not the case. Looks like they're going to try and do a remake. I'll try and find the poster.

Meh, the site I saw the only image had it deleted because it held due to copyright infringement for it being banned.

I can't beleive they are making another one, I didn't like the original lol

Just to throw this out there, they did have a broadway musical of Evil Dead.

Heres the home page for it:

LOL, the music makes me think of Grease

So if there was a musical, anything is possible

Overall, the broadway production was like Grease and a Gallagher show (spraying the audience with blood instead of smashed watermelons) put together

Sam is going to produce, but not direct. Hmmmmm.
He must have said "been there, done that"
But that won't stop him from taking the money.

A remake to Evil Dead might be good, but who knows. It may just turn out to be like trash just like other remakes have been.

I am 100 percent against this movie being made.

Evil Dead without an Ash?! urgh.

Yeah, I heard the Diablo Cody news a couple of months back - not including Ash is new to me, though.

I've been reading rumors and interviews for years about it. I seriously doubt there will ever be a sequel with Ash, but I think the remake is inevitable.

I actually don't mind the remake if it's truly meant as a re-imagining of the basic outline sans Ash. That would be interesting to see, though I have no expectation it will be good.

I read an interview somewhere awhile back where Bruce basically said that Raimi had no interest in making another sequel to the series despite it being beloved by many horror fans eager for a 4th. Though having a strong & loyal cult following, Raimi no longer wanted to be directly associated with Evil Dead apparently, since his success with films like Spiderman.

Don't know myself, but I think there's a lot of money still left to be squeezed out of the Evil Dead name, so although they'll never do it right and please fans with a big budget 4th finale starring Ash they've wanted all these years, there will almost certainly be a remake and probably crap sequels to it will follow.

I admit it would be interesting to see but without Bruce I just don't see how it can be any good.
