Sam Raimi Talks Return of the 'Evil Dead' Franchise... http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/15601 Print This Page I've already thrown my hands up in the air and stopped caring, but if Sam Raimi ever does make a fourth Evil Dead film, without a shadow of a doubt I'd be one of the first in line. Raimi was on hand at the SXSW festivities in Austin, Texas today to promote his latest horror venture, Drag Me to Hell, which had its official premiere there this evening. While at the screening, the director basically reiterated old news, while chiming in on Bruce Campbell's exclamation of "no way in hell". Sam Raimi is giving us blue balls (again) as he's once again rekindled our hope of seeing Ash on the big screen. Personally, I think it's pretty mean to keep throwing nuggets of hope at us, especially when Campbell put this baby to rest a few months ago. "When IGN caught up with star Bruce Campbell earlier in the year, he was hesitant about signing up for a fourth, claiming that the fan backlash to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull should give everyone involved pause for thought. "I liked Indy 4," Raimi said when we put this to him. "He's probably just trying to get out of getting in shape! "Like any movie it's hard to say if you want to do it or if you don't want to do it until there is a script to talk about," he continued. "So one day I hope to have the time to write a script, and if that happens I'm hoping that Bruce will change his mind." " Well, there you have it, Raimi basically saying "maybe one day". As for the remake of The Evil Dead, he's still looking for the right director. "I have talked with my partners about having a young director come in and remake Evil Dead," he revealed. "That film was made in 16mm on a shoestring budget and blown up to 35mm. The visual effects are crumby, it was done in mono, not even stereo, let alone 5.1. What you could do with it now would be so much better. "I think if you had a new director using the full power of 35mm and 5.1 sound, you could really make a pretty socko presentation. It was always meant for the big screen, but never really seen on the big screen." " But really, do we even need a remake, especially if a fourth film is possible? Make up your f*cking mind already and do it. Source: http://movies.ign.com/articles/962/962774p1.html
