The Return of the Evil Dead

Over on Reddit (and let’s just go ahead and have a sidebar about that, shall we? Reddit is very popular, but I personally think that it’s just terrible. Reddit is worse than 4Chan. Let me explain: 4Chan is a sewer, but at least the sign over the door clearly says “Warning! Sewer! Reddit is also a sewer, but their sign says “Welcome to the Internet!) Sam Raimi did one of those Ask Me Anything chats that famous people are fond of doing these days.  It was no surprise that Evil Dead was a big topic of conversation.

You can read the chat here (but, you know, it’s Reddit). The TL;DR is yes, there will be more Evil Dead. Someone has been tapped to write and direct a new film with Raimi and Tapert producing.  It isn’t clear how this film will tie in with the three original Evil Dead  films (Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, Army of Darkness) and the series (Ash Versus the Evil Dead) or the remake (directed by Fede Alvarez).

Raimi also mentioned that he wants to make another Evil Dead film with Bruce Campbell, but (as has been reported before) Bruce says that he has retired the character. Personally, I hope he changes his mind. I want to know what happens after the end of the TV show and I want more Kelley and Pablo.
