Sam Raimi Confirms We Will See More From The ‘Evil Dead’ Franchise

Evil Dead fans, brace yourself, Sam Raimi has now confirmed that he is indeed making another Evil Dead film! The Evil Dead and Army of Darkness director confirmed while at the New York Comic-Con where he is promoting Ghost House Pictures reboot of Grudge, that he will continue the Evil Dead franchise with Bruce Campbell on board, this time not as the star but as a producer. Fede Álvarez’s 2013 female-led remake was the last time we saw the franchise on the big screen, however, Campbell last reprised his role as Ash was in the “Ash Vs Evil Dead” series which has now been canceled. Soon after the cancelation, Campbell announced that he was retiring as Ash much to the dismay of fans. During our interview with Campbell, he told us that part of the reason was that “There is no more I can give the character physically, or mentally, or spiritually.” That’s a pretty good reason in my book.

Bruce Campbell Says We Haven’t Seen The Last Of ‘Evil Dead’ Universe

Last year we talked with Bruce Campbell (interview) about life after retiring his character Ash Williams from the Evil Dead franchise. Recently, that seems to have changed. Campbell was recently out promoting his upcoming hosting duties for “Ripley’s Believe It Or Not” and teased that the Evil Dead universe is far from over. They’re going to see different versions, they’re going to be seeing more ‘Evil Dead,’ too. We’re not done with the ‘Evil Dead’ saga, more stories to tell.” The question is, what does he mean? Will we see Pablo and Kelly from “Ash vs Evil Dead” in a spin-off? Will we get another installment from the Jane Levy remake? This isn’t the first time a sequel to the 2013 remake has mentioned. I’ll be honest, I’d love to see either. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. In the 2013 remake was written and directed by Fede Alvarez. Sam Raimi, who directed the original, produced the

2016’s genre hit Don’t Breathe from Fede Alvarez made one hell of an impression with fans. It was revealed back in December that it would be getting a sequel. It was confirmed this week by Alvarez himself that the sequel is still on and he was kind enough to give a couple of details including that the film will center on Stephen Lang’s character (the blind man). While speaking to IGN Alvarez had this to say: The Challenge obviously is we just don’t want to do the same movie again and just have a 2 in it.” Producer Sam Raimi chimed in with what seems like a real vote of confidence in the story that Alvarez wants to tell next. It’s only the greatest idea for a sequel I’ve ever heard.
