NEWS: Bruce Campbell Interested in Future Evil Dead Movie?
Jul. 9
Could Campbell Load the Shotty One More Time?
With a season two premiere of a non-horror series debuting for Bruce Campbell on USA ("Burn Notice"), the iconic b-movie funny man has been sitting down for press interviews and shameless plug-ins. In specific, Campbell sat down with Dalton Ross of Entertainment Weekly and in conjunction with his new projects, couldn't for the life of him avoid the ineluctable Evil Dead questioning. Good natured however, Campbell exhorted fans NOT to expect an Ash reprisal anytime in the near future UNLESS one of his closest buddies and the man responsible for the original is onboard as director as well (that of course being Sam Raimi). He went on to add that Raimi is in high Hollywood demand at the moment, creatively tilling 'fertile' land with bigger and bolder projects. Campbell quips: "we can do those movies anytime. When I'm in the old actor's home and Sam is in the old director's home, he'll call me up and we'll make one more..." Check out what he goes on to say below!
Final Word: I don't know about you, but any tinge of hope that keeps the possibility of Campbell coming back for one more (at least) kick-ass stint as the deity known as Ash makes everything seem right in the world. I love the fact that he won't comprise and do another just for the sake of doing another; only fully committed if Raimi is as well. As it should be Bruce, smart move sir! I just hope Raimi's new horror film Drag Me to Hell is if not financially successful, acts as a slight spark to a Kerosene dipped wick - exploding an invigorated fervor in Raimi that will inspire him to get back on the horror track after being absent for roughly 15 years. Ah, hopes!

That would be so freakin sweet! He's right, if Raimi didn't direct it wouldn't even be a real Evil Dead film. It also wouldn't be the real deal if Bruce didn't play the part of Ash. Only having both will work, and I'd be pissed if they replaced either of them.
Damn. That makes me so incredibly happy to see that Campbell is at least open to reprising his role as Ash. I hope Evil Dead IV is more like Army of Darkness where Ash travels to another time period.
I would love to see a new evil dead movie but, alas I think the closest thing that we are going to get is the video games.
"it smells like a locker room, it's really scary, it was made with heinous chemicals." Haha, Campbell hasn't lost the funny bone at least. By the way, try and nab a whiff of a blackened swamp lily pad, see how that treats you Bruce.
