excellent! ;D ;D ;D ;D
WOOOHOOO!!
That's all.
I knew about a month ago ;)
But yes, it's awesomeness
A remake isn't really what I want. There Is nothing wrong with the first two.
Has anybody red the comic version of Army of Darkness? It has a different ending.
Ash uses his car as a time capsule and wakes up in the future.
When I read the topic I thought they caught Bin Laden, or that the cure for cancer was discovered... Pitty...
When I first saw this thread, right below it was "Bet you didn't see THIS coming..." so I figured the bandwagon was starting to roll. ;)
Almost thought Bill & Ted 3... Nevermind.. :D
I loved the Evil Dead series, especially Army of Darkness. A 4th movie could be great. I just hope they use Ash and stay true to his character.
I bet it turns out a massive dissapointment. I WANT it to be amazing and cool and as good as the first 3, but I just... can't... bring myself... to believe... it...
Which is how I feel Cap'n...
If, as he says, there isn't that large of a fan base... Why remake the first movie and then make a sequel to the original trilogy?
Just let Ash exist in the movies he's in and ignore all the comics and games he has...
And ignore Freddy VS Jason VS Ash...
And "JurrASHic Park"... THAT was one crossover movie too far...
I heard that Campbell won't even be playing Ash.
BLASPHEMY!!! >:(
What?!?!
Ash not played by Bruce Campbell? NO!
The movie won't be the same without him, so I think I'll give this movie a miss.

:( that's so wrong!
I don't uderstand... I saw him in Spiderman and he still seems in shape for doing it.
I'd love to see both of these films, but if they make an Evil Dead IV (and I still see that as a big 'if'), they'd better set it after Army Of Darkness's 'future' ending instead of the shop ending, or there'll be hell to pay!
But anyway, I wouldn't get too excited just yet. It's best not to take imdb as gospel: they kept up an 'in production' page for Terry Gilliam's Good Omens film for something like two years after the project was cancelled.
As far as I can tell, all Raime has said about Evil Dead IV is that he'd like to do one at some point. I'm pretty sure the 2006 date was made up in the head of some no-good scallywag, because I can't find a direct quote for that date from anyone involved in the production anywhere.

Well you have to admit that an Evil Dead remake has far more commercial potential then an Evil Dead IV/Army Of Darkness II starring a middle-aged Bruce Campbell.
Raime's logic is to make a flashy, heavily marketed Evil Dead film targeted at the younger demographic that watched his Ghost House films (The Grudge and Boogyman), and then later to make a lower budget, lower-key Evil Dead IV targeted at a completely different audience of trilogy fans.
Also, if an Evil Dead IV is made, I very much doubt they'll actually call it "Evil Dead IV". Releasing a direct EDIII sequel with that title so soon after the release of a high-profile film called "The Evil Dead" would likely just confuse and alienate casual viewers, and I doubt they'd want to risk that.
But that's all moot, because I'll only believe an Evil Dead IV will ever exist until after I've watched it. And even then I might not believe it.
ps. The remake won't have Ash in it at all - apparently CAMPBELL HIMSELF!!! asked Raime not to include a character by that name.
Apparently the remake is without Ash and has a new director. But number four has Raimi and is about Ash. I dont think Raimi would want anyonew else for the part.

Listen up, you effeminate screw-heads, it's spelled R-A-I-M-I.

Yeah, I read that Raimi just wanted to let some unknown/new director direct the Evil Dead remake, and for him to have as little input on it as he can. I think that'll be really neat, and fun to watch personally.
As for Evil Dead IV, I know Sam Raimi has said on multiple occasions that he won't do it unless he gets everyone back for the sequel, I'm pretty sure you won't have anything to worry about. Just look at Spider-Man 2, and all the Evil Dead-isms in it!

Yes, that was hilarious - I particularly liked the scene when Doc Ock woke up in the operating theatre.

I'm sorry I wounded your inner child.

^ you didn't so much 'wound' my inner child as let it spend an innocence-stealing weekend over at a suspicious uncle's house.
My Dad and brother deny that the hospital scene in Spiderman II has anything to do with Evil Dead... I'm glad other people caught it.

Oh, that Crazy Uncle McFeely! Sorry again about that.

I loved the business with the broom cupbourd in Spider Man 2... THAT seemed like classic Raimi to me. Although the hospital scene was CLEARLY evil dead throwback!
I thought it was interesting how much better Spider Man 2 was to the origional. I think it was mainly to do with the feel of Evil Dead Playfulness in the newer one...
