The name's Ash, housewares.

This has to be the true ending, for the cult status. End of the world is more up my street though  :)

Been researching this for a long time now, and I doubt it will happen. According to everything I've read on fansites Bruce isn't interested and seems rather irritated about it, while Raimi is more than happy to talk about it and says there is a script in the works. I can't remember when I read that though...

IMO the first Evil Dead is the best, simply because of how awesome Raimi and the cast made it despite having a serious limiting budget and crew. The camera work is very guerrilla style, and the commentary I have on my DVD is excellent and points out so many things I never noticed. Like in one scene where Ash is talking to Scotty about how his girlfriend can't stand up. Bruce explains on his commentary track how he had a cold in that scene, and after listening to him in that scene over and over, you can hear how stuffed up he his. :)

I would like to see something new to the series, as long as Jim Carrey isn't playing Ash...

That is not what I have heard.

Raimi and Bruce are very good friends.
Also.  Bruce, The Chin, has dropped a few hints that there maybe a fourth film (with himself playing a cameo part).

So There!  ;D

I'd rather it never happened than Bruce reduced to a cameo, fullstop.  There's not a single good reason to continue the franchise without him as the central character.  Not one.  That's on par with Halloween 3 which had a distinct lack of Michael Myers (and goodness).

I mean let's remember all the good movies that went bad, because people thought a cameo might save it. Geez. Evil Dead=Bruce Campell. End of story. It's like Ghostbusters without Bill Murray, Dan Acroyd, and those two guys. It's like Star Trek without Captain Kirk and Spok. It's like Star Wars without a Skywalker. It's like life without meaning. Full stop!
Worked on Strangeland, Primordia, Hob's Barrow, The Cat Lady, Mage's Initiation, Until I Have You, Downfall, Hunie Pop, and every game in the Wadjet Eye Games catalogue (porting)

I know they're good friends. I'm a fan of all their stuff, especially the early super 8 stuff. Ever watch Within The Woods?

Like I said, I can't remember where I read it, so chances are it's not true.

Huge BC fan here. Even own his first dramatic feature "Going Back."

The way I see it with the Evil Dead franchise is that it should be left where it is. Let the legacy rest. The trilogy is good enough. There's no need to continue it or remake it. Moving on is the best route.

As far as BC is concerned? At age 51, he's doing fine with his current roles. Also, I LOVED "My Name is Bruce" and cannot wait for its sequel "Bruce vs Frankenstein" to come out. As long as he continues doing his outrageous/schlock-tastic films, I'm content.

Yeah I don't think an Evil Dead film without Bruce Campbell would do well at all.  In other horror movie marathons, I spent all day today watching the Phantasm films.. hehe.. Yay for being sick.

In some ways Drag Me To Hell is like an unofficial sequel to the Evil Dead films. Without Bruce Campell, granted.
THE FAR CORNERS OF THE WORLD: Chapter 2 currrently in the works...

My thoughts exactly. Like a modern day Evil Dead.

How did I miss such an obvious innuendo?  :=
