New ‘Evil Dead 2’ Details Emerge

The next installment of the Evil Dead franchise is headed your way. Directed by Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground), however, the sequel will not star Bruce Campbell or be set in the infamous cabin, word is, it will be set in a high rise. “I’m confident I’m going to do something that’s both familiar and refreshing. I’m gonna deliver a rollercoaster of horror,” Lee Cronin recently told BD’s The Boo Crew Podcast. “That’s what the goal is here. Relentless. Not stopping to explain too much. It needs to be extremely visceral, highly entertaining, properly scary. To push boundaries, that’s important as well.” Talking with AL.com earlier this week, Bruce Campbell who is producing the film gave more details, revealing that Evil Dead Rise, will feature a female heroine like the 2013 movie. What we’re doing now is we’re saying, ‘Look, this is another Evil Dead movie and that book gets around, a lot of people run into it

‘Hail To The Deadites’ Doc Making World Premiere At Fantasia

It’s been seven years in the making, now Hail to the Deadites is finally set to make its world premiere at next month’s Fantasia International Film Festival. When it comes to a classic horror movie, you’ll be hard-pressed to find more loyal fans than that of the iconic Evil Dead franchise starring the oh so groovy Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, the chainsaw-handed lady’s man who makes slaying deadites his business. “Inspired by the 1981 classic’s cult following, Hail to the Deadites is a documentary about the fans of the Evil Dead franchise. Through interviews with the cast, crew, collectors, fans, freaks, and geeks, Hail to the Deadites seeks to illuminate the darkest reaches of the Evil Dead franchise’s undying and still-growing popularity, a popularity that has spawned four films, a TV series, comic books, figurines and surpassed even its creator’s wildest dreams. Hail to the Deadites puts the spotlight on the fans that cultivated and spread this groovy pop-culture

Bruce Campbell Reveals New ‘Evil Dead’ May Begin Filming In 2020

Just because Bruce Campbell (interview) has retired from his role as Ash Williams doesn’t mean that we have seen the last of the Evil Dead franchise. It was announced several months ago that a new Evil Dead movie is in the works, one that will see a still-unnamed young unnamed filmmaker in the director’s chair. During a Q&A at the Fan Expo in Vancouver last weekend Campbell teased that the new installment may begin filming this year. We’re producing more Evil Dead movies. Maybe one later this year. Sam Raimi has hand picked the next guy to make another creepy Evil Dead. It just won’t have Ash. Yeah, it’s cool. There are more stories to tell, sir.” While we all wish Campbell would come out of retirement, I am happy to see a new Evil Dead movie. I do wonder if it is a true sequel or if it will more resemble the “Ash vs Evil Dead” series or Fede

Sam Raimi Says We’re Getting A New ‘Evil Dead’ Movie!

You ask any horror fan about the Evil Dead franchise and odds are they’ll rave about how awesome it is and that they wish we’d get another installment. Franchise co-creator Sam Raimi we are definitely getting another movie! While he’s not sure which direction it will go, at least we know we’ll get something. Raimi has also said that it will come sooner, rather than later. While making his rounds to promote Crawl, Alexandre Aja’s gator movie, which Raimi produced, he did an interview and was asked about “Ash vs Evil Dead’s cancelation last year and if we’d get a movie sequel. This what he had to say: I’d love to make another one. I don’t think TV is in its future but we’re talking about, Bruce [Campbell], Rob [Tapert], and myself, one or two ways to go for the next movie. We’d like to make another Evil Dead feature and in fact we’re working on some ideas now.” Campbell

The rumor mill has been going in overtime since Bruce Campbell teased earlier this week that more of the Evil Dead franchise was on its way. Today, we finally know what he was teasing, a new immersive Evil Dead video game! And no, we’re not talking about Dead by Daylight.

But he was crystal clear about one thing, Ash is retired. During a recent chat with TV Insider, he talked a little about the new game. We’ll see more Evil Dead, that’s for sure.

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
