Ash is only a cult hero because of Bruce Campbells performance. Without his take and input into the character the movies wouldnt be half as successful as they have been

to remake the movies with someone else as Ash is insanity. And the only way it might work is if they choose someone like xander off Buffy to be in the role.

But even then hed be doing an imitation of bruce campbells performance so what would be the point in doing it at all?

everyone wants evil dead 4 but theres no point in a remake. use the money for something else

i herd that hole thing got canned(along with freddy vs jason vs ash) cause sam rami wouldent sell them the rights to ash

thats what i heard too, as well as bruce saying he wouldnt do either if his character was killed.

A remake won't "ruin" the original 3. That's preposterous. As long as the originals remain on the shelves it's all good. If Raimi wants to spend millions of his own money remaking his own damn creation, why the hell not? Fact is...it'll probably make the original 3 far more popular than they already are.

I'm very new to ATZ and even I can tell you this remake is old news. I haven't heard anything about it being canned but I did read that the hero will NOT be named Ash per Bruce Campbell's orders. Here's a couple of old links...

I have to agree with Sanelizando...I love seeing all of these remakes hitting the big screen!! Hell, alot of people on here should be thankful 'cause some of them probably aren't even old enough to have gotten to see Evil Dead or even Day of the Dead on the big screen. If these remakes weren't coming out, what would you be looking forward to this summer? War of the Worlds and Fantastic 4? Booooring!!!!!!!

id like to see a big budget new evil dead with ash in the starring role.

A remake without ash or a remake with a character not called ash seems pointless. As the whole success rests on burce campbells performance.

if sams floating big bucks about he should contribute to Bubba Ho Tep 2

Heres whats going on...wish I could find the link,but I cant find it.
Evil Dead remake is proceeding:
Bruce Campbell will not star in it.
Talks were going on that "Stiffler" from American Pie will take on the role of Ash.
Sam Riami will not be directing it as Spiderman 3 and 4 are taking up his time.
Ghost House pictures will be doing it.
After the remake,talk of Evil Dead four taking place (finally) seems like it may happen.
Campbell is interested in reprising his role as Ash in part 4.
I know I found the link running Evil Dead remake in MSN search!
Personally,I really dont care for remakes...but I would watch a new twist on Evil Dead....as long as the new Ash didnt imitate Bruce Campbell.
Time will tell people.

I'm thinking it was an old article Rotting. Bruce has already laid clame to his Ash character--and there will be NO Ash in the remake.

Being a huge fan of the ED series, I can honestly say I have no intrest in the remake--with or without the Ash character. I am however very intrested in an ED4--or Aod2 as it would likely be called.

The sad news is we will probably never get one--Sam has to forefill all his Spiderman commetments first...and with the popularity growing on it, I can easly see it going on to make a spidy 5 or 6...and by that time the Ash character would be playing a new character...Dusty!

BC online--
The ED4 rumors are unfounded at the present time. We all want to do another sequel, but it's more about the calendar than anything - mostly Sam's. It's a "wait and see" right now.
BC

The project that got canned was the FvJvA--because Sam didn't want to 'sell' Ash, or should I say Bruce wouldn't--he owns the character rights. The remake didn't get scrapped.

sam wants to do 4 right after spider man 3 which will be a while cause he isnt gonna be done writing spidey 3 till around 2006. i would like to see the remake. its not gonna be a remake exactly from what ive heard its gonna be the same idea, just different people and different characters. it should be interesting to see. the one i really thought would be entertaining was freddy vs jason vs ash. that would be so cool. ash would so obliterate freddy and jason.
ummm yeah, when your the first guy to loped his own hand off then used it to attach your chainsaw then your gonna have the upper hand against a killer from hell and a rivived dead guy who drowned (ash naturally has the upper hand against undead dudes).

Too Soon? Army Of Darkness came out in '93 right? That's more than long enough!!! Plus, there were really only 2 movies if you think about it since Dead By Dawn was pretty much just a bigger budget do-over of Evil Dead. This is a GREAT idea for a remake and will bring a nice part 4 to us with Bruce Campbell. It's been pointed out time and time again but I'll say it once more...There probably wouldn't be a Land of the Dead without the Dawn remake's success so let's all get behind the ED remake. WTF...Everyone here would go see it anyway...Even those who are pissed about it!

Absofrigginlutely!! Bruce Campbell is just one of those guys who, unfortunately, doesn't fit into many roles written these days. But when he does land one he nails it dead on. He's one of those actors that writers write parts specifically for because his method is unique and cannot be copied. Let's face it, pretty much anyone could play Dennis Hopper's part in Land and it wouldn't make a bit of difference, but just try having someone else play Ash and it just won't fly. That's most likely the reason nobody is talking shit about the main character in the remake not being called Ash. It's because that role can't possibly be played by anyone else. Tony Todd did an excellent job playing Ben in NOTLD 1990 and that's because that role, along with most any other role I can think of, isn't even close to the challenge that it would be to duplicate Bruce Campbell's Ash character.

I think people will be shocked at how well Campbell can act when they get a chance to see him in the upcoming flick, The Woods. He's definitely not a shitty actor, just a typecast b-movie actor. That doesn't mean shitty.

I'd also love to see a remake. I have the originals so nobody will ruin anything for me.

Pain

06-11-2005, 03:59 AM

Have given it some thought, and i don't necessarily think a remake would be such a bad thing. As long as they don't try to copy Raimi. He remade it himself after all! I think the story of Evil Dead leaves a lot of possibilities open for further plot expansions that weren't fully developed in the originals. There have been some really good remakes over the years, such as the Fly, The Thing, Dawn and TCM, that have stayed relatively faithful to the originals yet were not blatant copies ala Psycho, each adding there own take to the stories.
Lets hope whichever studio fronts up the money has a little faith in whoever makes the movie (if it ever happens) and lets them give us a real tour de force of horror, cos i don't think they will out do the humour of the originals.

anyone doubting campbells acting ability should see him in Bubba Ho Tep. Nice understated piece of acting, no shouting, no wild facial expressions just a nice piece of human frailty.

of course it also contains the line:

"I'll be damned if I let some foreign, graffiti writin', soul suckin', son of a bitch in an oversized cowboy hat and boots take my friend's souls and shit 'em down the visitors toilet!"

Is Coscarelli still gonna do a sequel or did that get squashed? I seem to remember there being talk of a Phantasm 5 or whatever number they're up to now but that's the last I heard. I used to LOVE Phantasm but then part 4 ruined the whole series. Is Angus Scrimm even still alive?

bruce (47) is a wee snippet compared to harrison (63) and sly (59)

though harrions now 4 years older than sean connery was when he played indianas dad in the last crusade

sly looks fantastic for his age, harrisons still got the body of a thirty year old but his face is getting flabby and cranky now

to be honest i dont like the thought of a decrepit indy simply because hes like a hero, and heros cant grow old and they cant get hurt

saying that though it would be kindov cool to see an older ash, still working in some store. kindov like his character in Bubba Ho Tep but fit enough to kick some serious ass

I hate the idea of remakes because it's impossible to recreate a true classic. It has to do more than with just the actual movie; in addition to the writing, acting, etc the time period, environment, and real-world happenings all contributed to making those movies what they were. BTW I hope The Warriors is not remade.

I don't know how you could produce a Evil Dead remake without the character of Ash... It's just like when they make the Superman movies... The character, not the actor, lives on.

06-21-2005, 04:55 AM

One of the best things about Indy was that he did get hurt and complained about it when it happened. It made him real he had real fears, limped away from fights that he almost didn't win. Heck sometimes he didn't even win the fights. I think at one point he even says I'm getting to old for this thats what made him such a great hero, Ash is the same way. I just don't know if you could replace him with anyone else and still have the same great feel of an Evil Dead.

EVIL DEAD REMAKE NEWS (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=4769&Template=newsfull)

While on the set of Richard Kelly's Southland Tales, star Sean William Scott was asked about the rumors that he may play Ash in the upcoming Evil Dead remake. His response, a laugh and a clarification that it was a bogus rumor. He also joked that he'd LOVE the role, but would be really nervous to go there (venemous fans everywhere!). Watch this spot for interviews with The Rock, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seann William Scott and director Richard Kelly sometime in the near future. Southland Tales, which is looking for a release sometime next year, is a a genre-blender, this time combining thriller, comedy and musical elements in a near-future story set during a Los Angeles heat wave. "Southland" is an ensemble piece set in the futuristic landscape of Los Angeles on July 4, 2008, as it stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental disaster.

Vince Vaughn. He can do scary (Psycho) and he can do funny (Wedding Crashers, Dodge Ball, Old School). Put all that together and I think that we would have a rather fine candidate. Although, the thing that would hurt Vaughn is that he is not a very physical actor, whereas Bruce Campell is, and the role would undoubtably call for that quality.

Now there's a B-movie actor you can depend on! If Howell was able to morph with Lance Henriksen, Michael Ironside, Udo Kier, James Remar & Gary Busey into one giant b-movie voltron I'd die a happy man!

He's dropped from B-movie status but several of my friends insist on throwing him into what we call...THE ULTIMATE B-MOVIE. It features b-movie classics like Danny Trejo, Bruce Payne, Michael Ironside and Kari Wuhrer. Lamas has dipped but he's still kicking so he's cool in my book.

No Ash in Evil Dead Remake?

Here's a little piece from Bloody Disgusting (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=4927&Template=newsfull) about an interview with Bruce Cambell over at Dread Central (http://www.horrorchannel.com/dread/modules.php?op=modload&name=Interviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=123).

Ash Exits the 'Evil Dead' Remake?

Even though Sam Raimi's brother Ted was quoted (here (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/4837)) as saying that the Evil Dead remake might not happen, Bruce Campbell sounds quite the opposite- he's even spilled the beans that there might not even be an Ash in the remake! How retarded is that? The original tells the tale of a group of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, where they find an unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. One by one, the teens become deadly zombies. Read on for the skinny.

During an interview with Dread Central, Bruce explains:"I don’t think we’re gonna have an Ash. I think we’re gonna take similar elements like the book in that it’s sort of as though the book is resurfacing with a – in a new situation. So that way, ya know, you don’t hassle with the whole who is getting Ashton Kutcher to play Ash or some horse****, ya know? You don’t have to play that game."

I think theres a different article at HORRORWEB NEWS quoting Bruce saying something like- "it would just be like a rehash of things but not the same thing, like a new set of kids come and find the book, that way they wouldnt have to deal with whos going to be the new ash and such."

I think its for the better just becasue I dont think I would like these movies half as much as I do if they didnt have the ASH character.

Big evil dead fan.. But u dont want a remake.. itd be wrong.. you defo want a Evil dead 4. somethin like.. "evil dead 4. hail to the king".. if you did. you have to have bruce campbell. You cant have an evil dead, without the B-Movie slapstick king. it wouldnt feel right. i know remakes are good.. like dawn of the dead.. thats bad ass. But you cant replace bruce. you know it makes sense :drool:

Wasn't there an Evil Dead 4 thread around here somewhere? Seems to have vanished.

Anyway, just came across this news-

Sam Raimi's next movie after Spiderman is not going to be an Evil Dead film- it's Terry Pratchett's Wee Free Men. Details are here. (http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22164)

Perhaps we're not going to see Ash in another movie afterall?

Personally, I liked the first 2, the third was eh....ok....

I don't think that if they remade them, I would want to see them-maybe the first two, but that's it.

Personally, even if they made a 4th, I'm not sure I would want to see it. I saw the 3rd only cuz it was on t.v. and there really wasn't anything else to watch...

But I thought the first two were GREAT!

Pain

01-12-2006, 12:14 PM

I'm not personally a big fan of remakes fullstop. But, there have been some fairly good ones recently.

The only reason to remake the Evil Dead movies would be if they had something new to offer. Personally I think they'd be better off making a 4th movie

WeeMan

01-12-2006, 02:20 PM

true.. a 4th movie should be made. i loved all 3. the 3rds ma favourite.. but the cliffhanger at the end made a warm welcome for a 4th

02-10-2006, 07:51 PM

After making Spider-man 1,2,3, somebody told me, "Why would he go back to B-Horror films to make Evil Dead 4?"

Bruce Campbell constantly says it ain't gonna happen.

Then I read a Raimi interview, "I'll make Evil Dead 4, and let the other guys make a remake of the first one."

If Evil Dead 4 is gonna happen with Campbell as the lead, it better happen soon, before Bruce starts looking like the old 'Elvis' from Bubba-ho Tep, though that could be funny.

Frost

02-10-2006, 07:59 PM

Evil Dead 4 has been rumored for years.

I loved the first 3 movies. Army of Darkness... cult classic... hell.. they all are. Heh, the "Evil Camera" as I called it from the first two movies... that wide shot camera chasing Bruce... Heh, makes me laugh every time.

I agree with chickenchop. Though... :doh: They'd probably incorporate his older age (if he did look like that old Elvis... lol..) into the story. Like... Ash is old but takes up the boomstick and chainsaw once again for the sake of humanity! ...wow

it woudlnt be b-horror, raimi has loads of cash now. nationwide release for evil dead 4 if it gets made. Although it probably wont be called ED4, theyd most likely name it something else casue why would a mainstream movie goer go see a 4th of a series... like they did with Mad Max 2 and named it the Road Warrior.

I think the fame of the three movies come from the cheap produktion, Bruce Campbell, the simple story and the good teamwork of the old team.
A remake can't work with any of these points, so it won't be an Evil dead movie, just some new age splatter shit.
Not interested at all.

Last I read Sam Raimi's GhostHouse pictures is producing the remake; which is supposed to have an all new cast, no ASH, as it should be, since an ASH impersonator doesn't belong in a remake in my opinion; respecting the fine work(ass-kicking) of Bruce Campbell.

Personally, I want to see Evil Dead 4.

It might not turn out to be any good, or then again it might. However, I doubt that Raimi will see it as a waste of money, as he will no doubt rake it in.

Let's remember, he already basically remade The Evil Dead when he made Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn

Have any of you seen bruce campbell's official website? It looks like he may be involved in a remake or sequel after all according to his site.

http://www.bruce-campbell.com/projects/evil-dead-remake.htm

Role: Producer
Release Date: TBD

"The remake 'concept' has been getting a lot of feedback lately, and not all of it good. Folks can relax in knowing that we would never knowingly screw up the series. A remake will get made fairly soon, but there is no start date, no director and no script. Other than that, we're ready to jump into production!" -BC

It did have its comical moments i'll give you that, but i always think remakes are interesting and i always love to compare on how far off the original they go but nothing beats a classic even if i dont really like it too much.

03-07-2007, 07:47 PM

Evil dead had some of the most original over the top demonology in your face(and every where else) horror made before during or since. I can see maybe how you might think it is cheesy but if you suspend hyper criticism and let the speeding camera and creepy transformations frighten you it's a great completely unique horror film.

DentFoster

08-23-2007, 01:15 PM

I have no problem with remakes. I find it fun to compare them, but....
Does anybody else find it impossible to have an Evil Dead remake without Ash? That's like having a party without any guests... WTF? I would actually go to the theater to see this even if someone else was playing Ash. It could be done, as the success of the musical has proven. Granted Bruce Is Ash and those shoes are very, very hard to fill. But having a remake and completely removing the primary character is just plain stupid. I would rather see a re-make with Jackie Chan playing Ash than no Ash at all. Come to think of it, that would be pretty feckin hilarious. Ok, Keanu Reeves as Ash. Now that would be a disgrace, but I'd rather that than no Ash at all.
I'm done ranting now.

Really! I'm probably gonna get gunned down within two minutes of saying this, but I was never that impressed with the Evil Dead series. What kept me coming back was Ash, because he was truly a great charectar to me.

If it wasn't for Bruce Campbell playing Ash, we may have never even heard of The Evil Dead. I personally love all three movies, but I can't even imagine them without Bruce.
