Evil Dead 4 News

[BLADES]

As well as news on the remake. now I know no one here likes the idea of the remake, but it IS going to happen, so in the words of the great Arrow-in-the-head, "Just gotta live with it and hope for the best. Who knows, we might all be surprised."

Anyway, although there is some good news for the Evil Dead remake mentioned (Such as Sean William Scott having nothing to do with it), it's the Evil Dead 4 news that has me giddy. Campbell back as Ash, plus other returning actors and actresses from the previous parts! Also, Evil Dead 4 will be starting prduction this year!

EVIL DEAD NEWS (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=3270&Template=newsfull)

Sam Raimi and Tapert, when asked if they were considering Sean Scott Williams for the part of Ash, looked at each other for a minute and then, together said, "Who is that?" Sam then said, "I don't think I've ever heard of him".

In regards to 'Evil Dead 4 Raimi says, "There will be an Evil Dead 4, and there will ALSO be an Evil Dead Remake. The remake will be produced by Ghost House pictures, (his company with Tapert) and it will star a new cast and a completely new director. The point of Ghost House is that we want to bring new directors (like Takashi Shimizu of "the Grudge" to Hollywood and give them a chnace to make a good horror film."

On WHAT inspired him to allow the remake, Raimi said, "I love the original Dawn of the Dead, and I also really enjoyed the new Dawn of the Dead. I mean, they are both really great horror films. I want to let somebody with a fresh vision bring The Evil Dead to a new generation and a new audience with a different vision..."

Contrary to what Raimi told Mr. D, the remake will be Evil Dead 1 and 2 together, but remade with a higher budget and a new cast and crew.

However, Raimi will be directing and producing Evil Dead 4, which will star Bruce Campbell as ASH and will also have many of the actors from the previous Evil Dead movies. Raimi says that "This is the project I really want to make. The remake can belong to someone else, but part 4 will be a continuation of the original".

Ted and Sam Raimi have begun writing Part 4, and will be developing it for production later this year. Bruce Campbell and Tapert will both be involved...

***

To tell you the truth, my ONE and ONLY fear about the remake, is the trend of companies cutting down R Rated horror movies to PG-13. I'm not scared about anything else. Campbell is too old to return as a college character, so not having him as Ash doesn't bother me at all. Plus he's continuing the Ash character in Evil Dead 4, so it's not like we won't be seeing the Campbell Ash back again.

I can't wait to see ED4 and the remake...

I haven't seen it in a while, but I think there's already is a Evil Dead remake thread somewhere in this forum... I'll go a huntin' for it. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/bnz_smiley.gif

there is, the news on the remake just came with the evil dead 4 article...

[Bad Zombie Night]

OK, I forgot that there were two separate films being made (It's been a long while since I heard anything about either one)... The Evil Dead (remake), and Evil Dead 4 (sequel to Army of Darkness?) http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/bnz_smiley.gif

I think no one bothered to create a Evil Dead 4 thread, but it was talked about in the Remake thread... I suppose it's a good idea this one gets a thread of its own, so we can track its progression.

[Slumlord]

Evil Dead 4, Bruce Campbell, Raimi... kick ass. My favorite series of all time makes a return and combining my favorite actor and director again. Just can't go wrong. Hope more news develops soon.

I've also read somewhere that they were contemplating Evil Dead 4 for quite some time now but nothing ever came about... till now.

[Darth Erroneous]

My only question is which version of Army of Darkness will ED4 follow? The S-Mart ending or the "I slept too long!" ending.

I prefer the S-Mart ending... i know the serious is not realistic but if they had Ash vs. the Apocalpsye and Ash won all alone or even with an army of five hundred against fifty million that would just be way to fake as far as i'm concerned.

shit man, the remake has nothing on the original.

ya, and I should have done the special effects in The Thing :) if I could have you could bet there would be a whole lot more of blood...

[Darth Erroneous]

No remake will ever be better than the original. Look at Psycho. Van Zant did a shot-for-shot remake of the original and couldn't touch the suspense and mood of the original. Gone in 60 Seconds looked good and Cage was great, but pretty people and cars couldn't replace the original. Ocean's Eleven? Clooney is good, but Sinatra is the man. While I'm sure that the remake will definately be worth seeing, I'll always put my money on the original.

[zombiekilling101]

more the reason why you need to downoad an aim, to get our writing going:x

I dont think they'll turn the remake into a pg-13, dont think Sam would allow that. Especially since he used the Dawns as a example since Dawn 04 was a heavy R.

good...

now then, I wonder how the deadites will look in ED 4. will there be more then in Army because because in Army there was just skeletons, its not an Evil Dead film without Deadites... thats probably why it was called army of darkness.

[zombiekilling101]

I wonder where its going to take place, right after Smart incident or later down the line.. man I cant wait.

The deadites have to come back looking like the ones from ED1. And I wonder whos gona come back, the ladies of evil dead are hot as hell to me so hopefully there in there somewhere.

I want more deadites, I'm sure Sam i'll give us plenty of em, I just can't wait till this comes out...

[zombiekilling101]

been awhile since we've chatted about this.

I was thinking. Army of darkness was more of an action adventure/comedy movie while the first 2 evil dead had emphasis on violence/gore/slapstick.

if they were to make and ED4.. would you rather have it be a Army of Darkness type or a back to the horror Evil dead 1 and 2 movie?

[Crombie]

To tell the truth for all that I enjoyed Army of Darkness I really liked the horror in 1 and 2 better. Army of Darkness almost seemed like it was just a parody, and did not even feel like it "fit" with Evil Dead 1 and 2.

i couldnt agree more. but that dosent change the fact that i still enjoyed it:)

[raym]

I find myself watching AoD over and over again, rather than the others (although EDII is also groovy).

AoD is just funnier to me, really because Bruce does and says MUCH more.

And I love the 3 stooges ^_^

[pogosama]

I dont feel like reading all the way through, so ill just ask. Is Bruce Cambell in the movie? Or is he directing?

[Bad Zombie Night]

Is Bruce Cambell in the movie??
Unless things have changed... Yes, starring as Ash.




Or is he directing

Nope... That's Raimi's job. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/1bnz_smiley.gif

[corgi37]

AOD was a joke. Lost me totally. Dunno if they can capture the magic after over 25 years since the 1st.

[pogosama]

SWEET, i must see this movie

[zombiekilling101]

SWEET, i must see this movie

your dumb:dunce:

you really didnt like AOD at all corgi?

i prefer ED1 over them all but AOD was great to me.

[Morbidfilm]

The Evil Dead is my favorite film of all time, but I also think Army of Darkness is a complete joke. I guess on it's own it's a stupid, entertaining movie.
But as Evil Dead 3 it's a terrible excuse for a sequel. I just can't get into a horror version of the Three Stooges. I hate the three stooges to begin with. Unfortunately it's very obvious Raimi and Bruce Cambell only used the horror genre to break into the film industry. They just happened to be very good at it back then because they were hungry for it. I don't think they have it in them produce a serious, scary gorefest again.

[Zombie Survivor]

"Klaatu Verata N..." :doh::scare: (my favorite scene)

[Bad Zombie Night]

Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn was by far the best in the trilogy. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/1bnz_smiley.gif



The 'flying eyeball scene' was my favorite during the film.

[devourthesun]

Im excited to hear theres going to be an ED 4, but i've gotta say that I really prefer the first one, as a stand alone film. Its a brutal, bloody horror movie that scared the bejesus out of me when i saw it when i was like....9.

ED2 and AoD are funny, and more light hearted than the first film, and they almost feel like a completly diffrent series. but i think a 4th film will be good, probley a sequel to AoD, which is fine, i love AoD. Hopefully it actully gets made, and not just talked about

[livingdeadkev]

the first evil dead was my favorite. i just loved the atmosphere. as a matter of fact i'm going to go watch it. right now.

[skelington]

Evil Dead 2 was the best! A great blend of horror and humor. I'm really looking forward to see what they will come up with for number four. Ash in an end of the world type setting would be neat.

[Pain]

If they do make a part 4, and that is a big IF, they really need to raise the bar. The Evil Dead and Dead by Dawn were great movies, classics in fact, but although Armies of Darkness was a good movie and it was fun, it was a backward step in quality. Sure the humour was there, but none of the innovation of the first two.

[MrShape666]

I don't believe Evil Dead 4 will ever get made, but on the off chance that it does, I'm hoping they take off from the directer's cut ending of the film and have Ash trapped in a Mad Max like future.

As for the remake. Sam can blow me. Terrible idea, especially since I keep hearing that Ashton Kutcher will be playing Ash.

[pogosama]

if ashton kutcher plays in an evil dead remake i will kill myself and all those around me.

[xage]

What about the "in production" .. My Name is Bruce!... looks like a hectic sched for Bruce Campbell

no no no that was a bad rumour that was stomped a long time ago.

[DJXXX79]

They covered horror with ED 1 & 2, got Action/Adventure with AOD, I'd like to see them go with either the alternate ending and cover the Sci-Fi Genere for ED4, or follow up from the events of the video games....

[StevenKillsTheDead]

I read some of the treatment for this and have heard some rumors.

But i do think if they do it, IT HAS to be scary as hell. They cant make it campy or even try to recreate the magic of the orignal. It needs to be something new and Freakin Gory!

[Cybopath]

Its flimbsy, its short but its still gives me some hope.

Raimi on Evil Dead and Spider-Man (http://movies.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---23821,00.html)Althoe since when was Evil Dead the sequal to Army of Darkness?

from horror web news

Raimi to Write EVIL DEAD 4?
05-03-07 10:04am, Absinthe (absinthe@horror-web.com)
Bloody-Disgusting Scooped the following from the Herald Sun (http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/).

Spider-Man director tells The Herald Sun that he’s trying to recruit his brother Ivan to write the screenplay for a third sequel to his indy horror classic The Evil Dead, “I'm trying to get my brother, Ivan, to write the screenplay with me [for The Evil Dead 4. He wrote Army of Darkness, the third one, with me and we have been talking about another one, but we haven't started work on it”, says Raimi. Does this mean we won't be seeing the remake for the original Evil Dead?

I will believe it when I see it and will this mean there will be no Evil Dead Remake? We'll see..


So if they do decide to make the 4th like Bruce said 3 years ago after sam was done with Spidey 3.. it looks like there going to go the AOD way instead of a more horror type like evil 1 and 2. To me AOD was great but I'd rather have a splatter fest like evil dead 2 again.

I dont have a lot of hope that it will get made anytime soon though. they seem to drag there feet alot when talking about going back to horror.:-(

[Cybopath]

I think it'd be wise and Kind of cool it Raimi avoided the Evil Dead IV title. Like with Army of Darkness. Lets face it people alot of people would be like Evil Dead? what the hells that. "Deadites" would be a good title I think. That'd get asses in seats.

From The Director of "Spider-Man Trilogy" comes "Deadites". Regular audiences would be "like oh sounds interesting" and we'd be like "Deadites? Freaking hell Evil Dead 4!"

Come on Sam we love you, You gave us the best Super Hero franchise ever now get back with your baby and give us the biggest, weirdest, Not necessarily Goriest or scariest but most action packed installment of Ash Williams chainsaw filled life.

[zombiekilling101]

agreed. theres no way he could put an evil dead 4 in the theaters and not just get the horror buffs to see it. He needs to spice it up for the noobies.

[MrShape666]

Personally, I'd would love to see Evil Dead 4 spun off from Army Of Darkness' original ending where Ash finds himself in a post nuke future. Then it could be an Evil Dead version of Mad Max. I hated the new ending Universal made them shoot.

Its fairly obvious at this point that Sam Raimi is never going to do ED4. He's a big hot shot A list directer now, he probably thinks he's too good for that. Maybe Bruce Campell could dirtect it himself, but I doubt it. The remake is really all we can look forward to.

Unless somebody does a good film version of Evil Dead: The Musical. Have any of you heard that CD? Really friggin funny.

[DentFoster]

Unless somebody does a good film version of Evil Dead: The Musical. Have any of you heard that CD? Really friggin funny.

I was thinking about that the other day, wondering if it would be turned into a movie. The soundtrack is funny as hell!

If this does get made (ED4), as long as Bruce plays Ash I will see it in theaters. I've dug around and it seems there is no new news. :-(
It would be cool to see it take off from the original ending of AOD. Post Apocalyptic Mad Max style.

In light of Stallones great reprisals, how about just plain...

"Ash Williams"

Spun in with a satire of recent Action hero comebacks, Live Free, rambo, Indy.

Maybe Sam would never return to Direct :(, but if he Wrote and Produced would you trust a new Director?

I just dont see the evil dead trilogy coming back as the same stuff. Its not mainstream enough to be a stand alone money maker in the theater. The non horror fans that have seen them (that ive talked to) have mostly seen Army or Darkness and remark that its stupid.

No but if the film was just called "Ash Williams" from the Director of Spider-Man, it would bring in a new audience, but we'd be like Ash! Yee-haa!

To many to even discuss. Lets hope that this go around Sam Raimi is really ready and pushes it forward. He said at Comic Con that he and Ted Raimi his brother were getting together to begin work on it.

Are you sure he was talking about Evil Dead 4 or was it the Evil Dead remake? All the indicators up until now have been that Sam wasn't ever going to make an Evil Dead 4.

I even heard a rumor that Bruce Campbell was thinking of trying to direct ED4 himself (I never saw The Man With The Screaming Brain, so I have no idea if that would be a good thing or not), but I never got a chance to pin him down and ask him about that the last time I saw him.

Anyways, if you've seen Burn Notice (good show, actually) you know this had better pick up a long time after AOD 'cause ol' Bruce is showing his age. I would hope they would choose to follow up from the first ending, which I like better then the crap the studio made them shoot.

[chickenchop1]

Sam Raimi has to set time aside to write the script, as he's likely booked up with other major film projects. Evil Dead 4 hopefully brings back the bloodshed of part 1, and 2, especially now that the MPAA allows a "hard R" rating.
