All the Billion Other Moments

There seems to be a lot of talk about a remake of Sam Rami’s 1981 Horror flick, The Evil Dead.

For those of you who know what I’m talking about, I’ll let that sink in. For the rest of you… shame on you! See these films and then come back (unless you’re squeemish, then just don’t bother).

It seems that Rami will not direct, and there is no word if Bruce will be involved. While I can’t imagine him playing Ash in the remake, I can’t see much point to an Evil Dead film with someone else playing the role.

In an interview last month Rami said that the rumored Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash was not going to happen. He also said “maybe someday” about a possible Evil Dead 4, which is only slightly more positive than past statements.

I’m sure that a remake would look a lot more interesting today than a low budget film from 1981. I guess I’ll wait and see what happens, but I’m not convinced it’s a great idea.� If this thing can make some money that can be put towards making a fourth Evil Dead film with Bruce and Sam, that’s great.� If not?� Eh.
