Campbell Touches Upon the "Evil Dead" Remake

CS.net pointed us towards an excerpt from a Penny Blood Magazine interview with Bruce Campbell, and it seems the almighty chin had a little something to say about the (eventually) upcoming remake of "The Evil Dead."

"In a recent interview, Bruce Campbell gave Penny Blood the lowdown on the future of the Evil Dead franchise. He says, “We don’t really talk about [another] sequel too much ’cause Sam (Raimi) is too busy right now. It would all be kinda moot. But I think we’re gonna do a remake. It’ll be a whole new story, though. It won’t be with Ash. It’ll be the evil book, and it’ll affect a whole new group of people in a different situation. More like a reinvention. A lot of people, they got really crabby on the Internet when they first heard that type of stuff. But, we would never do anything to insult them. The trick is to take that premise – and we think it’s a scary premise – and use some cool modern day FX… so we won’t have green garden hoses in the shots. We wanna make a flat out, scary-ass, un-rated horror film.”"
