Original actor and current producer, Bruce Campbell, spoke with Penny Blood Magazine in their latest issue, where he revealed some details on the film. He describes how they don't discuss the project much since producer and original writer/director Sam Raimi is so busy (I.E. Spiderman 3), but from he gathers it'll be with a new group of people that will get affected by the Necronomicon, meaning there wont be an Ash character. He also believes that the goal with this remake is to make good use of today's visual FX and incorporate it into a "scary-ass un-rated horror film."

3.03.05
The man himself Bruce Campbell got to talkin' to a column at comiccon.com called The Beat, where he goes over the remake. Here's what he said: "We're going to do the remake and none of us feel bad about it because it's our own remake. We're not getting some 1970s TV show out of Aaron Spelling's file draw and making a movie. This is our own movie. So we're gonna update it for a new generation with new effects and tell a new story with a new cast. We'll be pulling the strings from behind. And hopefully they'll like it. I don't know when it will come about. It'll take a while to find a director and to write it and get it all set but it's gonna be made".

1.31.05
Producer Rob Tapert spoke again with SciFi about the film and revelead that he and parter Sam Raimi have no one paricularly in mind to helm the film, but do plan to get a cast of relatively unknowns to star in the film. He also went on to say the following: "Because we're not even certain what we're telling, when we get the director that we want aboard we want to craft the best experience under the title and the franchise Evil Dead. It may not necessarily be 'five people go to a cabin,' because that was just done in Cabin Fever. It could be some variation; we have a few tricky ideas up our sleeve that it's probably too early to talk about, but it may be familiar, yet a little different."

He also went on to discuss how the film will have a bigger budget than the original, saying: "We'll certainly refine the edges, but it's not a project that demands that money [be] thrown at it. It is a project that probably excels in ingenuity, so we're certainly not going to be making the $50 million Evil Dead. To attract a director who we think will be fun and cool and the audience will think is fun and cool, we may not be able to say, 'Here's $380,000 and a wheelchair for a dolly.' So somewhere in between those extremes, it's really going to be a function of director and story. They will have all the money they need and the tools to tell the story and entertain the audience in an overall fashion, but it's not something that we said we need to go out and get Ashton Kutcher to star in to get the audience to come and see it."

1.26.05
Producer Rob Tapert spoke with SciFi about how original writer/director Sam Raimi got to the point of wanting to produce a remake and also went on to reveal what fans can expect in the new film, saying: "As long as we [Raimi and him] stay true to what was the original model of the first Evil Dead, which was that we want to hurt and punish the audience, then those who love it will be satisfied. We mean to bring that out to a whole new generation in something that honors all of the people that loved it and yet gives them a new and thrilling ride that they weren't expecting. That's the challenge, and hopefully if we succeed that's kind of the glory."



- The film will supposedly follow a similar theme of a group of people affected by the Necronomicon (possibly in a secluded cabin), but resemblances to the original may stop there.
- There will be no Ash character in this film.
- Sam Raimi wanted to use the cabin that they used in the original film, but couldn't due to the fact that it burnt down many years ago.
- Raimi has said that he would rather not have Bruce in the film, but rather be in the sequel.
- Sam Raimi will not be directing, instead he will be looking for a new director to "reinvent" the film after a script is written.
- Produced by original writer/director Sam Raimi and original producing partners Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell.
- A remake of the classic low-budget 1981 film.

Lets all keep in mind that what shocked and scared us about the original (at least, if you saw the original when it came out, not years after) cannot possibly be duplicated now. Simply, when it first came out, there wasn't much out to compare!! So- for you youngsters, the new one will probably be better. For you fogies like me who watched the original between your fingers in the theater- nothing new will ever re-capture that feeling. The closest anyone has come in recent times for me was 28 Days Later. Love the Hills Have Eyes remake- but as a rule, this wave of remakes lately is bogus. Stick with the 80's remakes of The Blob and The Thing. You kids enjoy the new Evil Dead when it comes out- it will most definitely have better acting and special effects. Anyone who saw the original when it came out-.....yeah...you know whassup.

Being a fan of the original and it's series this remake truly isn't one I want to see anytime soon. To take away the Ash character would be to extract the heart from the franchise. I'm rooting more for the sequel to the original series than this, but this still has a chance to be good if the writing isn't totally bogus and the effects are practical just like in the original.
Just my opinion.

I think they should completely rethink the franchise, no familiar characters. Let's do something unique.
Speaking of unique. Check out The Evil Dead Breakfastclub on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duC9fEpk_98

MOE ARE YOU RETARDED AR JUST IGNORANT. KERR SMITH WOULD MAKE THE S HITYEST ASH IN THE WORLD YOU SHE-B ITCH! AND BESIDES THEY SAY LIKE 3 TIMES IN THE INFO ABOVE THAT THE CHARACTOR OF ASH ISNT RETURNING. ANYWAY I AM GLAD THEY ARE REMAKING THERE FILM. THE ORIGINAL TWO FILMS ARE AWSOME AND TOTALY GROOVEY BUT THEY ARE UNDENIABLY FLAWD. I MEAN THE ACTING IS PRETTY HORRABAL AND THERE ARE SOMANY BLOOPERS THAT THATS PARTLY WHY EVIL DEAD IS SO FAMOUSE. SO I CANT WAIT FOR MY GUYS TO MAKE A REALLY GREAT VERSION OF THERE FILM.

I think Tad Hilgenbrink from Lost Boys: The Tribe or Kerr Smith from My Bloody Valentine 3-D would be a good pick to play Ash.

Your right there! Maybe Raimi should just get a working copy of the original and use his digital effects to spruce it up, then release it side by side with the old one! That would make more sense than remaking the whole film!

The idea of this movie was to be corny and ridiculous..Raimi had no budget for this film, and just took a few friends out to a cabin to make the film...The "remake" doesn't even sound to be a remake...It will probably not have the 5 characters, and Ash is not even being apart of the movie...None of the 3 movies in this franchise need remade, they are fine the way they are, all it sounds that Raimi wants to do is show off what he can make with his computer as far as special effects go

Just watched Within the Woods, the short film that inspired the original Evil Dead and it was killer, although very horribly shot and preserved! If I were these filmmakers, I'd be sure to watch Within the Woods and the original about 10 to 100 times, cause they will NOT screw this up!!!

Just watched this recently and although I LOVE the original I have to say that this one classic remake that sort of needs to be done! I mean the story is awesome but the effects were corny, although they did the best they could it being an independent film but I believe that if this remake is done right, preserving the original story, not neccesarily the same characters, with bigger and better effects then this might be an excellent remake! Fingers crossed!
