Evil Dead 4???

[Leprechaun]

Sam raimi is a douchebag POS.

What did he do to you?

Raimi gives some clarification on his comments:

Last week we once again heard rumblings on a possible return to the original cabin in the woods with Sam Raimi talking up EVIL DEAD 4 at a press round in London while promoting his upcoming OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL in which he said...

I would love to make Evil Dead 4. My brother and I plan to work on the script this summer.

Now Raimi has clarified his earlier statements in an interview with Bleeding Cool, and while it isn't exactly the news we were all hoping for, it isn't all bad, either.

Those guys made me say that. I am thinking about it but a crowd goes “Come on Sam, do it!” so I said “Okay, I guess I was talking to my brother about it.” But I feel like I was pushed into saying that, a little bit. In the hallway today I joked with Ivan [his brother] “Get working on that script!” but I really don’t know. I’m afraid that every time I talk about it people get really mad at me when I don’t follow through with it. I would like to work on the script over the summer, that much is true. But the reason to come back and do it again is only that they’re making me, those fans.
I was saying to Ivan “Why do they stay on this thing? Why do they keep at it?” and he said “They want to make a movie. You’re a filmmaker and your fans are asking you to make the movie. What are you, an idiot? Make the movie!” I guess there’s something I don’t see. It makes sense when Ivan says it… but I didn’t have a tremendous amount of passion until right now to bring to it.
I love working with Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert, I have so much fun making those movies, so… but the fans are really forcing me into it.
While it isn't a confirmation that EVIL DEAD 4 will most definitely happen, it's a small glimmer of hope that Raimi and company will be reuniting to bring us more Deadite fun in the future. Let's hope so.

In the meantime we still have the Fede Alvarez-directed remake of EVIL DEAD hitting theaters April 5.

I knew it was too good to be true...oh well. I'd rather have him do the film with passion when he feels it instead of half-assing it right now.

[Macready]

Seems as though his brother wants him to move forward with it. I still say it would feel a bit odd with two Evil Dead franchises out there.

[Chief Falling Rock]

would be kinda weird wouldn't it? Remake and sequal to original both being out there

[DMHead777]

Well, maybe if the fans make him do it, he won't load it up with CGI.

[FrighT MasteR]

His clarification doesn't surprise me considering the first quote was so short. Seemed like there'd be more to it. Plus as some have said, it seemed too good to be true. At the moment it just seems like Raimi feels a bit pressured to pursue a sequel, but hopefully if he actually starts working together with his bro that he'll start feeling it again and take it on seriously and of his own accord

[DMHead777]

If the new one does well, then he has a lot of competition

I don't think so. They are two completely different types of movies at this point. Raimi's Evil Dead has gone the campy "fun" route. The reboot seems to be a balls to the wall, hardcore horror flick. Same franchise two COMPLETELY different ways of presenting it.

[FrighT MasteR]

I think if anything it would benefit both franchises if they were released not too long after the other

[DMHead777]

I was mainly talking about how it's presented visually. Should have been more clear. Getting Bruce Campbell and using practical effects would be a must. Seeing how the remake looks that it will be using practical effects as well.

[Macready]

Agreed. Raimi has his own visual style. Both him and Tim Burton make flicks where you know it's their movie just on how it looks.

If you watch a movie and THINK it's Tim Burton but aren't sure, look for Depp. If he is there then it's definitely a Tim Burton movie

Eil Dead movies do nuthin for me....remake 'em all I say.

[Leprechaun]

Given that they remade the original, why bother now going .back to the previous franchise and making a fourth. The studio will say no thanks. We'll take that relevant sequel to the remake

[TonyVato]

Shit, I barely saw Evil Dead 2 for the 1st time last night.

E D 3 makes me laugh.

E D 3 makes me laugh.

It should, since it's a fucking comedy anyway.
