While attending the San Diego Comic-Con 2008 event, director Sam Raimi has told Mania that he's definitely for an Evil Dead 4 in his near future. We know that there's an Evil Dead remake on the horizon but Raimi mentions a further installment into his horror franchise starring Bruce Campbell. Apparently, the hold up on the sequel is waiting for his co-writer and brother Ivan Raimi to get a free schedule.

When asked about delving back into the Evil Dead franchise, here's what he told Mania.

"Part 4 is definitely in my wheelhouse."

He went on to say about waiting for his brother before scripting part 4 out.

Awesome! It's about time Raimi gets back to directing some good films! Can't wait to hear more news!!!!

GROOVY!!!

I SOOOOOOOOOOOO want to believe this is true, cuz I loved Army of Darkness, which is pretty obvious, but I of course know that this is just fan service! There is no way he would be pushing for a part four and a remake at the same time. And after the remake is made it would make a part four pointless. Any hope of a part 4 died with the announcement of a remake. I'm still p!$$ed the remake will not have the character of Ash! Without Ash whats the F***ing point?

Note to Sam Raimi:

Screw the remake and give us more ASH.

Sincerely yours,

DH

Sam's always maintain there will be a fourth instalment in the franchise (that's the reason there will be no Ash in the remake, Sam's got plans for the Ash character)but keeps getting side tracked with other projects, I hope he finally makes this his priority cause I've been waiting 15 years for for this movie to be made and I finally want to see this thing get done.

BRING THAT SHIT RAMI BRING IT!!! He owes me after Spider-Man 3.

Even if Raimi wants to do a fourth one, there is no guarantee that Bruce Campbell will come back for it. I love the series as a cult classic, but this is an old tune that keeps getting played every so often.

Also have you seen Campbell lately? He's not in the best of shape when I see those commercials for "Burn Notice", is he comitted to getting into some shape for this film?

Flint521466 • Jul 27, 2008, 12:46pm •

Bruce Cammbell can show up in whatever fuckin' shape he wants to. He's BRUCE FUCKING CAMPBELL!!!!!!!!

I share your enthusiasm Flint.

I had never seen Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. So over the last month I DVR'd all three films and did a 5-6 hr marathon and watched the whole trilogy. It was awesome.

As much as I loved Army of Darkness I think the earlier films were better. So here's hoping for a return to the cabin as opposed to the past.
