Does anyone know about the projected remake of Evil Dead? I just found out about it by chance whilst looking up quotes from Army of Darkness. Here's the relevant link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434020/

I don't know whether to be excited or suspicious. Because, really, there's no point in pretending that Evil Dead II wasn't just a remake.

There's no cast, no details, and it's only really rumored right now to the best of my knowledge. Not much to garner any sort of opinion on.

I didn't know IMDB made entries for rumors, but I guess you're right. I was just wondering if anyone had heard more about this from a reliable source.

*shrug*
All I know is I've been hearing about this and Evil Dead IV for a couple of years now, and no straight details have ever emerged on either. Sam Raimi vaguely hinted at the third sequel, but never confirmed anything and didn't seem to have much to say about a possible remake.

This is all I've heard, really. That second bullet on the remake's segment is enough to make me not care about it anymore, to be honest.

It is, the CD is worth every precious penny.

The stage version was the best twenty dollars I have ever spent in my life. The amount of fake blood was completely ridiculous, and the guy who played Ash was awesome - he looked exactly like Bruce Campbell.

Regarding the production of Evil Dead the Remake the Movie, only one person has gotten the call with an offer to remake it, Park Chan Wook, the director of Sympathy for Mister Vengeance, Old Boy, Lady Vengeance, I'm an Android but that's OK and one of the films in Three Extremes. When I heard about it, I absolutely creamed my pants in joy.

Then I heard he told Sam Raimi to go fuck himself. I guess the man likes to do his own stuff (even though Old Boy was an adaptation, a somewhat unfaithful one at that)

Or maybe he has enough smarts to say "If this goes wrong, I will be hated by more horror movie fans than I can possibly imagine. It's not worth the risk."

That would make sense. I guess that's the same reason they're supposedly not letting anyone play Ash. Because no one but Bruce Campbell could pull it off in a way that would satisfy fans.

If this remake happens, I'll have to skip it.

I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an obi-wan to go.

Depends on the film maker, really. I trust that they won't let some buffoon butcher the film, so as long as they don't hire a proven hack, I'll be good.

(Please hire Michael Bay!)

Michael Bay? Are you kidding? It should be Sam Raimi, Bill Paxton, Wes Craven, or Rob Zombie. If the Coen Brothers wanted a crack at it, that would be ok too.

But really, they shouldn't do this.
