More talk on Evil Dead 4 or should I say 'Army Of Darkness 2', In a recent chat with Bleeding Cool.com Sam Raimi was asked for an update on the long talked about sequel..
"I would love to make Evil Dead 4. My brother (Ivan?) and I plan to work on the script this summer."
Then Ghost House Pictures producing partner Rob Tapert set out to clarified earlier reports on the EVIL DEAD 4 rumors -
"That would be Army of Darkness 2. Everybody calls it Evil Dead 4 but Army of Darkness wasn't called Evil Dead anywhere except by the fans."
Now Ash himself (Bruce Campbell) has added his 2 cents: Empire caught up with the actor and it sounds like the film is very much on his radar..
"Evil Dead IV, Army Of Darkness 2... however you want to slice it. It’s random ideas in Sam’s head. Let’s not go crazy here. He’s just finished doing Oz, and he’s going to take some time off and he says he’s going to work on it this summer with his brother. He could be smoking cigars at a lakeside cabin for all I know, or he might actually be working, who knows?"
For the ones who didn't know, there's actually two different endings to ARMY OF DARKNESS — the one most people are familiar with is when Ash returns to his own time and fights off one last Demon/Deadite in the S-Mart where he works; and the other is the Director's Cut - Ash wakes up in a post-apocalyptic London. So which of these endings would inspire the next flick?
"I would think the post-Apocalyptic because it gives great possibilities for an Omega Man movie, and who he might be fighting against. It would be a very interesting world. But I’m fine either way. I’m sure Sam will concoct some ridiculous story and an outrageous journey, so I don’t really care where it starts and ends. The fun thing is working again with Sam Raimi. That’s the only reason to do these incredibly difficult movies than work for a guy who you really like working with and who you respect."
I would like nothing better for this movie to happen, but the fact is Sam, Bruce and the rest of gang are masters at getting every ones hops up.. Don't hold you breath!
