Back in March during a promotional interview for Oz the Great and Powerful, director Sam Raimi stated that he and his brother Ivan Raimi were planning to work on a script for the long-awaited Evil Dead 4 over the summer, before distancing himself from the project just days later. Well, it seems that we might get to see another instalment in the classic horror comedy franchise after all, with Ashley J. Williams himself Bruce Campbell telling the audience at the Wizard World Nashville Comic-Con that he’s set to appear in Army of Darkness 2.
“[Army of Darkness] was twenty-two years ago. I just haven’t been racing to do it. Sam Raimi is just a little bit busy making the biggest movies in Hollywood. I used to be busy. Now I’m not. That’s why I’m here. He then joked, “Ash would have to stop occasionally from chasing some deadite to catch his breath. Maybe we could do that, I guess. That would be exciting. Fight in a walker. That would be alright. Hit them with my cane. Fake them out, have a fake heart attack, distract a zombie. I like it… Alright sir, the answer is yes.”
Are you excited about another Evil Dead outing for Raimi and Campbell? Let us know in the comments below….
