It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything about the planned sequel to last year’s Evil Dead reboot, or indeed Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead 4 – a.k.a. Army of Darkness 2. However, chatting to Shock Till You Drop, director Fede Alvaraz has provided an update, stating that he’s still looking for an idea for Evil Dead 2, as well as providing a brief update on Ash’s proposed fourth outing:
“Sam, Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert and I are good friends and we talk to one another often and we’re always coming up with new ideas and projects. Sam is teasing Army of Darkness 2, which he is working on the script with his brother, but at the same time Evil Dead 2 is something we definitely want to do at some point. But part of the reason I think the last one was successful is because Sam took his time to find the right team of people to do it. We took the time to find the right script and all of that. If you had Evil Dead 2 coming out the following year, it’s just for the market, not because you’ve found the right idea. It takes time to find the right idea and that’s what we’re doing. It’s always in the background and always in our heads. And every time I talk with Sam, we’re bouncing around ideas to find what would be the perfect sequel.”
