Hail to the king, baby

If you’re  a fan of the EVIL DEAD movies but figured you’d never see another one because Sam Raimi was too busy making SPIDER-MAN sequels, I have some good news for you.

From an interview in EMPIRE magazine, as posted over at Cinematical…

So far, he’s seven pages into a script for Evil Dead 4, with brother Ivan, just as he hoped: “Every time I’m with my brother Ivan, we write another page of it. It’s in Detroit and in my garage.” Raimi continued: “There’s some dialogue. Ash being an idiot. Ash taking some abuse. Some character stuff and then some structure of Act Two. Just other possibilities for things that could happen. It’s ideas, jokes, things we’d like to see.”

Ash, of course, will be played by the great Bruce Campbell. No word on a release date — or even a production date — but let’s hope it’s worth the wait. Those EVIL DEAD movies — especially the second, EVIL DEAD 2: DEAD BY DAWN — are a heck of a lot of fun.
