Evil Dead Remake Is Really Real, Really!

Little known fact, for you kids out there, the Internet was first invented for trading pornography, talking about Star Trek and spreading Evil Dead 4 rumors, which is why every year we get another "Sam Raimi said..." or "Bruce Campbell let it slip at a convention..." stories we all disregard. Been there, done that.

Two independent outlets (Dread Central and Campbell himself via the miracle of Twitter) say a new Evil Dead film is happening. For real this time. The former stating Sam Raimi's long-time editor Bob Murawski is headed to Detroit to start work on the new film, while the latter reassuring a justifiably doubtful fan of its status, "Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell."

If they're really insistent on getting the property going again, then the remake idea (which Raimi and Campbell were trying to do a couple of years back) with a young and hungry director is the way to go. Remember when an up-and-coming kid named Zack Snyder was assigned the arduous task of remaking Dawn of the Dead? Besides the notion of doing Evil Dead 4 with a visibly-gray and fat Ash, still stocking shelves at S-Mart but acting like he’s the same machismo ass-kicker, is amusing to how many people?
