Start Your Fanboy/girl Engines Running
Like many of you, we've been closely following the story about the likely remake of The Evil Dead, the Raimi/Tapert masterpiece that's easily in the greenideas top 10 films of ever (apologies to The Catbirdseat). However, we've refrained from writing about it here, since we haven't yet figured out whether to be excited or mortified at the prospect of some non-Raimi person mucking with such an unqualified classic of the genre.
While the jury's still out on the remake, which will purportedly cover the first two Evil Dead films, and has Chan Wook Park on board to direct, there's a new piece of news about which we can't help but be completely giddy. Are you ready? Are you sure? Okay: in comments made to Bloody Disgusting, Sam Raimi has said, in no uncertain terms, that he will make Evil Dead 4. Sam will direct it, he and brother Ted Raimi will write it, and the one and only Bruce Campbell will reprise his role as the chainsaw-armed, quip-mongering human chin, Ash.
We're getting a little emotional here. Seriously, we're having some pretty kooky feelings.
Also, on an only slightly related note, we want to send some very fond birthday wishes to George Romero, who turns 65 today. Happy birthday, George! We can't wait for Land of the Dead.
