Raimi & Campbell Remaking The Evil Dead
Source: Variety

"Spider-Man" franchise director Sam Raimi and original producing partners Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell are reteaming to produce a remake of the cult hit "The Evil Dead" through Ghost House Pictures and Senator International, reports Variety.

Raimi wrote, directed and produced the 1981 film, which tells the tale of a group of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, where they find an unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. One by one, the teens become deadly zombies. With only Ash (Campbell) remaining, it is up to him to survive the night and battle The Evil Dead.

Raimi will not direct the remake, so Ghost House is looking for a helmer to reinvent the franchise before a script is written.

Sam not directing?! Will Bruce not star?! That would.. pretty much suck.

Um. No. Completely not allowed. Will not watch. Fuck. That. Shit.

Evil Dead 2 *WAS* a remake of The Evil Dead, with a bigger (yet still incredibly low) budget and a better script. Why re-fix something that was fixed well the first time?

Merrgh. I'm not looking forward to this.

Campbell and Raimi are remaining involved in the project, so I have my hopes that it'll be a case of them doing the movie they wished they could have made rather than crap as bad as Lucas' rehashes of the first SW trilogy.
