Sam Raimi talks Evil Dead Remake

Posted by: Michael

Sam Raimi is always talking about the Evil Dead remake. One minute he is telling us that the movie is not happening and at other times he tells us it is. Its almost as if he is conflicted on its status. Now from IGN UK comes an update that apparently its still in the works.. the remake that is;

"I have talked with my partners about having a young director come in and remake Evil Dead," says Raimi. "That film was made in 16mm on a shoestring budget and blown up to 35mm. The visual effects are crumby, it was done in mono, not even stereo, let alone 5.1. What you could do with it now would be so much better. I think if you had a new director using the full power of 35mm and 5.1 sound, you could really make a pretty socko presentation. It was always meant for the big screen, but never really seen on the big screen"

He also told them that their is still some discussion for Evil Dead 4 and he would like if Bruce Campbell would reprise his role. Frankly I am much more interested in an Evil Dead 4 then a remake of the original mainly for the Bruce Campbell factor.
