EVIL DEAD!!!
Raimi Readies "Dead" Remake

Thu Nov 18, 5:20 PM ET Movies - E! Online


By Josh Grossberg

Sam Raimi is resurrecting the Dead.

The Spider-Man helmer, who shot to fame scaring the bejesus out of moviegoers as the writer, director and producer of the 1981 cult horror classic The Evil Dead, has unveiled plans for a remake, Daily Variety reports.


Raimi will develop the new Dead installment through his Ghost House Pictures with an assist from the production company Senator International and the film's original producing partners, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell (news).


Campbell also played Ash, the beleaguered, badass hero chased by dark zombie forces in The Evil Dead and its sequels: 1987's equally gory Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn and 1992's Army of Darkness, which jettisoned the series' more stomach-churning chills in favor of slapstick.


The Evil Dead follows five friends who wind up at a cabin in the woods, where they find an archaeologist's taped translation of an ancient text known as the Necronomicon. When spoken aloud, the book unleashes an unspeakable evil from the forest that terrorizes the teens and turns them into flesh-eating demons. It's up to Ash to keep the dead dead.


The over-the-top violence, masterful camera work, and buckets of blood earned the low-budget feature a massive underground following and launched Raimi's career.


Because he's busy prepping Spider-Man 3, Raimi doesn't have plans to direct the new version.


"The Evil Dead is such a special film to Sam, Rob, Bruce and horror fans that we are going to take great care in renewing this franchise," Joe Drake, president of Senator International, told Variety. "By keeping its original formula intact and given audiences' appetite for horror, we expect that we'll have a real hit on our hands."


As part of the deal, Senator will put up the financing in exchange for worldwide rights to the picture and its executive producer, Nathan Kahane, will supervise production for the company. No word on whether Campbell will have a role in the update.


Meanwhile, Senator and Ghost House have also green-lighted a follow-up to The Grudge, now that the Sarah Michelle Gellar (news)-starring horror flick has just crossed the $100 million mark in domestic box office after 27 days in release.

C'mon, you get any unknown with a penchant for hamming it up and it will be a viable substitute.


BTW - I like Briscoe County Jr better than the Dead series. Campbell is the King of Camp, but it is still just camp.

True, but he was comparing DiCaprio to Harrison Ford in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I've never seen Briscoe, but heard some good things about it.....

I guess I just see this differently than all of you. Go figure, eh?

It wasn't Campbell. Raimi could make another Campbell in a heartbeat. It wasn't the storyline. Held by itself it was crap. It was the director. Someone mentioned earlier that a substitute director would work because they could copy Raimi's style - no way, IMO.

The Psycho remake was shot angle for angle and line for line from the original Hitchcock - it was horrible. It was like watching that last fat third grade kid picked on a basketball team playing one on one against Larry Bird - there was no comparison.

It is all about directing and unless someone as inventive as Raimi does the second, it won't be good even if Campbell has the starring role.

Boy that's no lie, that Psycho remake wasn't even suitable landfill material. I agree with you on the direction, but Campbell was a big part of the feel for the original movie. It'll certainly be different seeing someone else play the role.

Did you see the Chainsaw remake? If so, what did you think of that?

I liked it. I am not a horror buff, but the film was adequate for what they were trying to achieve.

If you haven't, check out Rob Zombie's House of 1,000 Corpses. It captures that 70s horror/slash genre perfectly while adding enough madness from today to make it surreal as hell. Again, I am not a horror fan by any stretch, but it was my favorite horror film over the last decade.

No doubt.

But there are things I think you just don't bother redoing.

You don't cover Stairway to heaven, you don't remake Vertigo or Citizen Kane, and you don't abandon what made these what they were.

Campbell is great at what he does, lowbrow humor. You don't ask him to remake An Officer and a Gentleman, and you don't ask someone else to play ash. Ash is Ash.

I hated the Time Machine remake and hated the DOTD remake because they abandoned the whole point of the originals.

It's all disposable pop culture bullshit, IMO. Just fun stuff.

That's one of the things I love about CP. There is a 100% chance that anything ever discussed by human beings either in person or in the news has had a thread started about it. It might have been 16 years ago, or 16 hours ago....but there has been a thread started about it.

I don't even use google anymore to learn about stuff. I just read about it on CP.
