FIle this one under the “good news of the day” category. It seems like all those Evil Dead remake rumours floating around (some of which it should be mentioned were floated by Sam Raimi himself), seem to be just that… just rumours. And why do I consider that good news? Because of the other rumours that Ashton Kutcher was supposed to play Ash. Thanks goodness this isn’t true.
So why do I think the Evil Dead remake is… well… dead? Because of Sam’s brother Ted Raimi. The good folks over at M&C give us this:
According to Dark Horizons, cult-hero Ted Raimi, brother of Sam Raimi, was recently asked about the proposed remake. His response was something of a shocker, “Yes, I have this to say about it: there won’t be one as far as I know. That’s all I know. I mean there might be, there might be one but as far as I can tell there isn’t. Nothing’s going on with it at the moment”
Now granted, this is Ted and not Sam shooting the Evil Dead remake down… but it’s still good news! I hope this thing stays dead… unless they decide to get Bruce Cambbell back. That would rule. All hail the king baby!
