Bruce Campbell & Sam Raimi Return For Ash Vs. Evil Dead At Starz

[Johnny Latino Heat]

Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell will both return to their cult favorite horror series Evil Deadfor a new series on Starz.

The series, titled Ash vs. Evil Dead, will see Campbell reprise his role as Ash amidst a new Deadite invasion.

The series will consist of 10 half-hour episodes, debuting in 2015. Raimi will direct the pilot, which will be co-written by himself, Ivan Raimi, and Tom Spezialy.

"Starz first worked with Sam and Rob on Spartacus, and we are thrilled to be back in business with them,” said Carmi Zlotnik, managing director of Starz. “With Sam writing and directing and Bruce Campbell returning to the screen, we are certain the show will give Evil Dead fans around the world the fix they’ve been craving.”

“Evil Dead has always been a blast. Bruce, Rob, and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the next chapter in Ash’s lame, but heroic saga. With his chainsaw arm and his ‘boomstick,’ Ash is back to kick some monster butt. And brother, this time there’s a truckload of it,” said Raimi.

"I'm really excited to bring this series to the Evil Dead fans worldwide -- it's going to be everything they have been clamoring for: serious deadite ass-kicking and plenty of outrageous humor,” said Campbell.

Army of Darkness is one of my favorite movies to quote.

The first trailer is up, and it looks freakin' amazing!

 

 

EDIT: And I have absolutely no idea how to embed the video here, so the youtube link will have to do.

It should embed just by posting the link now.

It does. Unless it's a Donators only privelidge, which I doubt, is it /profile/764-kliq/">@kliq ?

[Johnny Latino Heat]

I tried to edit my post again, but it didn't embed just by posting the link :\

 

 

EDIT: Still doesn't :\ Maybe the board just doesn't like me?

I'm relatively certain it's a donator perk. 

But on the topic of Ash vs. Evil Dead, looks groovy. Definitely going to be watching that.

[Monkey D. Lars]

Can't freaking wait! Will have to watch the movies AGAIN before hand hooray!   GROOVY!

[Maxx]

That looks fantastic, I just hate the Halloween premier date.  Shows like these should be running through the Halloween season and wrapping up shortly there after, not wrapping up around Christmas.

[Meacon Keaton]

I'm so excited for this. I've become quite unaware of things that are in pre-production nowadays, so I had no idea this was even coming until I saw the trailer last night. I can't wait.

[LUKIE]

LOOKS AMAZING!

Uh, fuck yeah. Just read my initial post in this thread for my thoughts on Evil Dead. FUCK YEAH. EVIL FUCKING DEAD.

It's like, they re-boot Mad Max and Evil Dead and do a fucking good job? I dig man.

Well its not really a ED reboot.  Just continuing the series

[VerbalPuke]

You know what I mean. You damn well know what I mean Mr. Pedantic. Dick.

Just kidding. This is all good shit.

[Lint]

Well there WAS a ED reboot.  IT was...ok.  Though Raimi has said he's thought about ways to bring reboot ED and classic ED "together"

I thoroughly enjoyed Evil Dead 2013 and the only thing that could possibly get me more jazzed about this show would be the addition of Jane Levy. 

You really can't go wrong with Bruce Campbell and Xena though. I'm confident this will become my new favorite show now that Hannibal is gone.

1. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?

The reboot could just simply be an alternate universe, like Army of Darkness. Jane Levy's character could read the Necronomicon and end up in Ash's world.
