It's official! Bruce Campbell confirmed at Wizard World Nashville Comic Con that the tales of a fourth original Evil Dead film are true and that he would in fact be returning to play Ash. Campbell was asked by a fan if he would be making the sequel and he had this to stay:
“The last one was twenty-two years ago. I just haven’t been racing to do it. Sam Raimi is just a little bit busy making the biggest movies in Hollywood. I used to be busy. Now I’m not. That’s why I’m here."
In typical Campbell fashion, he continued:
“Ash would have to stop occasionally from chasing some Deadite to catch his breath. Maybe we could do that, I guess. That would be exciting. Fight in a walker.......that would be alright. Hit them with my cane. Fake them out, have a fake heart attack, distract a zombie. I like it.”
Then finished with:
"Alright Sir, the answer is yes."
Raimi has already started writing the script and according to IMDb, we should expect to see the new film sometime in 2016.
Groovy.
