Pretty Packaging: An Uncensored EVIL DEAD Has Finally Arrived In Germany

Buyer beware - this new German bd uses heavy noise reduction which has obliterated fine detail and caused smearing of the image. Much better off sticking with the existing US or UK blu-ray discs.

Bruce Campbell Reveals New ‘Evil Dead’ Film’s Title, Director | Variety

"“Evil Dead” star Bruce Campbell has revealed some details about the franchise’s next installment.

“It’s called ‘Evil Dead Now,'” Campbell said in an interview with Empire.

The star played Ash Williams in Sam Raimi’s original horror trilogy of “The Evil Dead,” “Evil Dead 2” and “Army of Darkness.” Campbell didn’t appear in the 2013 soft reboot called “Evil Dead,” but served as a producer. He said he won’t be in the upcoming movie either, and it will feature a female protagonist, like the 2013 film.

“From this point forward, they kind of have to stand on their own. Which is fine. And liberating,” Campbell said. “We just want to keep the series current. And the mantra, really, is that our heroes and heroines are just regular people. That’s what we’re going to continue.”

Cambell revealed that franchise creator Raimi handpicked indie director Lee Cronin to helm “Evil Dead Now.”

“[Cronin] did a cool movie called ‘The Hole in the Ground.’ We’re going to get that sucker out as soon as it’s practical,” Cambell said.

Cronin had been directing horror shorts before breaking out with his feature-length debut “The Hole in the Ground” in 2019. The film went on to gross $3.4 million after debuting at the Sundance Film Festival and continues to find audiences on streaming and video-on-demand platforms.

Both Campbell and Raimi made their careers with the original “Evil Dead” trilogy, which spanned from cabin-in-the-woods terror to slapstick comedy to medieval swashbuckling. Rumblings of another film in the series have simmered since Fede Alvarez’s grim 2013 remake of the original film was released and the spin-off Showtime series “Ash vs. Evil Dead,” which brought Campbell back to the role of the chainsaw-handed monster hunter Ash Williams after 23 years, concluded a three-season run in 2018."

I'll miss Bruce Campbell, but it is a universe big enough to include new characters. Well, they already attempted a seminal reboot in 2013.

Will a new Evil Dead be dark serious and violent as the 2013 version or have more of an Ash V Evil Dead TV show comedy vibe. I would be all for a dark sinister film but as long as its done properly im good.
