Evil Dead Producer Confirms "Army Of Darkness 2"

Evil Dead producer Robert Tapert has weighed in on rumors that Sam Raimi is planning to make a fourth entry in the horror series. Tapert said that the Oz: The Great and Powerful filmmaker is hoping to make a direct sequel to 1992's Army of Darkness, Shock Til You Drop reports. "That would be Army of Darkness 2," said Tapert of Raimi's proposed film. "Everybody calls it Evil Dead 4 but Army of Darkness wasn't called Evil Dead anywhere except by the fans." Evil Dead trilogy star Bruce Campbell said that talk of a new entry in the original series has cropped up on numerous occasions in the past, but did not rule out revisiting his role of Ash Williams. "Sam threatens this every six months," said Campbell. "I've heard this a thousand times, because in the back of his mind, he never wants to let go, because he loved making these movies. "We all loved making them together. They were a nightmare to make, very difficult, but they lasted the test of time, so he's not going to let that go, and I'm never going to say 'no'. It'll be me and a walker fighting some other old guy. But that's what he does and who knows? It may happen." An Evil Dead series remake, directed by Fede Alvarez, arrives in cinemas on April 5.
