The Evil Dead remake confirmed

Rumours that Sam Raimi's cult horror film The Evil Dead is due a "quasi-remake" have been confirmed. Horror movie site Bloody Disgusting has reported that the fourth instalment will not be a continuation of the third film Army of Darkness , released in 1992, but rather a remake of Raimi's original . Federico Alvarez, who made his name with his low budget sci-fi short Panic Attack , is set to direct. Work on the film is said to have begun in Detroit, with long-term Raimi collaborater Bob Murawski commenting that it will be "a small indie thing, like the first two". Bruce Campbell, who played demon-hunter Ashley "Ash" Williams in the trilogy, is not expected to appear. Some fan sites have suggested that Ash may become a female character in Alvarez's version . Campbell, talking about the remake on Twitter, said: "Believe in the remake dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell."
