EVIL DEAD 4 is Really ARMY OF DARKNESS 2!

Yeah, I've got some more Evil Dead movie news for you! The movie blew up at SXSW recently, most people who have seen it seem to love it, and news for the film franchise is flying all over the place! It was recently revealed that Sam Raimi was going to start work on Evil Dead 4 this summer, which would further the adventures of Bruce Campbell's Ash.

Sam Raimi's producing partner Rob Tapert clarified something, and that is they were never talking about doing an Evil Dead 4 but they were actually doing a direct sequel to Army of Darkness. Now in my opinion Army of Darkness is basically Evil Dead III, it just has a different title. 

When asked by Comingsoon about the project Tapert said, "That would be Army of Darkness 2. Everybody calls it Evil Dead 4 but Army of Darkness wasn't called Evil Dead anywhere except by the fans." When Campbell was asked if he would return as Ash he said,

Sam threatens this every six months. 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.

Army of Darkness was a badass movie, and if we get another movie based in that specific universe it would be amazing! I really hope this movie actually happens!
