The Evil Dead remake could eventually be merged with the original movies
This year’s gruesome Evil Dead remake may eventually turn out to just be part of a larger series of movies rather than a reboot. Word is that the 2013 Evil Dead film could eventually be merged into a larger Evil Dead franchise, pulling Ash back into the larger story.
Producer Bruce Campbell and director Fede Alvarez showed up at WonderCon yesterday and showed off some more insane footage from their upcoming horror film Evil Dead, which is going to scare the shit out of people. After they showed off the new footage they talked about the film and the franchise. A fan asked Campbell if we would see the new Evil Dead remake merge with the old Evil Dead. Campbell told Alvarez that he should answer the question, and his answer was something that I think every Evil Dead fan would want to see!
Alvarez said his dream would be to see the two franchises end up combining into one horrific movie blood bath. He revealed that he’d like to make a sequel to the remake he just finished filming while Sam Raimi worked on making Army of Darkness 2, and then after that the two Evil Dead worlds would collide in an epic seventh movie to which Campbell replied with a grin… “I think seven is a nice number.”
