Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi want to release Evil Dead films more regularly

“We will do one, probably every two or three years now, rather than every 10 years.”

This is a very ambitious announcement. Bruce Campbellalias Ash, hero known worldwide for his amputation cauterized by a portable saw, announced that the saga evil Dead would continue, still under the leadership of its original progenitor, Sam Raimi.

Remember Ash Williams, this character “horrific-epic”, performed by Bruce. The disappearance of his right limb gave him a charisma worthy of a video game character. Nostalgic for his chainsaw arm, Bruce Campbell returned to the forefront of the bloody scene in 2015, in a serial project (Ash vs. evil Dead) totally crazy where the hemoglobin flowed abundantly.

Recently, the actor said he was enthusiastic about the success of the latest opus released last April, – Evil Dead Rise, which successfully relaunched the franchise, achieving its biggest success (140 million dollars at the box office). Note that over the course of the 80s, the actor established himself as producer of the horror saga, which allowed him to establish a close relationship with Sam Raimi And Robert Tapert (also producers).

Robert Taylor Collider was able to speak with Bruce Campbell, which confirmed the desire to create a new saga, without long intervals between opuses. That said, the actor made a point of emphasizing that there was a healthy balance to be struck between pleasing fans and wearing out their welcome by overwhelming them with too many sequels, as has happened to other franchises.

“We’re going to make films, probably every two or three years now, rather than every 10 years. We saw what happened with Star Wars – we don’t want to tire the public. Let’s leave a little suspense! We have always had an excellent welcome from the fans, we must not hold the knife to their throats“, explains the actor.

Will director Lee Cronin, who directed the last Evil Dead, be back behind the camera for the next one? “He did a great job, to the point that it’s going to be difficult to use him again, everyone wants him now“, explains Bruce Campbell.
