Whoah! Given the sequel and remake frenzy that's been taking over Hollywood in the last few months-- OK, years-- it's amazing this bit of news from Sam Raimi hasn't shown up anywhere before now. At Comic Con today Raimi announced that Evil Dead 4 is "in the wheelhouse. He even went so far as to say that he and his brother Ivan would be getting together this next week to work on it-- that is, assuming Raimi can get past the hordes of excited fans.
Raimi has talked a lot about doing a Spider-Man 4 constantly since Spider-Man 3 made so much money, and I think everyone would have expected that it would be the next sequel on Raimi's plate. He's got a lot going on right now, directing Drag Me to Hell and scheduled to adapt a Dennis Lehane novel as well as revive the Jack Ryan series of movies. So Evil Dead 4 may be a long way off, but that's one heck of a carrot to dangle in front of fans who have gotten bored watching Raimi follow Spiderman all over the skies.
Hopefully we'll hear more details about this one the Comic Con madness had died down, and our trusty correspondents may have more info as well. Keep checking back, and get ready for those zombies!

"Bruce Campbell and Shia Labeouf make an unlikely duo in this quirky comedy/sequel. Get an Ash action figure in every box of Lucky Charms! Rated PG-13"
That's not a real quote, just a warning of what could come.
i hate Shia "The Beef" Lebeouf... he is such the go-to guy for younger roles, but theres other actors out there.
I mean do we need a bunch of twenty-somethings? How old was Bruce when he played Ash the first time? Im tired of whiny, too-pretty, young kids in all my movies. Give me Bruce, and give him now.
You know who would be a great replacement for Ash, if Ash had to pass on the torch of deadite killing? Ryan Gosling. He is ridiculously talented and I can see him in the crazy "Ash" mode, on the verge of being cackling mad, campy as hell and ready to kick ass.
As the manager of S-Mart chain of stores. I can tell you that no noob is going to be able to survive one round with the horde of zombies and demons like me. Yeah. you think I am too old, well guess again neophyte!

Does anyone else want to see an older, bearded, slightly crazy Ash come back to help some young stand-in battle the deadites?
