Bruce Campbell says an animated 'Evil Dead' project is actively being pursued.
There are so many exciting horror franchises returning in 2023. This includes Evil Dead in the appropriately titled Evil Dead Rise. The film releases in theaters this April and will be another reinvention of the franchise. The one thing Rise won’t have is Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams, as the actor has retired from the role given how physically demanding it became.
In an exclusive interview with Bloody Disgusting promoting Rise’s release, Campbell revealed, “All I can say is we’re actively pursuing it.” He would continue on discussing the franchise’s original director, Sam Raimi, and his role in the potential project: “Sam’s a busy guy. He had a big hit movie, so he’s got a lot on his plate, but he and his brother are actively shaping out the world.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The Legacy of Evil Dead The Evil Dead was a 1981 campy horror nightmare with the simple premise of a group of ill-fated teens on a getaway at a seemingly harmless cabin in the woods. That’s where the Deadites and the modern Necronomicon were born. While unoriginal in its plot set up, Raimi’s unhinged direction and creative wit is what stole the show.
Evil Dead’s one of the rare horror franchises without a bad entry. Every installment of Evil Dead has at least been very good. Campbell and his counterpart Ash are such horror icons at this point that it only makes sense that the creative team behind the series would want to explore the character in other mediums. The Necronomicon offers endless undead potential, so hopefully this animated project can move forward.
When does Evil Dead Rise Release? Evil Dead Rise releases in theaters April 21, 2023, where Campbell will return with Raimi as producers on the project. The film, directed by Lee Cronin, will follow a young family who get terrorized by the Necronomicon in a Los Angeles high rise apartment building. While horror fans wait for Campbell’s potential animated return, you can view the trailer for Evil Dead Rise down below.
