Bruce Campbell Has Read ‘The Evil Dead’ Remake Script (Duh)
Horror icon Bruce Campbell took to Reddit to answer fan questions, which knowingly headed in the direction of The Evil Dead franchise, which Campbell starred in as the infamous “Ash”.
With the remake in development since 2004 (yikes!), Campbell told fans that he has actually read the script (who knows what draft, and by what writer) and loved it: “We are remaking ‘Evil Dead.’ The script is awesome. I will be one of the producers and possibly play the milk man.”
The “milk man” casting is obviously a joke, but this does imply that he (unsurprisingly) won’t return as Ashley J. Williams.
“In all honesty, we would all love to make another ‘Evil Dead’ movie,” he continues. “When that will happen? Who can say – we’re all working on other jobs right now. We’re not trying to dodge anybody’s questions, there just isn’t that much to talk about. The remake’s gonna kick ass–you have my word.”
There’s really nothing new here other than the fact that Campbell is acknowledging some “script” that he personally is happy with. I’m just hoping that the longer this is delayed, the more they realize they need to make The Evil Dead 4 instead of an idiotic redo.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
