Bruce Campbell Says Another Movie is Possible if “Ash vs. Evil Dead” Gets Cancelled
After years of teasing Evil Dead 4, a film that pretty much every horror fan had been begging for, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell ended up taking Ash to the small screen instead for Starz’s “Ash vs. Evil Dead,“ which just kicked off its third season this past Sunday night. The season’s performance will determine if its renewed for a fourth.
Of course, we’re hoping that “Ash vs. Evil Dead” continues for many years to come, but what happens if Starz cancels it? Is that the end of the original franchise altogether?
Speaking with EW, Bruce Campbell says another movie is still on the table.
“We won’t know [if we’ve been renewed] till the middle of March. We’re in the horrible television limbo right now,” Campbell told the site. “If they take us off the air, we can think about another movie. And if they don’t, we can just keep plugging away.”
How about an Ash/Mia, original/remake mash-up film?!
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
