Bruce Campbell Says We’ll Likely Never See Ash Again if “Ash vs. Evil Dead” Cancelled
Recently, Bruce Campbell was asked about the future of the Evil Dead franchise *if* “Ash vs. Evil Dead” was to be cancelled by Starz, which is sadly in real danger of actually happening. Campbell, at that time, had commented that a fourth installment in the film franchise was possible in that event… but don’t be getting your hopes up.
“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 EW last month. “If they take us off the air, we can think about another movie. And if they don’t, we can just keep plugging away.”
But at the “Evening With Bruce Campbell” event at the Irish Film Institute this past Thursday, Campbell expressed serious doubts about a fourth movie actually happening.
“If they cancel it, I think Ash is done,” Campbell told the crowd. He continued, “I have lavender on my property. I’m going to smoke weed and hang out.”
Of course, literally anything is possible, so we’ll just have to see how things shake out. In the meantime, SUPPORT “ASH VS. EVIL DEAD” SO IT STICKS AROUND.
The indominable Bruce Campbell, @GroovyBruce , explains that Ash vs the Evil Dead will be the end of Ashley Williams’ adventure. Sad but he sounds like a man with a plan.#dublin #ifi #brucecampbell#evildead #ashvsevildead #ash #hailtothechin #hailtothechinbooktour pic.twitter.com/rbWVRhKBPq

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
