Hey man, if the magic of hollywood can make anthony hopkins look presentable as your typical aging man in his late fifties. They can do anything. HAve you ever seen that cat without his makeup? looks like an escavated mummy. No disrespect, he still kicks ass.
I wouldnt worry about the appearance thing, i would just worry about campbell's willingness to be as physical as he was in the dead movies. I mean that was a small aspect of the movie, but still very appealing.
Originally posted by Evil Deadi would rather never have a ash in this movie lol. the evil dead movies were just so stupid... but army of darkness was entertaining still not awsome but entertaining non the less.
you're right.......a 46 year old Ash isn't too bad.......but a 54 or 55 year old Ash? I'd rather just not have another ED movie.
Originally posted by SlipknoTwell to me it was the stupidest thing i have ever seen, i dont really remember much from the first but i watched the second not even a week ago and that is not as much scary as it is plain stupid. sure it might have been good then but all the actors sucked i could have sworn that the girl was laughing and not crying, and it had like no entertainment for me. but just my opinion. army of darkness was better, well action other wise it was as bad as the others.
The Evil Dead series is one of if the best horror series ever
Jesus Christ on a stick...........The Evil Dead series is stupid.......compared to the likes of Friday the 13th? My gawd.
Evil Dead is fanfuckingtastic ...........Evil Dead 2 is alright.........Army of Darkness is enjoyable, but they should have made it a horror flick. My only real gripe about the movie is the fact that I'd hate to see something that started out as great horror like The Evil Dead go out as a slapstick comedy like Army of Darkness.
yeah i just dont think major understands what makes Evil Dead a Staple for the horror Genre. regaurdless of army of darkness being a slaptsick style movie. I appreciated it for going totally in a different direction. I guess it diddnt really go in a different direction,rather than just dropping the horror traits and exaggerating even more on the story and characters. I too would have liked to see more of a horror driven story, but then again there was no other way that army of darkness could have been pulled off successfully, atleast not the story raimi chose to go with. Going back to the middle ages made it really hard to do a horror flick with the humor appeal (or a sarcastic comedy wanting to be horrorfying)

Agreed. They're all great but Army of Darkness should've been a horror. That and I can't get over that robot hand. He should've kept the chainsaw.
Does anyone know how reliable a source this is? It says here that Raimi doesn't want Ash in FvJ2. Then again, he also said before that he didn't want to do ED4 so he might just be messing with us so we're all surprised when Ash does appear in FvJ2 (I hope at least).
The Evil Dead series rules!!!
I heard that the thing about Sam not wanting Ash in FvJ 2 was just a lie and that he was interested in seeing the script.
I heard on bloody disgusting that someone has read the treatment and said it's awsome. It's meant to start off explaining about all three characters this time. It's meant to be set around christmas.
Yep Ash isn't going to be in it:
"I have great respect for those franchises," Raimi said. "I didn't want to be in a position where I was protecting Ash, the character that I want to eventually make another movie with one day, protecting him and not allowing the director to do what he felt he had to do. I didn't want to be in a weird position like that. I have a great deal or respect for Sean Cunningham. I think he's a brilliant filmmaker. He made some classics. I just didn't think it was a winning great situation for anybody."
- Latino Review I think.
