If Evil Dead was a high budget film, it would flop. It would probably still do great for the first week or so at the box office because of all the die-hard fans, but after that everybody would be saying how terrible it was, nothing like the other ones.
And I don't think they should make another one. The series is great as it is, why dig it up and destroy the greatness by adding crap (or risk ruining by adding crap I should say)?
I dont know when your posts were put on but a group of fans have made evil dead 4 it doesnt star bruce though. Unfortunatly i havent seen it and i dont know where to find info on it so soz if this sounds a bit sus but trust me it is out there somewhere maybe somone will read this and be able to say more. 🍺
i found this on aintitcool.com...thought it might be of interest to you folks...
Hey Harry,
This morning Gustav and Daria, two local Portland radio mini-celebs, interviewed the King- Bruce-I'm cooler-than-Colin-Farrell Campbell- on the opening/ short run of Bubba-Ho-Tep at Cinema 21.
Daria began her last question with the warning to Bruce that he wouldn't like what she was about to ask, then preceded to tell him she'd interviewed Robert Englund a couple of weeks ago and he said a Freddy/ Jason/ Ash crossover was in negotiations and if Bruce could confirm that rumour.
Bruce answered that "Robert was a pretty smart and perceptive guy" and that negotiations were underway by guys in suits at the studios. Basically the fight is over whose franchise would come out on top in the potential crossover. Daria quipped that "we should just let the geeks fight it out" to which Bruce answered "yeah, let Harry Knowles decide who wins."
Personally I'm not keen on the crossover idea of a crossover with Ash and Freddy. The "Evil Dead" films are light years cooler than the "Nightmare" series and Ash wouldn't be caught dead slumming on Elm street. On the other hand: I'll take what "Evil Dead" their willing to dish out, even if he has to share time with Freddy, 'cause the franchise looks all but dead. And I'm always happy to see Bruce working.
Stay out of Double-Secret-Probation.

army of darkness was hilarious, i have no problem with a movie not taking itself seriously. and it would be very easy to make the fourth one scary again. Just because the last one was funny means nothing.
