I'd definitely see them both just to see what they'd be like but....
They just can't remake a movie like that. Movies have changed so much, and so have effects, and.....it just wouldn't be the same.... not the same feel or anything.
ED2 being "basically a remake" is a common misconception because how it seems to have a beginning and an end. It actually starts off where ED1 ends. They just wanted to do a recap sequence at the beginning, couldn't include the original footage, and didn't want to pay a bunch of actors for the reshoot.
Evil Dead cannot be remade
its a movie of its time surounded by the video nasties controv of the mid 80s that stands as a unique classic.
I can see a log cabin in the woods attacked by deadites will get the kids jized up but its a remake too far.
Enough of these pointless remakes.
I remember seeing evil dead for the first time when I bought it on PSP and I loved it, tbh I doubt a remake could match or out do how well Evil dead did, I think it's best to leave it be rather than remake it
I disagree whole heartedly. The Evil Dead made very little money, and that was on video. A remake would make more money in it's opening weekend than the original has in the 26 years since it was released.
I'm all for a remake. It's a great story that they could go basically anywhere with. All they need is a group of college kids going to a cabin in the woods and unwittingly unleashing the evil dead. There's 5 minutes of film time. Completely new characters, completely new situations............could be great stuff. Forget all this loyalty that horror-geeks seem to have...."don't remake that, it's sacred". To hell with that. If you can make a good horror movie to entertain me, go for it. I'd rather have a remake done right with the original film maker as the producer than to have some cheap knock-off B movie without even paying tribute to the name of the movie they're ripping the idea from.
Considering that there have been talks about a evil dead4 for a few years now and starting last year, Raimi shooting down all possibilities of another one. I doubt that information is current. I would like to think it is though. I have read and seen several interviews of him saying that a remake is something he wants to and has been trying to do.
It doesnt make sense that they would make both an evil dead 4 and a remake. An evil dead remake is obviously going to be geared to revitalizing the story and introducing new fans. Releasing an evil dead 4 or a remake of Evil dead followed by the other would just confuse non fans and most likely dissuade them from attending the second movie. Personally i dont think the series should be touched. The appeal of the movies are due to the low budget cheeseball fun intertwined with some legetimitely scary moments. As a fan of the series, a remake that focuses soley on the horror aspect would feel out of place.

Raimi's production company will indeed be remaking the film. However, he has already stated that he will not be writing it, he wants new writers and film makers to put their twist on the story. The only command from Raimi is that the character of Ash is not allowed to be used in the story in any way.
now that sounds interesting. I wonder if it will follow the same angle of being told through a personal perspective of one person caught in the midst of unfolding evil or a group. I think Evil dead 1&2 are quite unique in that respect. There are not many horror movies where there is essentially no supporting characters. I think it gives a sense of dread.
