Sam Raimi says he's open to more 'Evil Dead' projects in the future.
The horror genre continues its killer run at the box office with the release of Scream VI this past weekend. However, Scream’s not the only iconic franchise returning in 2023 as Evil Dead will be rising from the grave in the appropriately titled Evil Dead Rise. The film releases this April and is premiering this week at the South By Southwest Film Festival. The marketing for Rise has been slowly scaring moviegoers everywhere.
A Possible Future For Evil Dead Raimi began his Evil Dead conversations by talking about his past ideas for the franchise involving storylines that would continue exploring both Campbell’s Ash and Jane Levy’s Mia from 2013's Evil Dead. “That character, Mia, was great, so I was very interested,” Raimi said. “We had been talking about an Evil Dead IV for the other branch of that universe, and we were worried a little bit about a collision. Ash Vs Evil Dead is what that morphed into.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The conversation would then move to reteaming with Campbell and producer Rob Tapert for a potential new Evil Dead project. All three have been involved with the blood-soaked franchise since the very beginning in 1981. Raimi would go onto say, “I love working with Bruce and Rob. I love it as a producer because they’re really good partners, but I also like being supported by them as the director. So I hope that is on the cards eventually.
What's the Plot of Evil Dead Rise? However, as horror fans, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. Evil Dead Rise is the next installment in the franchise and will see the return of the Necronomicon as it terrorizes a young family in a Los Angeles apartment building. While the franchise has bounced around from campy horror scares to horror comedy slapstick, Rise looks to be following in the footsteps of the pure horror of 2013's Evil Dead.
While it remains to be seen how this latest installment will tie into the larger universe, Evil Dead Rise will be released exclusively in theaters on April 21, 2023. Raimi and Campbell return as producers while Lee Cronin directed the film. Whether Evil Dead’s future sees Raimi return as a director or Campbell as its star, it sounds like the Deadites aren’t being buried anytime soon.
