It was a fun event for fans of the actor to gather together (socially distanced, of course), watch his films on the big screen and ask him questions. One of the topics that came up during his Q & A session was
Evil Dead Rise, the latest installment in the
Sam Raimi franchise.
Everyone knows that the setting has changed. The Deadites will no longer be terrorizing young people in a cabin in the woods. Bruce reiterated that the action will take place in an urban location.
In his words, “The
Evil Dead are going to **** up a city this time.” Which could lend some credibility to the fact that it might take place in a high-rise. Although, there are many sites in a populated area that the Dark Ones could wreak havoc in like a college, a mall or an office…
We know that Lee Cronin, the talented director of the haunting picture,
The Hole in the Ground is at the helm for the new flick. There will be a new cast according to Campbell. This news will probably disappoint Jane Levy admirers who were hoping to see Mia return in some capacity.
After briefly discussing Cronin’s production, Bruce was asked if he would consider doing a cameo. Jokingly, he retorted, “Shouldn’t I just be in it?” This response was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience.
Unfortunately, the actor has hung up his chainsaw for good, along with portraying Ash Williams in live action efforts. However, there may be a glimmer of hope for
Evil Dead aficionados that would like to see him onscreen in some fashion.
His response to doing a cameo, “Who knows?” Now, he didn’t rule out the possibility but he also didn’t make it seem as if it would definitely happen. The good thing is it sounds like he might entertain the notion if the timing is right and his schedule is clear.
But this is his franchise now, so hopefully he knows what he's doing
