Cant seem to find a thread for this yet so thought I would start one.
On July 13, 2011 it was announced that The Evil Dead was being remade and that Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert would produce the film which will be released by Ghost House Pictures and Lionsgate.
A few very brief plot details from screenrant.com
Its been conformed that Ash will not be making a return and rumour has it that the protagonist will be a woman.
I agree it’s a good plan not to try recasting Ash as no one can replace Bruce, but one of the things that was different about Evil Dead is that a man was the hero. So it seems like a mistake to take this out of the remake.
It seems to be off and on if Bruce will make a cameo or not. In a recent interview he said its down to schedule issues between the this and burn notice.

- The film revolves in part around Mia, a twenty-something-year-old woman who has developed a terrible drug addiction as a means of numbing the pain she feels, in the aftermath of her mother’s death.
- David, Mia’s estranged brother, attempts to help his traumatized sibling by taking her along with him, his fiancée, and several old friends for a trip to a secluded cabin in the woods. There, they will attempt to rehabilitate Mia off her substance addiction.
- Eric, one of David’s more “arrogant” and pretentious friends, finds a copy of the Necronomicon (a.k.a. the Book of the Dead) and begins transcribing passages from it. Mia thereafter begins to experience horrifying visions and behaves in an unhinged manner – something her companions write off as just being part of the withdrawal process, despite signs that something far more dangerous is responsible…
