I abhor the idea of a remake too -- or at least I did, until...

Quote from: Weak2ndActRaimi will not direct the remake, so Ghost House is looking for a helmer to reinvent the franchise before a script is written.

...when AICN reported on this story, they hinted that Raimi is talking to non other than...Chan Wook Park to do the remake. IF THIS IS TRUE, then I heartily endorse it.

EDIT: My mind being addled, I originally wrote Takeshi Miike's name there instead of Park. But in correcting myself, I realized that it would be inconceivably cooler if Miike directed an Evil Dead remake. Can you imagine how awesome that would be? Christ!

yeah i thought AICN was hinting at miike, but i didnt really know cause i've only seen Audition. but that is the only thing that makes me not entirely full of hatred.

..there will be at least two or three "just because you're black doesn't mean you can't make it" films that will be released in 2005. Why is it every single year people feel the need to make these?

pete · January 23, 2005, 03:34:30 AM

yeah, I know, why must black people have hope?

but seriously.

If you like sitcom situations stretched to feature length, you'll LOVE The Wedding Date!

This is one Jamie Kennedy Experiment that succeeds marvelously!

More like The Greatest Movie Ever Made!

EDIT: This movie is directed by Bill Paxton. The same guy who directed Frailty. What the hell?

Rob Tapert on The Evil Dead Remake
Source: Sci Fi Wire January 26, 2005

Rob Tapert, who runs Ghost House Pictures with "Spider-Man" franchise director Sam Raimi, talked to Sci Fi Wire about producing the upcoming remake of The Evil Dead, which original star Bruce Campbell will also produce.

Tapert said they're going to be careful. "I talk to Bruce Campbell every other day, and he says, 'You should see the message boards and all of the stuff I get saying "Please don't do it!"' So we're certainly going to have to tread carefully."

He added that "as long as we stay true to what was the original model of the first Evil Dead, which was that we want to hurt and punish the audience, then those who love it will be satisfied."

"We mean to bring that out to a whole new generation in something that honors all of the people that loved it and yet gives them a new and thrilling ride that they weren't expecting. That's the challenge, and hopefully if we succeed that's kind of the glory."

Raimi wrote, directed and produced the 1981 film, which tells the tale of a group of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, where they find an unspeakable evil lurking in the forest. One by one, the teens become deadly zombies. With only Ash (Campbell) remaining, it is up to him to survive the night and battle The Evil Dead.

Raimi will not direct the remake, so Ghost House is looking for a helmer to reinvent the franchise before a script is written.

The original film spawned sequels Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness.

Well, at least we know they know that we don't want it. That's not going to stop them but it's a start. The outcry may have shifted this from Texas Chainsaw remake territory to Dawn of the Dead remake territory.

I can dream...

It's good that they read message boards and consider them some. It's true they'll be disregarding the fans' wishes by making it anyway, but maybe it we work REALLY hard, p.t. anderson's new movie might come out!

Here's to hoping!

Here's to giving up...
