Bruce Campbell says Evil Dead is killing its way into animation

I Evil Dead The franchise has been well looked after for decades, but it’s only recently returned to the spotlight. We already knew at least two more movies to follow from last year Evil Dead Rise, but it sounds like the series will continue live through animation.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly to promote his new show Hysteria, recurring leading man Bruce Campbell has said that an “animated version” of the horror franchise is currently in the works. While being mum about certain things, she said the show will allow her to continue playing Ash Williams, who last appeared in the series for three seasons. Ashes vs. Evil Dead. He said he’s actually down to voice Ash “all day long,” mostly because his voice hasn’t changed in decades as much as his body has.

Campbell has already received the legacy treatment Ashes vs. so it seems that this show will be the only way to see his character going forward. Despite how that sounds, you think Evil Dead it will be fine without him, just like how it went with Sam Raimi’s involvement. His only hope is that future films remember what made the series so special. “Take the things people love,” he said, “which is innocent people being victimized by a brutal organization, and people who have no ability to stop it.”

Speaking of the future, Campbell gave a little tease of what to expect for the next two movies. Earlier this year, we read one of these episodes from Sébastien Vaniček, and the other an original tale written and directed by Francis Galluppi. The scripts for both films are ready to go, and Campbell said one studio will finance and distribute both. There is a lot of effort to get these out the door since then The Bad Dead Rise it had the best box office of the group at $146 million worldwide. And since the audience loved the series’ “new incarnation”, why not kneel down and make sure there are no more 10-year gaps between entries?
