Last week, Oz: The Great and Powerful director Sam Raimi dropped big news. He plans on writing the screenplay for Evil Dead 4 this summer, along with his brother Ivan Raimi.
The filmmaker clarified his comments at a press conference, where he revealed he was somewhat goaded into giving that response. However, the director also said he has more passion than ever to make the sequel.
I'm afraid that every time I talk about it people get really mad at me when I don't follow through with it. I would like to work on the script over the summer, that much is true. But the reason to come back and do it again is only that they're making me, those fans.
I was saying to Ivan 'Why do they stay on this thing? Why do they keep at it?' He said 'They want to make a movie. You're a filmmaker and your fans are asking you to make the movie. What are you, an idiot? Make the movie!' I guess there's something I don't see. It makes sense when Ivan says it... but I didn't have a tremendous amount of passion until right now to bring to it.
I love working with Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert, I have so much fun making those movies, but the fans are really forcing me into it."
Sam Raimi's latest film, Oz: The Great and Powerful, opens nationwide on March 8. We'll keep you posted with any updates on the status of Evil Dead 4 as soon as more information is released. The Evil Dead remake which Sam Raimi produced arrives in theaters April 5.
Evil Dead 4 comes to theaters in 2016 and stars Bruce Campbell. The film is directed by Sam Raimi.
