EXCLUSIVE: Ted Raimi Talks Evil Dead 4 and Bruce Vs. Frankenstein

Bruce Campbell may reprise his role as Ash in the the 4th installment

Director Sam Raimi announced in 2009 that he was working on a script with his brother Ivan for Evil Dead IV, the long awaited forth installment to the classic horror franchise. While both Sam Raimi and the franchise's star Bruce Campbell have since confirmed that the script is in the works there have been no new details lately about the status of the project. We recently had the opportunity to speak with actor Ted Raimi, who appeared in all three previous films and is of course Sam's brother, while he was attending the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, an event that recognizes excellence in global web television programming.

We asked the actor point blank if he thought that Evil Dead IV would actually ever get made or if the film is just a pipe dream for fans? "Well it might happen ... but then again ... it might not happen," answered the actor. "You know, it's really Sam's project, it's not my project so I certainly don't want to speak for him but I hope it does go through," continued Raimi. "I know a lot of fans would really love to see it. So that's a big deal for them." Raimi also starred alongside his longtime friend and Army Of Darkness co-star, Bruce Campbell, in the 2006 film My Name Is Bruce, which featured Campbell as a version of him self that is hired to protect a small town from demons. Rumors have since been circulating about a sequel, which was first going to be called My Name Is Still Bruce but was later changed to Bruce Vs. Frankenstein. Raimi confirmed that he would in fact be involved with the project and we asked the actor if the title change meant that the film was no longer going to be a direct sequel to My Name Is Bruce? "Yes and no. I don't want to say it is My Name Is Bruce 2 but it is a movie with Bruce Campbell in it," replied Raimi. "Maybe, it might be," he continued cryptically. "Am I being very clear? No? Good I'm glad!"

Evil Dead was released April 5th, 2013 and stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, Elizabeth Blackmore, Phoenix Connolly, Jim McLarty, Sian Davis. The film is directed by Fede Alvarez.

Bruce Vs. Frankenstein was released in 2011 and stars Bruce Campbell. The film is directed by Bruce Campbell.

    I really want to be excited, but I know better.

    "Evil Dead IV comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Bruce Campbell." I have seen this type of crap before. I once read "Terminator 4 coming to theaters in 2008. Will star Clair Daines and Nick Stahl".

    I'll believe this when I see it. They better get off their asses and get something going now. Don't they want to make money? AOD was 1993. I mean get with it Raimi. Clean the webs out of your brain and get on the ball!! I'm tired of waiting. All of the fans will be dead by the time you get it up for this! Now stop p*ssyfooting around and get busy man!!

    I hope that Evil Dead 4 happens soon. I remember how excited I was when there were talks going back and forth for an Ash Vs. Freddy Vs. Jason film. That would have been one hell of a time.

    I agree, Raimi should go back to the b-movie horror genre. More movies like Drag Me To Hell please.
