Groovy
Raimi will be directing and producing Evil Dead 4, which will star Bruce Campbell as ASH and will also have many of the actors from the previous Evil Dead movies. Raimi says that "This is the project I really want to make. The remake can belong to someone else, but part 4 will be a continuation of the original". Ted and Sam Raimi have begun writing Part 4, and will be developing it for production later this year.
I don't care how much you think this will suck. I am just about peeing my pants in excitement.

No way this will suck. This will be freaking awesome is what it will be.
Seriously, Bruce Campbell is a god. More zombie ass kicking? Sign me up.

Raimi is going to have the money to do it right this time, post Spiderman success. So at least the effects should be awesome. I bet it'll actually do very well at the box office, just a prediction.

Holy shazbot!
I remember 9-10 years ago on alt.fan.bruce-campbell where he said there would be no Evil Dead 4.
Oh great, now I'm peeing my pants too!

Damn straight it's going to be bad. I'ts an Evil Dead movie, they wouldn't be awesome if they weren't bad. Evil dead/ED2 woud be NOTHING without the campy effects and Bruce Campbell being... well, being Bruce Campbell. I mean, looking at the criteria for a great horro/disaster movie as seen frequently onthis OND, the ED series fails on all of them so stupendously that they have become Classics. Doesn't matter, i still love them. I know that i'll be going when it comes out in theaters, i just hope that a budget doesn't ruin what we've all come to expect from the series.
:-D

there can be no other Ash than Bruce Campbell. if there is a remake of ED the lead character should NOT be named Ash.

Dude. DUDE. This is the best news I've heard all day. And, now I shall go back to repeating "DUDE". Over and over.

I think it's great. I still have no idea why those other people are making a remake of the first one. I'm glad Cambell turned his nose up at it. Evil Dead 4 is what he should be doing ... w00t.

Kick Ass!
Oh, an can the Elvis character from Bubba Ho-Tep get a cameo, why not Bubba Ho-Tep himself?

Michele, nobody thinks this is going to suck. Nobody of any consequence, anyway. Nobody whose opinion is worth considering.
I'm still giggling at the possibility of Ash vs. Freddie and Jason. Although I think Alien vs. Predator vs. Ash is an even better idea.
A few years ago I ran across a Duke Nukem web site that mentioned similarities betwene Duke and Ash. Never considered it before, but come to think of it, Duke Nukem is kinda what Ash would be if the latter never screwed up.
