Sam Raimi Planning To Write ‘Evil Dead 4’ Script This Summer

Sam Raimi was in London today to attend a Meet the Filmmakers event for his latest film OZ The Great And Powerful, and as you would expect, there were some Evil Dead questions asked. Someone asked if the director had any plans for a fourth movie in the series, that would take place after Army Of Darkness, and surprisingly Raimi replied with:

“I would love to make Evil Dead 4. My brother and I plan to work on the script this summer.”

There’s been rumors about plans for a fourth movie in the franchise for quite some time and many had assumed that these plans were scapped after they revealed this year’s remake of Evil Dead. Maybe Fede Alvarez’s film has renewed Raimi’s interest in a fourth installment in the franchise? The director most likely plans to work on the script with his brother Ivan, who was a co-writer on Army Of Darkness and Drag Me to Hell. Well, it appears that we may be seeing Ash Williams facing off against Deadites once again after all.
