The Evil Dead
In a recent interview with Bloody-Disgusting, Sam Raimi revealed he’s now “working on some ideas” with Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell on where to take the next (presumably Ash-less) Evil Dead movie.
I’d love to make another one. I don’t think TV is in its future but we’re talking about – Bruce[Campbell], Rob [Tapert] and myself – one or two different ways to go for the next movie. We’d like to make another Evil Dead feature and in fact we’re working on some ideas right now.
Friday the 13th
Appearing as a guest on The Pod and the Pendulum podcast, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives director Tom McLoughlin revealed he’s written a script for a new Jason Vorhees movie.
I finally came up with the formula for what I wanted to do and things about six months ago, and wrote the screenplay. And now, I’m stopped dead in my tracks with the lawsuit with Sean Cunningham and Victor Miller, so it’s like I can’t even show it to the studios or anybody.
