This being officially announced with Bruce as Ash and not as some bullshit re-imagining would be the greatest day ever.

That said . . what's this, Raimi's 500th hint at doing Evil Dead 4? I'm not holding my breath. Evil Dead will eventually be whored out to the remake train like everything else, and the franchise will finally be killed forever, at least how we all know it.

They had a great opportunity to do it about 5 or 6 years ago, when Evil Dead was at the heights of its popularity. Now its kind of faded out again, and most of the die-hard fans are just not as enthused about the genre as a whole anymore. Thats how it seems to me, anyway.
