Bruce Campbell recently teased that even though he was officially retired from the role of Ash, the EVIL DEAD series would live on in new ways – including a new video game headed our way. Personally, I'm hoping this means a much-anticipated sequel to Fede Alvarez's much beloved 2013 reboot's starring Jane Levy (see above). But what does the actress herself think of a new entry? Well, she's not so sure anything is happening…
Jane Levy says of EVIL DEAD PART II:
I just read that Bruce Campbell said you were making another one. I have heard many rumors through the years, whether it’s on the internet or through my agent, and I don’t have anything to tell you, although I’m tempted to make something up because that’s what everyone else does who’s involved with the franchise. They love to just rile up the fans every couple of months by saying some nonsense. But it’s incredible to be part of something with such a strong fan base, and I feel so lucky that I was embraced and not rejected by the Evil Dead fans, and I think Bruce Campbell is so cool.
She then added:
And I do not have any immediate plans to be in the Evil Dead universe.
Bummer. I don't know about you but I thought Levy (and the 2013 reboot in general) was a welcome addition to the EVIL DEAD canon. I can only hope we see a sequel one of these days. How about you? Let us know below! Until then remember that the 2013 remake followed:
Mia (Jane Levy), a drug addict, is determined to kick the habit. To that end, she asks her brother, David (Shiloh Fernandez), his girlfriend, Natalie (Elizabeth Blackmore) and their friends Olivia (Jessica Lucas) and Eric (Lou Taylor Pucci) to accompany her to their family's remote forest cabin to help her through withdrawal. Eric finds a mysterious Book of the Dead at the cabin and reads aloud from it, awakening an ancient demon. All hell breaks loose when the malevolent entity possesses Mia.
EVIL DEAD (2013) was directed by Fede Alvarez from a screenplay written by Alvarez along with Rodo Sayagues based on The Evil Dead by Sam Raimi. Raimi produced the remake along with Campbell and Robert Tapert. The flick starred Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, and Elizabeth Blackmore. If for some reason you don't already own the movie on Blu-ray, you can snag a copy on UNRATED Blu-ray HERE.
