I suppose if that’s all it takes, there are loads of properties out there readers and I can start developing. What do you say folks? Anyone up for putting together say 2030? Hell, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke are dead so it should be all good…
It wasn’t much of a court battle though as representatives of Awards Pictures failed to appear in court. Due to Awards failure to act the state of California has permanently placed an injunction against Awards Pictures from using the Evil Dead name or in any way asserting they own the trademark.
As far as official plans for Evil Dead, Raimi is producing a new version of the original film (alongside Bruce Campbell and Rob Tappert) with Federico Alvarez directing a script by Academy Award winner Diablo Cody. Principle photography for the film is complete and it is currently in post production with a release target of 2013. This remake has a new twist as our hero will be a woman this time around: actress Jane Levy. Raimi is also working with Sony on a fourth film in the Evil Dead series. Here’s a fun idea… what if the female Ashe teams up with the old school Bruce Campbell Ashe in some sort of alternate universe?
Dueling boomsticks anyone?
