Actor Bruce Campbell has become synonymous with Ash Williams, the Deadite-slaying star of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise; it’s a fact Campbell himself jokingly bemoaned in 2007’s meta horror-comedy My Name is Bruce.
Still, after 3 feature films and 3 seasons of Starz’s now-cancelled Ash vs Evil Dead, Campbell broke legions of horror fans’ hearts by stating emphatically that he’s retired from the franchise.
In many ways, one has to wonder why Ghost House and TriStar Pictures haven’t already attempted to retain Alvarez and Levy for another Evil Dead film?
It’s important to remember just how popular 2013’s Evil Dead was, both financially and critically.
