Campbell Open to Evil Dead 4 and Bubba Nosferatu
by Fred Topel | May 05, 2007
Discuss Article
Even though he's in charge of the massive "Spider-Man" franchise and in the running for films like "The Hobbit," Sam Raimi always says he wants to make another "Evil Dead" film with Bruce Campbell. Campbell isn't quite as touched by that as one might think, and may suggest that it's not in the director's best interest to do so at the moment.

"Sam probably didn't mention the second half of that, which is he doesn't need to right now," said Campbell. "We can always make an 'Evil Dead' movie when we're in the old actors and directors home. But right now, he's not quite there."

Campbell's idea suggests a brilliant idea: Old Ash versus the deadites! "Oh yeah, absolutely. He's out of it. I'd make him an old ass. I'd make him like a Bubba Ho-tep."

Speaking of which, "Bubba Ho-tep" was such a fan favorite that director Don Coscarelli wants to bring back Campbell for "Bubba Nosferatu." Coscarelli is waiting but Campbell is holding out. "When we have a script," he said. "Everyone's working diligently on the script. So when that's done, we'll see what we got."

It would almost be worth Spiderman failing miserably if it brought us Evil Dead 4.

Spiderman 4, The Hobbit or Evil Dead ? No brainer; time for Raimi to throw off the cobwebs, forget about Middle Earth and get back to doing what he does best.

Bruce Campbell > Any other actor Raimi has ever worked with

Evil Dead is amazing, and we need another. As long as it can live up to the originals, especially 2.

Campbell's cameo in Spiderman 3 was probably the only good part of that movie.

is it just me, or was that whole movie meant to be a joke? the musical montages....wtf????

yes campbell was perfect in part three. "i'm french and also romantic" lol

evil dead 4 must be made even if only the internet geek will see it. it's just too good to not do it.

maybe campbell should be playing a old ash that works as a fake french waiter and must battle evil.

that would be cool, an older, grizzled-but-still-a-smartass Ash taking on the Deadites.

Maybe Sam should've worked on Evil Dead 4 before tackling Spiderman 3. it probably would have been better than it is. Spiderman 3 let me down. Big Time.

Bubba Nosforatu is a HELL YES IN MY BOOK!!!!!! Also, bring back Black JFK. He was awesome.

After seeing Spider-Man 3, corny Bruce Campbell movies is what Raimi ought to be doing from now on, he definitely should not even touch The Hobbit!

Bubba Nosferatu - yes. Black JFK will have to be played by a new actor though if they plan to bring that character back. Ossie Davis passed away a year or so. I agree, too, he was awesome.
