Het afgelopen weekeinde vond in Amerika het SXSW plaats. Daar waren een shitload aan bekende acteurs en actrices aanwezig en ook Bruce Campbell die we allemaal kennen uit de orignele Evil Dead triologie. Hij heeft daar dit interview gegeven en daar kan je hier onder vast al een stukje van lezen.

When you started Evil Dead in the '80s, did you have any idea then that it would attain the kind of cult status it has now?

How could we? The answer is no. No, it just grew over a very long period. It took four years to make, took about six years to break even. So this was a very long road.

It seemed like a remake or a sequel was discussed for years. What finally happened to make the remake a go?

It didn't take that long to decide whether to do it or not because there was no thought process until Fede came along. We talked about a sequel more than a remake. When Fede came along, it gave an opportunity to make a new Evil Dead movie that was not a sequel. It was going to be without Ash because Sam wanted the ability at some point in the future, do another one, which we still might. So he wanted it to be different and distinct so that's why there's no Ash, and that's why I'm not in it as a cameo. Why take a crappy part? I want the part of Ash. You're going to give me a part in an Evil Dead movie, give me the lead part.
