Return of the King
When we first heard that splatterpunk epic Evil Dead was getting a Starz-fuelled TV spin-off, our reaction was one of weary resignation as opposed to fanboyish elation. After all, Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi have been teasing the return of Evil Dead in one form or another since Army of Darkness appeared all the way back in '92. So, after years of empty promises, the deal with cable network Starz to produce 10 half-hour episodes of Evil Dead for TV seemed too good to be true.
Well, sometimes miracles do happen, and despite our cynicism it looks Sam Raimi's beloved series is finally returning from the dead. Filming for the show began in New Zealand recently, and to commemorate the occasion, Starz has released an Ash vs Evil Dead poster that depicts chin-wielding anti-hero Ash surrounded by spooky forest, trademark chainsaw held aloft.
They have also put out a slick motion poster, which, if you're into that kind of thing, you can check out here.
