Movie Reboot: The Evil Dead?

Seems that Sam Raimi has decided to proceed forward with a reboot of 'The Evil Dead'.  Yes, this is the same Sam Raimi from the SpiderMan film fame.  If you're not familiar with 'The Evil Dead' series, than shame on you.  Just kidding, but seriously what rock do you live under?

'The Evil Dead' was original released in 1981 and has since developed a huge cult following an spun off 2 other films 'Evil Dead II' and 'Army of Darkness'.  All three films chronicle that awesome adventures of mishap horror-hero Ash.  The series is known for it's campy, B-Film style and over the top violence and not to forget the one and only Mr. Bruce Campbell in the lead role as Ash.  And we all know that nobody can dispatch monsters quite like Bruce Campbell can.

Sam Raimi has employed Fedrico Alvarez to direct 'Evil Dead IV' which will more than likely be a reboot and possibly have a female as the lead role?  That's what rumor is saying.  Apparently, Bruce Campbell is psyched for the film wherein he tweeted: "Believe in the remake dog!" as part of  a recent tweet.

Hopefully Sam Raimi will stay close to the film and make sure it stays just the way an Evil Dead flick should stay: campy, scary, violent, and fun!
