Bruce Campbell returning to TV as Ash in a new "Evil Dead"

[NewJeffCT]

This is his boomstick!

Director, writer, and producer Sam Raimi announced at Comic-Con that he and Bruce Campbell are working on a TV adaptation of their beloved horror/slapstick/anti-literacy franchise The Evil Dead, a long-running series of movies, comics, and video games about the dangers of reading that most recently manifested in last year’s sequel/remake thing, directed by Fede Alvarez. Campbell, Raimi, and Raimi’s brother and frequent collaborator Ivan—who created the franchise together more than 30 years ago—are apparently working on the show’s script, with Campbell set to reprise his role as series hero, Ash Williams. Since 1992’s Army Of Darkness, Ash has largely been absent from the pop culture landscape, save for a two-second post-credits scene in the 2013 remake.
