The whole thing about The Evil Dead is that the dead come back to life… but it seems that Ash Williams has more lives than that the zombie monsters he kills.
Because the legend that is Bruce Campbell is back as Ash Williams again! Hail to the king, baby!
Yes, Ash is back to star in a new Evil Dead Video Game. When asked about this previous announcement that he was retiring from the role:
Good people, Evil Dead fans everywhere, I bid you a heartfelt farewell playing Ash – the character I took acting lessons with for 39 years.
I am hereby retiring from that portrayal. It’s time. I followed Ash from his formative years thru his mid-life crisis and decline. What a thrill! What a privilege!
We had a great resurgence with the help of Starz (kudos not jeers, folks). They made it possible for 15 more hours of Evil Dead-ness in your life – the equivalent of 10 more features!
Is Ash dead? Never. Ash is as much a concept as a person. Where there is evil in this world, there must be one to counter – man or woman, it matters not.
Thanks for watching.
Love,
Bruce
But, but, but… isn’t he still coming back to play Ash? Isn’t that going back on the deal?
“Oh no no, that’s different,” Bruce said, “I have previous obligations I have to fulfill. They are doing a video game. A whole immersive kind of dealio. I’ll be Ash for that, because I wouldn’t want someone else’s voice hamming it up.”
Word is that the game may be virtual reality, but we’ll keep you posted.
But we’re just cool with Ash returning… and perhaps we’ll see the cliff hanger from Ash Vs Evil Dead resolved some day.
Thoughts?
