Sam Raimi Delays 'Evil Dead 4'...Again

You know what? Screw Sam Raimi. There - I said it.

After all, Raimi is the guy who told all of Comic Con this summer that he and his brother were going to leave San Diego, sit down together, and crank out a fourth Evil Dead movie. Huzzah! Who wouldn't be excited about that? And now we're left crestfallen by the brothers Raimi and their inaction.

“We never did it,” Raimi told MTV, adding, “there was too much work to do on Drag Me to Hell." Fair enough, I guess. But while we're anxious to see if Spidey-sized success has spoiled one of the great low-budget filmmakers of all time with his return to horror next year, Drag Me to Hell simply isn't Evil Dead.

All hope is not lost, though. Raimi said that Evil Dead 4 has not been scrapped, but it has been placed, in his words, "on the back-burner." And Raimi's got a massive freakin' stove: In addition to Drag Me to Hell, there are two more Spider-Man movies, and those ought to take another three or four years between them. In the words of the great Inigo Montoya, "I hate waiting." So when will Evil Dead Quatro happen, Sam?

“I’m honored some people want to see it, and I’d like to do it, and one day I will,” he added. “I just don’t know when.”

Grumble...grumble.

Younger than Ron Perlman in Hellboy, but not by much.
