Evil Dead: The Musical going to the Big Screen!
So according to Screen Daily News, Don Carmody and his business partners are in negotiations with director Sam Raimi to bring to the screen the musical version of the former horror meister’s Evil Dead films, Evil Dead: The Musical.
The articles says the musical was conceived by
George Reinblatt, Christopher Bond, Frank Cipolla and Melissa Morris, the camp stage interpretation of Raimi’s cult classic horror trilogy was originally mounted in Toronto and Montreal and has since gone off-Broadway.
It also went to discuss some other tid-bits about the project,
Original directors Bond and choreographer Hinton Battle are lined up to co-direct the film version, which will be presented in 3-D. Carmody told Screen International he hopes to shoot the film in the spring of next year in Toronto with some of the original cast. However, he adds, serious rights issues still need to be resolved.
The film version will feature songs such as “I’m Not A Killer” and “Look Who’s Evil Now”, the stage version featured an audience-participation area known as the “splatter zone”.
As a fan of the Bruce, this might be the capacity of which the series will hit the big screen again. That being said a singing Bruce will be interesting and if it is on the big screen then he should be in it…otherwise it is just a gay zombie musical.That being said if it goes right then gay will finally be funny and bloody.
