The successful horror classic spawned “Evil Dead II” and a
third film “Army of Darkness”, cementing director Sam Raimi’s
place in Hollywood.
Now Raimi and Campbell are back for the television series “Ash
vs Evil Dead” which picks up where “Army of Darkness” left off
-- although for UK fans the third film had an alternative
ending.
"Nothing's changed playing Ash," Campbell at the series’
premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Wednesday.
"He's the same moron he always was but it's great to come back
and play him when I have more acting experience now. I can fix
him. I can make Ash better, I can retool him, I can make him
talk, I can make him into a proper citizen so expect the
unexpected with Ash."
“Ash vs Evil Dead”, which also co-stars Lucy Lawless, Ray
Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo and Jill Marie Jones premieres on Starz
on October 31. The network has already announced it is
commissioning the show for a second season.
