UPDATE: The new Evil Dead remake or possibly sequel really is happening, maybe, according to some people

In a story that seems to sprout up every couple of months or so, only to vanish back underground leaving fans feeling violated, like some sort of terrible raping tree, rumors have once again begun to circulate that a new Evil Dead film is really, truly on the way. Dread Central kicked things off with a report that Sam Raimi’s long-time editor Bob Murawski had relocated to Detroit, where he was expected to work on another edition of the franchise that would be “a small indie thing like the first two.” At the moment, of course, there’s no word on the involvement of Raimi himself—and considering he’s tied up with Oz The Great And Powerful and committed to at least half a dozen other projects besides that, it seems unlikely that he’ll be back behind the camera in time for this. Murawski’s supposed sudden move to Detroit also seems odd, considering he, too, is committed to working on Oz The Great And Powerful. Also, no one seems to be sure whether it's another sequel or the long-proposed remake, meaning this whole story is just as murky and suspect as all other Evil Dead-related speculation, and we're also now complicit in perpetuating it. So, you're welcome.
