With Evil Dead, a remake to the groundbreaking horror classic, opening on April 5th, rumors about the future of the franchise have been circulating for several weeks now. At the new film’s recent SXSW premiere, director Fede Alvarez announced that a sequel to his remake was in the works. While the original trilogy’s director Sam Raimi admitted during his press tour for Oz the Great and Powerful, that he was planning on writing a forth installment of the franchise with his brother Ivan. At first, the proposed film was considered to be entitled Evil Dead 4, but was later confirmed to actually be Army of Darkness 2, a direct sequel to the final film in the original series. 

Today, at WonderCon 2013 during a panel presentation for Evil Dead, Alvarez and producer/original series star Bruce Campbell announced that their ultimate plan would be for Alvarez’s Evil Dead 2 and Raimi’s Army of Darkness 2 to be followed by a seventh movie that merges the narratives of both films and include the characters of Ash (Campbell) and Mia (Jane Levy). Campbell was even quoted as saying, “I think seven is a nice number.” 

However, when I had a chance to speak with actor/producer Bruce Campbell right before the panel, he seemed less enthused with the possibilities of a sequel to Army of Darkness and reprising his legendary role as Ash. The following is my conversation with Campbell about the proposed sequel, why he is so skeptical, and how he feels about returning to play his beloved character. I also had a chance to ask him about proposed sequels to two of his other popular films, Bruce vs. Frankenstein, which is a follow up to ‘2007s My Name is Bruce. As well as Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires, a sequel to ‘2002s Bubba Ho-tep, a movie that up until this point the actor has stated he had no interest in making.  

Judy Greer is a phenomenally talented actress, a beautiful woman with surgical comedic instincts. 

She'll be putting those instincts to use in her first major motion-capture role as Cornelia, the lead female chimpanzee in next year's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Opening in theaters on March 28th is the new action film G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which is a sequel to G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and based on Hasbo's popular line of toys, comic books, and cartoon series. The movie was directed by Jon M. Chu (Justin Bieber: Never Say Never), and features returning stars Channing Tatum (Haywire), Ray Park (Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace), Byung-hun Lee (I Saw the Devil), Arnold Vosloo (The Mummy), and Jonathan Pryce (Tomorrow Never Dies), as well as newcomers to the franchise such as Dwayne Johnson (Fast Five), Adrianne Palicki (Red Dawn), D.J. Cotrona (Dear John), Ray Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone), Elodie Yung (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Walton Goggins (Django Unchained), RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists), and Bruce Willis (A Good Day to Die Hard).

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had a chance to sit down with D.J. Cotrona to talk about his role in G.I. Joe: Retaliation. The popular actor discussed the new film, why it has a different tone than the original, playing the pivotal role of Flint, how he's been a fan of the character since he was a kid, telling Flint's origin story, having Duke pass the torch to him during the course of the film, the importance of Flint and Lady Jaye's (Palicki) romance to the franchise's mythology, his concerns when he heard that the director of Justin Bieber: Never Say Never was directing the film, what he learned from working with Bruce Willis, why Dwayne Johnson is the nicest guy in Hollywood, and which obscure G.I. Joe characters he would like to see pop up in a possible sequel.
