Raimi told a packed panel discussion that he and franchise star Bruce Campbell were actively developing\/writing a TV series version of his iconic films.<\/p>\n<p>Raimi didn&#8217;t divulge much details so we don&#8217;t know if it will follow in the continuity of the original trilogy of films in which he directed Campbell, if it will pick up from last year&#8217;s remake or if it will stand on its own. He also did not hint as to whether the tone of the series would be more straight-up horror of some of the entries in the franchise or veer towards the black comedy of other of the series&#8217;s films.<\/p>\n<p>It strikes me as that the success of the <strong>Evil Dead<\/strong> films is due to their compactness. A single setting in an isolated location and the tension being ratcheted continually up makes for some gripping filmmaking. I am not quite sure how Raimi and Campbell will manage to broaden the story out to support a whole TV series. Of course, I thought that way when it was announced that Robert Rodriguez was expanding his film <strong>From Dusk Till Dawn<\/strong> into a 13 part series for his new El Rey cable outlet and that turned out to be pretty good. And this is Raimi, and if there&#8217;s anyone who knows the workings of the franchise, its him and Campbell. It will be interesting to see how this develops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">Ash could fighting deadites on the small screen on a weekly basis.<\/div>\n<p> <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2014\/07\/25\/sdcc-sam-raimi-announces-evil-dead-tv-series-in-development\/\" title=\"SDCC: Sam Raimi Announces EVIL DEAD TV Series In Development\">[click for more]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[84],"tags":[369,467],"series":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-34508","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-news","7":"tag-bruce-campbell","8":"tag-sam-raimi"},"aioseo_notices":[],"nelio_content":{"autoShareEndMode":"never","automationSources":{"useCustomSentences":false,"customSentences":[]},"efiAlt":"","efiUrl":"","followers":[2],"highlights":[],"isAutoShareEnabled":false,"networkImageIds":[],"permalinkQueryArgs":[],"series":[],"suggestedReferences":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34508","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34508"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34508\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34508"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34508"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34508"},{"taxonomy":"series","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/series?post=34508"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
