Raimi stated-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I love working with Bruce Campbell and he\u2019s like Allison [Lohman, star of Raimi\u2019s <strong>Drag Me To Hell<\/strong>]. He\u2019s super willing to do anything to make it right. He\u2019s a very funny guy, but mostly he\u2019s got this quality where he will physically do anything to get the shot done right, so I would love to work with Bruce again because I\u2019d love to test those limits. I\u2019d love to make another <strong>Evil Dead<\/strong> picture. And actually that\u2019s in the wheelhouse. I\u2019d like to work on it with my brother Ivan [Raimi] when he comes up next week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now if he can get this made as well as a film adaptation of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.filmbuffonline.com\/FBOLNewsreel\/wordpress\/2006\/10\/05\/evil-dead-the-musical-groovy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Evil Dead: The Musical<\/a><\/em>, then all will be right in the world!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terminator: Salvation<\/strong>&#8211; The fact that it still is in production didn&#8217;t slow down director\u00a0McG from attending the con to start drumming up interest for his upcoming Arnold-less <strong>Terminator<\/strong> sequel, which he states has now been given studio permission to go for an R rating. Joining him on the stage were cast members Bryce Dallas Howard, Moon Bloodgood, Anton Yelchin, and Sam Worthington.
