If you’d prefer an Evil Dead 4 to the upcoming remake of The Evil Dead (which just began shooting this week), you may just get your wish … but it won’t make Sam Raimi very happy. The filmmaker is suing Awards Pictures, which is readying its own movie, Evil Dead 4: Consequences. You see, the folks at Awards Pictures claim that because Raimi let the franchise languish for so long and claimed he’d never direct another sequel after Army of Darkness, the Evil Dead name had effectively been abandoned. Good luck with that!
