Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead reboot is currently shooting in New Zealand, and Starz wants you to know that it’s going to be a bloody good time. Raimi’s directing the first episode of the ten-episode series he co-wrote with his brother Ivan. Bruce Campbell reprises his role as “Ash,†who, according to Starz, has spent “the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead†with his trusty chainsaw. The cast also includes Ray Santiago as Ash’s sidekick, Dana DeLorenzo as a “moody wild child,†and Jill Marie Jones as a disgraced state trooper on the hunt for Ash. Lucy Lawless stars as Ruby, a “mysterious figure†who believes that our good old stock boy is the cause of the Evil outbreaks. The dead return some time this fall.
