The Evil Dead

[Dr. Briggs]

Clearly since Mr. Campbell and Rami are both producing thye obviously saw fit that the Ash character not be in the film.

Well, this brings up the age-old discussion of whether or not creators can be "wrong" about their creations. Not all the time, maybe not this time, but sometimes the authors just lose their touch.

George Clooney, Brad Pitt or Bradley Cooper could all 3 pull it off - imo.

But, this comes back to my previous post ..... we all know Ash is what made The Evil Dead and with such an iconic character as he is, there's no way to take this "remake" seriously without him. To even label this film 'The Evil Dead' is bullshit.

It goes to show how extremely lazy and stupid the writing team & production staff are to not include the character. They are obviously targeting a much younger audience.

I can easily see this being PG-13, and .......... yeah ......... no thanks. Let's just say for arguement's sake it is rated R - there still is NO Ash. Again, no thanks.

George Clooney might have done it in his early days, but his style has changed too much to pull off Ash now. I highly doubt Pitt could do it; he's best in more confident roles, which the original Ash was not. Don't know enough about Bradley Cooper.

From the news so far, the remake isn't going to be PG-13. Diablo Cody called the screenplay extremely violent (she's seen Cannibal Holocaust... apparently). Though, it could very well still suck.
