Following the release of Army of Darkness in 1992, the Evil Dead franchise was dormant for a long period of time. In addition to the trilogy-capper not performing well at the box office, the three masterminds behind the cult movies – Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Rob Tapert – all saw their careers flourish during the last decade of the 20th century working on non-Evil Dead related projects. Fans, however, never gave up hope on the idea of seeing another horrific adventure with Deadites and the Necronomicon.
For years there was a lot of chatter about a specific Army Of Darkness sequel that never ended up going anywhere – but an idea that was able to take root was the idea of a remake.
