Well
this has been weird. The latest rumors
and what we thought were legitimate news were nothing more than a hoax played
out by none other than Bruce Campbell.
A couple
of weeks ago, we posted that actor Bruce Campbell had gone on record with “[Seriously]
All right, sir, the answer is yes.” in regards to him returning to his iconic
role has Ash in Army of Darkness 2. Now however the actor is blaming the
internet for exaggerating and copy pasting bits of speeches and information and
manufacturing news that weren’t really news.
“It’s
not news. Let me dispel that right now. It’s all internet B.S. There’s no
reality whatsoever. These random comments slip out of my mouth or Sam Raimi’s
mouth, next thing you know, we’re making a sequel. So unless it’s announced
from Renaissance Pictures, it’s not real. Or unless you have a start date or a
release date. We do appreciate people’s enthusiasm for another ‘Army Of
Darkness,’ but they should just wait until it’s real. And I feel bad for people
because the Internet is so prey to misinformation. So I just encourage to get the
real information, not just … if you heard something.”
Well
sure that may very well be, but let’s not put aside that the so call “internet
B.S.” created a lot of press surrounding the film, which was something that
this particular project seemed to and seems to be lacking.
As
for Alvarez, it seems that the news media didn’t jump the gun after all, as
they apparently were right. According to Campbell:
“Fede’s
going to go off and do other stuff. You know he did a great job for us and we’d
have him back again in a second, but he’s got a new movie he’s doing. We lost
him! It happens. Fede’s a great filmmaker, so … he’s going to have a long,
bright future, he doesn’t need ‘Evil Dead’ … because look, he doesn’t want to
be stuck being the ‘Evil Dead’ guy. You know, we all know how that happens.”
