Production on Ash vs. Evil Dead is a meager
couple of months away to begin in New Zealand and excitement never been so high
for the announced 10-episode series.
Speaking to Dread Central star Bruce
Campbell revealed that he's "bringing everything to the table. It’s a
feisty version of Ash, who’s grizzled and just wants to be left alone."
The actor also adds that will be "introduced to a nomadic Ash, a figure who’s not only
haunted by traumatic memories but also terrorized by the unwelcome continuance
of Deadite attacks, which have followed him to the myriad Midwestern trailer
parks he’s been forced to call home. In an effort to eke out an existence and
in keeping with his previous choice of career, the character spends his days
working at Ted’s Superclub as a stock room trainee and, in true Ash fashion,
his evenings chasing skirt in roadside bars."
But Ash is not alone. The series will
introduce us to a whole new array of characters like the "idealistic
immigrant Pablo Simon Bolivar” played by Ray Santiago, or Dana DeLorenzo,
who is playing "Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun her
past." They will have their "own series of missions," added
Campbell, who goes on to say that the writers have crafter an "epic
tale" and they "are planning for five seasons."
Due to the nature of the show it's easy to start making comparisons
between it and The Walking Dead.
"We are competitive with ‘The
Walking Dead,’ like, ‘We’ll show those f**kers!’ [Our] Deadites are very
clever," Campbell explained. "They not stupid shufflers. They can
mimic people; they can drive cars. They’re a fun threat. They [‘The Walking
Dead’] are right up there [though] with being responsible for the current
resurgence [of horror]."
