Starz has released the first
teaser and poster for the upcoming Ash vs Evil Dead, which continues the horror
saga director Sam Raimi first created in 1981. There isn't any footage since
principal photography hasn't yet began.
Produced by Raimi, Bruce
Campbell, and Rob Tapert, Ash vs Evil Dead will once again see Campbell return
to his iconic role, though this time the chainsaw-handed monster
hunter reluctantly returns to hero work after spending the last 30 years
avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead.
The 10-episode series will
premiere in late 2015 and will also star Lucy Lawless, Jill Marie Jones, Ray
Santiago, and Dana DeLorenzo.
Raimi directs the first
episode, which he co-wrote with Ivan Raimi, Tom Spezialy, and Craig DiGregorio,
who will act as the series showrunner.
Campbell will be reprising
his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster
hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and
the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy
all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons –personal and
literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero
from its “Evil” grip.
The cast is led by Bruce
Campbell (Evil Dead, “Burn Notice”) in the role of Ash
Williams, Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Spartacus”) as Ruby a mysterious figure who
believes Ash is the cause of the Evil outbreaks, Jill Marie Jones (“Sleepy Hollow”) as
Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan State Trooper set to find our anti-hero Ash
and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder of her partner, Ray Santiago
(“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) as
Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash’s loyal sidekick
and Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D
Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun
her past.
