"Sam Raimi and the original producers of The Evil Dead have confirmed that a remake of the cult horror is in the works. The news was leaked by producer Bruce Campbell earlier this week, and Ghost House Pictures has now released a statement confirming the report. Original writer and director Raimi will return as a producer on the remake, alongside Campbell and Rob Tapert. &amp;quot;We are committed to making this movie and are inspired by the enduring popularity and enthusiasm for the Evil Dead series,&amp;quot; the statement reads. &amp;quot;We can&amp;#039;t wait to scare a new generation of moviegoers using filmmaking techniques that were not available to us 30 years ago, as well as Fede [Alvarez] bringing a fresh eye to the film&amp;#039;s original elements.&amp;quot; According to Coming Soon, Raimi and Tapert were impressed by Alvarez&amp;#039;s short film Panic Attack, and have brought the young filmmaker on board to both write and direct the remake. The Evil Dead was originally released back in 1981, and follows a group of young friends who rent a remote cabin where they accidentally summon a group of demon spirits. The classic horror was followed by The Evil Dead II in 1987 and Army of Darkness in 1992. Watch the trailer for The Evil Dead below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
