Evil Dead: The Musical Coming to the Big Screen in 3D?!

9 September 2008 4:05 PM, PDT | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news

When will all this 3D news stop?! This is nothing more than a genuine gimmick - I guarantee that. ScreenDaily has posted an interesting article today that mentions that producer Don Carmody is trying to get the cult classic theatrical play Evil Dead: The Musical translated to the big screen in unglorious 3D. As much as I love the Evil Dead movies, this news is absolutely painful to hear about. I missed seeing Evil Dead: The Musical on stage, but I'm not dying to see a gimmicky 3D version on the big screen. It was a genius idea conceived for the stage that featured a "splatter zone" and so much more and it should stay there. As far as I know, this has nothing to do with Sam Raimi's rumored fourth Evil Dead movie anyway. Apparently the original directors of the stage version, Christopher Bond and Hinton Battle, are

In the vein of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a popular audience participation segment known as the “splatter zone” will be among the scenes of the stage-to-screen adaptation to be filmed in 3D.

Evil Dead: The Musical... Coming To Theaters?! And In 3D?! Groovy!

8 September 2008 9:45 AM, PDT | From iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news

Wow! When I caught the NY performances of Evil Dead: The Musical at the beginning of last year, I considered it to be among the best 2 hours of my life! The hysterical production managed to combine all the great elements of The Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn (with a pinch of Army Of Darkness thrown in for good measure), while simultaneously providing for memorable musical numbers and dousing the front rows with tons of fake blood! According to Screen Daily, the producers of the musical are looking to bring it to the big screen... in 3D!

The article says, "Producer Don Carmody and partners are in negotiations with Spider-man director Sam Raimi to bring to the screen the musical version of the former horror meister's Evil Dead films, Evil Dead: The Musical.

Conceived by George Reinblatt, Christopher Bond, Frank Cipolla and Melissa Morris, the camp stage
