‘Evil Dead’ Icon Bruce Campbell Says Animated Version In Development
deadline.comBruce Campbell announced his live-action retirement from the Ash Williams role after the cancellation of Ash vs Evil Dead in 2015.
Now, while promoting his latest Peacock series, Hysteria, Campbell revealed news of his next project as Williams. “We are developing an animated version, like a series,” he said to Entertainment Weekly. “I’ll do that.
I’ll do Ash’s voice all day long because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have.” The actor said that the series relies on the strength of the premise. “We’re out of the cabin, Sam [Raimi] doesn’t have to direct, I don’t have to star as Ash,” Campbell said. “The trick is to take the elements that people like, which is innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity, and it’s people who have no skills to stop it.” Meanwhile, Hysteria — created by Matthew Scott Kane — also stars Julie Bowen, Anna Camp, Emjay Anthony, Chiara Aurelia, Kezii Curtis, Nikki Hahn, Garret Dillahunt, Nolan North, Elijah Richardson, Milly Shapiro, Allison Scagliotti and Jessica Treska.
