[[Film/EvilDead2013 A remake of the first movie]] and an official reboot of the franchise was released in April 2013 (although it supposedly takes place in the same universe as the original series); Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Bruce Campbell are producers, while Creator/DiabloCody revised the script.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first film is straight up low-budget horror. The rest of the franchise leans far more heavily on comedy, with Army of Darkness being straight up parody. Also, the first film has Ash keep his hand throughout the entire movie, never cracks a joke, is more of an {{Adorkable}} goof with one girlfriend than an actual ladies' man, and is a nervous wreck the entire time who isn't much of a fighter until the very end. The second and third movie gradually turns him into the womanizing, wise-cracking, deadite killer we all know and love.
