Horror fans have been losing their minds for the past day following word from DreadCentral that Sam Raimi had secretly traveled to Detroit in order to begin making something related to Evil Dead. Bloody-Disgusting took the story further a few hours later, claiming Raimi probably wasn’t the director, but still left most hanging in excitement.

Well hang no more because we have the answers! Word is, Raimi DID go to Detroit for what is being called “quasi-reboot” of the Bruce Campbell lead Evil Dead series and production is (apparently) already underway. Directing the feature will be Freddy Alvarez, the director behind the mind-blowing 2009 sci-fi short Panic Attack!. You can view the short below.

We still have no confirmation on Bruce Campbell’s participation in the series, if any. Hard to believe he or Raimi would let anyone else be Ash, but you never know.

UPDATE:
According to Bruce Campbell’s official website, BruceCampbell.com, Bruce officially joined Twitter over the weekend (follow @GroovyBruce). On his Twitter site Bruce was questioned by a fan who stated, “I won’t believe in a new Evil Dead film until I see it. Or at least not until @GroovyBruce tells me to believe in it,” to which Campbell responded, “Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell.”

We will keep you updated as this story develops.
