Calm down, horror hounds. The Evil Dead may still rise again.

Following widespread reports that Evil Dead 2 had been cancelled, Bloody-Disgusting has confirmed through reboot director Fede Alvarez that his plans for a sequel to his remake are still moving forward.

Speaking with BD through email, Alvarez explained “stuff got lost in translation” with Sayagues in the Gorosito interview published on Wednesday. He elaborated, “Rodo meant we’re not actually making Evil Dead 2 right now because the priority is Sam’s Army of Darkness 2. But the plan of making a sequel to our Evil Dead is very much alive.”

Alvarez did not explain if he would direct the sequel or if he would be involved in another way with production, but it seems safe to declare him attached to the project from this point forward. We don’t mind waiting a bit longer for a sequel if it means Army Of Darkness 2 is made sooner, do you?
