But on the upside, he's found a great niche for himself as a character actor and his gig on Burn Notice has been a long running one with no immediate end in sight.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-40391896575216318952011-07-25T14:10:33.314-07:002011-07-25T14:10:33.314-07:00Thanks for the update.

I always think Campbell should have been a star but never got the chance, but yes he is too old now to play a star of this. I could see him having a cameo and get killed off (but as someone else). Good blog, I look forward to visiting more often.Mummbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12675168593734745284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-20438165852931925912011-07-16T12:17:50.320-07:002011-07-16T12:17:50.320-07:00I'm hoping they go with pretty much all unknow...I'm hoping they go with pretty much all unknowns across the board. This is a movie that doesn't need star power. If anything, having recognizable actors would work against it.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-61359576448994497142011-07-16T11:02:08.796-07:002011-07-16T11:02:08.796-07:00Not to mention the video game sequels some of whic...Not to mention the video game sequels some of which Campbell has voiced himself, which were entertaining in their own right. Yeah, I think a remake is probably the right way to go and so far it seems like Raimi and co. are going about things in the right way, hopefully staying away from the WB casting stable that the Platinum Dunes remakes continually draw from.<br /><br />It should be interesting to see who is finally cast in this film.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-62050732134241493052011-07-16T09:37:48.199-07:002011-07-16T09:37:48.199-07:00I read that there will be no Ash in the film, that...I read that there will be no Ash in the film, that Raimi and co. believe that Campbell owns the role and that they wouldn't recast it. If true, I think that's a good way to go. Having someone step directly into Campbell's shoes doesn't sound like a winning idea to me. I hope that they just dispense with the notion of a wise-cracking lead altogether. <br /><br />As for an aging Ash still battling Deadites, I agree that there's some good possibilities there but comic books have been continuing the story of Ash for awhile and that seems to be a good way to keep that end of the franchise alive without Campbell having to continue the role on film.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-65380022194781692892011-07-16T08:47:23.618-07:002011-07-16T08:47:23.618-07:00I'm mostly with you on Campbell and not needin...I'm mostly with you on Campbell and not needing to reprise the role. However, if done right, it could be very interesting and entertaining seeing an aging Ash be forced to deal with the soul swallowing forces of the Evil Dead. Something about that idea strikes me as funny.<br /><br />I'm cool with a remake, though, I am not so hot on Cody, whose dialogue is incredibly hit or miss, and when it's a miss, it's in the most forced sort of ways. Still, I don't think she'll have much bearing on the final product anyways.<br /><br />My question is who plays Ash now? I loved the idea of the Sean William Scott rumor as I think his is one of the funniest comedic actors working, but like you, I would like to see a serious version of the film, and he might not be the right fit in that situation.Matt-suzakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16215962688591291944noreply@blogger.com
