Evil Dead director Sam Raimi is suing to retain rights to the Evil Dead property. AWARD PICTURES had planned to make a sequel to the franchise, but Raimi and RENAISSANCE Pictures also plan to make their own sequel and the case is now in the US Courts to decide who owns the rights. It will be interesting to see how this fight turns out, and who, ultimately, will retain rights to continue the undead storyline.
For what it's worth, I hope Raimi and Renaissance retain rights and make their own sequel. It is, after all, their creation...
