Mega Evil Dead Movie D.O.A.

It looks like those plans to bring together the different films of The Evil Dead franchise were scrapped.

Fede Alvarez the director responsible for the release of the of the 2013 "Evil Dead" remake/reboot back in April began indicating that a script for a sequel was on the way.

He later also talked about an overall plan for the franchise which would see a sequel to the reboot, "Army of Darkness," and then a film that would unite the two takes on the material.

Now, Alvarez and his co-writer Rodo Sayagues appear to have left the project. Sayagues tells Gorosito.TV (via STYD):

"Look, I am sorry to tell you this but that movie won’t happen. Evil Dead 2 is not going to happen, at least not with us involved. We left that project many months ago because we preferred to put our energies on other things. I don’t know if the producers still have intentions of making it. But what I can tell you is that we are not part of that project."

Alvarez and Sayagues are making the sci-fi film "Machina" instead
