‘Ash Vs Evil Dead’ Behind The Scenes Video: Shoot First, Think Never
We’ve seen a coupletrailersforAsh vs Evil Dead,now it’s time for the behind the scenes featurette. This one should do the trick; it’s a couple minutes of bland but enthusiastic quotes from Bruce Campbell, producer Robert Tapert, new co-star Lucy Lawless, and composer Joseph LoDuca, among others. It’s got some good shots of the show’s creation, and one or two good bits, including Lucy Lawless’s comment that the show is a “jolly splatter-fest!” Check out theAsh vs Evil Deadmaking-of video below.
The video comes fromStarz. It’s a puff piece, of course, and not even one with particularly interesting quotes. But if you’ve been waiting 23 years to see Sam Raimi direct Bruce Campbell in a newEvil Deadstory, that probably doesn’t matter. You want to see Campbell and Raimi on set together, and this does the trick. The fact that this footage looks pretty great certainly doesn’t hurt.
Ash vs. Evil Deadpremieres on Starz on October 31. Check out the show’s red-band trailerhere.
Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons –personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its “Evil” grip.
The cast is led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, “Burn Notice”) in the role of Ash Williams, Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Spartacus”) as Ruby a mysterious figure who believes Ash is the cause of the Evil outbreaks, Ray Santiago (“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash’s loyal sidekick, Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun her past and Jill Marie Jones (“Sleepy Hollow”) as Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan State Trooper set to find our anti-hero Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder of her partner.
