Evil Dead Rise’s Director Explains Unearthing One of Army of Darkness’ Necronomicons

The future looks deader than ever after Evil Dead Rise’s successful opening weekend. Director Lee Cronin stopped by IGN to explain how a key scene from 1992’s Army of Darkness not only served as inspiration for how Rise could stand on its own, but for how to explain future spinoffs in the series. Plus, Cronin teases his conversations with Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi, which point to the potential of a team-up film between Ash Williams, the 2013 reboot’s Mia, and the surviving characters of Evil Dead Rise. #IGN
