I think it’s up to you to decide when and how the events of the other movies happen.” I love a lot of things about that movie - it’s so wacky and of its time. When movies do that, sometimes it feels a bit disrespectful to all the other films. He also clarifies that this new entry does not exactly ignore al previous sequels, explaining, “When I say ‘direct sequel’ I wouldn’t say it skips everything. Everything is set up in the right place - all you have to do is push the first domino and everything will happen effortlessly.” We wanted to come up with a very simple premise a powerful domino effect. But at the same time it has the simplicity of that first film. Me and Rodo really wanted to make sure we don’t disappoint the fans, and we are. On the film itself, the producer continues, “It felt familiar somehow because it took us back to when I did Evil Dead. These people arriving in this town are going to awaken the giant.” He’s been in hiding for a long, long time, trying to be a good person. This story will pick it up many, many years after the original story. You know, how do you catch a guy who has a mask? Once he removes the mask and runs away, it’s very easy for him to hide somewhere. Our take on it was this guy probably disappeared after everything he’s done. “It’s basically the same character, who is still alive. When showed up, we definitely felt like, ‘This is the guy.’ He had all the physicality we needed from him on camera. If Gunnar had been alive, I’m pretty sure he would have played, so we were trying to find someone that could have been Gunnar today.
