Confirmed by none other than the original Ash himself, Bruce Campbell (via Twitter), is the news that the cult horror classic Evil Dead is being remade.
As a major (Evil Dead) Fanboy all I have to say is “NOOOOOOO! It can’t be true!”
While Sam Raimi and Bob Murawski, director and editor of the original film respectively, will be teaming up once again for this project, it comes as no surprise that the role of everyone’s favorite S-Mart employee will be played by an as-of-now unnamed actor. Given that this is a Raimi production, of course Campbell will be included in a cameo role (possibly as the milk man), but it hurts to find someone else will be fighting Deadites instead of Bruce. Compared to the original, the best rating I could see this ever getting out of the fanbase is a “Meh. It’s passable.”, but at least the original creative team is behind it.

FIY, it’s role not roll. A roll is a long round object like a sushi roll, a role is something you play.
@Riceball
It’s actually kind of funny you point out a grammatical error in this article because you made one yourself. It’s ‘FYI’ not ‘FIY’. Practice what you preach.
Oops, typo. Still, a typo is different than using roll instead of role.
