Sam Raimi will direct Army of Darkness 2!!!!

To quote Kim Jong Il from Team America: World Police, this was inevitable.

Fede Alvarez, who recently directed the Evil Dead remake, responded to a Twitter question the other day as to the chances of of him directing Army of Darkness 2.  Alvarez promptly dropped the bomb that Sam Raimi, the director of the original Evil Dead films, would in fact be directing Army of Darkness 2.

That's news to make a Deadite cry.

Now granted the source comes from Twitter so take that for what's worth, but at least this is moving in the right direction.  If you're going to do a sequel to Army of Darkness, you HAVE to have Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi involved. 

Let's hope that the IMDB page stating that Army of Darkness 2 will hit theaters in 2016 is accurate.
