I've put together something that some of you might enjoy - an Ash vs Evil Dead fanedit, with the objective of making a feature-length (2 hour) sequel to Army of Darkness. The main plot takes advantage of the Knights of Sumeria plotline in Season 3, but there are scenes and dialogue lifted from Seasons 1 and 2 to restructure the narrative. This edit is entirely focused on continuing the Army of Darkness story, and it ignores much of what happens in Ash vs Evil Dead (no cabin revisits, for example).
Here is my plot summary:
In this sequel to Army of Darkness, our bumbling hero Ash Williams has enjoyed 25 years of local celebrity in his hometown of Elk Grove, Michigan. For hundreds of years, the evil demon Ruby has wandered the Earth, searching for the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis. When a drug-fueled mistake results in a passage from the Necronomicon being read aloud, Ruby's plan is set into motion and the forces of evil return to our world to destroy mankind. It is up to Ash, his trusty sidekick Pablo, and the descendants of his long-lost knightly companions to send evil back to Hell one last time.
The reason for making this edit is that (like some of you) I was generally disappointed with the direction taken in Ash vs Evil Dead. I wanted an Army of Darkness sequel: similar in tone and continuing that story. As I watched the show, I made notes of what I felt were the most "Army of Darkness" scenes and dialogue. These notes were my guide for what to include and what to cut. With the (perfect, imo) ending of Season 3 I knew we had what was needed for an Army of Darkness sequel.
The video and audio are sourced from Bluray (1080p x264, AC3 audio). I have edited with 5.1 audio intact. I have reworked the (English) subtitles. I have added chapter markers and names. In the flashback sequence at 59:33 I have substituted an Army of Darkness scene (also sourced from Bluray). There is a new title reveal at 00:43, which I have also carried over to my modifications of the poster and banner (originally from Season 3). I have edited the credits as well.
Aside from those changes above, the rest is just creative editing, dialogue removal/replacement, some cropping, screen-flipping, etc. It worked out better than I had hoped. As far as I am concerned, this is Evil Dead 4. I've submitted this edit for inclusion in the IFDB (but that might take a while).
I can't post the magnet link to my torrent here. Click through to my profile or send me a PM if you'd like to see the edit.
