Bruce Campbell, who played Ash in Sam Raimi’s horror classic “The Evil Dead,” “Evil Dead II” and “Army of Darkness” — and who executive produced the first and co-produced the second and third films — confirmed a new project via Twitter.

“Believe in the remake, dawg!” he wrote. “The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell.”

He wrote the tweet in response to a Twitter posting from a fan.

Raimi will write and produce the next “Evil Dead.” He won’t direct.

That will fall to Fede Alvarez, a filmmaker from Uruguay who has a deal with Raimi’s company, Ghost House Pictures.

The entire franchise has grossed a total of only $19.8 million at the box office, and the first grossed a meager $2.4 million.

The most recent film in the franchise, 1992′s “Army of Darkness,” grossed $11.5 million.
