Director Fede Alvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues have left The Evil Dead 2.
"I am sorry to tell you this but that movie won't happen," Sayagues told Gorosito.tv.
"Evil Dead 2 is not going to happen, at least not with us involved. We left that project many months ago because we preferred to put our energies on other things.
"I don't know if the producers still have intentions of making it. But what I can tell you is that we are not part of that project."
There's been no word from the studio that the project has been officially cancelled, so at this point we can only assume that the project will ndeed go ahead without them.
To add to the confusion about the state of the reboot franchise, Sam Raimi has recently confirmed that the original Evil Dead movies are to continue with the upcoming fourth entry Army Of Darkness 2. Bruce Campbell is signed on to return as Ash.
Alvarez had previously hinted that Ash and reboot-lead-character Mia could team up at a future point in time.
Eh, the second Evil Dead movie was pretty much a reboot of the first anyway, so if two separate continuities of a series could ever meet it would be in the Evil Dead franchise.
