Entertainment Weekly has released more photos from the set of the upcoming Starz series ‘Ash Vs. Evil Dead’. Bruce Campbell is reprising his role as Ash, who has been avoiding growing up for thirty years, when he is forced to take on a Deadite who threatens to destroy the human race. Lucy Lawless (Spartacus), Jill Marie Jones, Ray Santiago (Meet The Fockers)and Dana DeLorenzo (Sleepy Hollow) are also cast in the 10 episode half-hour series.
The first photo shows Ash and his new sidekick Pablo (Ray Santiago) in Ash’s Car “the Classic” from the original trilogy, after a battle. Campbell says “Sam’s original Delta is back. I’m talking the ’73 Delta 88. The Classic is back! I’ve driven it. I did a William Shatner power-slide in that car. That’s the only spoiler I’m gonna give you: that Ash and that car — we can power-slide. I met William Shatner on the convention circuit, and I talked about T.J. Hooker. He talked to me about how he power-slides those cars in T.J. Hooker. So I took Shatner’s advice, and I used that advice to do a T.J. Hooker combo-platter — with the Classic — power-slide.”
In the second photo, we see Ash in the throes of battle. Campbell says “There’s going to be a lot of the classic, over-the-top, in-your-face fullness, with a pretty trash-talking Ash. In a TV series, people gotta talk, so Ash will have more dialogue than he’s pretty much ever had. There’s a pretty high count of Ash’s classic one-liners. They’re back, and they’ye strong, and they’re flourishing!”
