Filmmaker Fede Álvarez continues his tradition of celebrating the anniversary of the theatrical release of his Evil Dead reboot, this time by revealing an ending that replicates the fate of Bruce Campbell’s Ash Williams from the first film. While he initially just revealed that he had developed such an ending, he then went on to share the footage of the possible ending, which only lasted for a few seconds. He also showed off a collection of Polaroids he took from the film’s production that had previously never been seen. You can check out the alternate ending in his tweet below.
Here it is. This is what was written originally. But Sam Raimi (wisely) pointed out “after everything she’s been through, she deserves to live” so I rewrote it to the actual ending. (@jcolburnlevy let out one of her best screams in the movie on this take) #EvilDead9years pic.twitter.com/q0PFWCT7Pw
