This.
And not just Campbell, but the whole team: Campbell, Tapert and the Raimis.
For Star Wars to work it had to be epic - for this to work it has to be fun. All they have to do is stay true to the sensibility of the original films. With Star Wars, Lucas got to do whatever he wanted - nobody to rein him in and say, George, dude, wtf? The entire endeavour serviced one man's vision - and it just wasn't as good as the vision he'd had when he was younger and the world of cinema simpler.
The Evil Dead team have sensibly brought in a showrunner.
This will be different from the original films - because we're dropping in on Ash some 30 years later, and because it's a a series of 10 half hour episodes, but it should be fun.
Having watched the Comic Con panel, I am dying to see their new blood kegger effects in action.
