Bruce Campbell teases with Ash photo for Ash vs Evil Dead series
We've seen a set photo for Starz' Ash vs. Evil Dead that featured Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell. Now Campbell has teased a photo of himself as Ash, and it's looking like we're getting the signature blue shirt and leather straps back.
The teaser photo was a response to somebody asking him, "How does it feel being back and killing the undead?"
His answer? "…groovy."

Check out the teaser here.
Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons –personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its "Evil" grip.
Joining Campbell are Lucy Lawless (Salem, Spartacus) as Ruby, Ray Santiago (Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, and Jill Marie Jones (Sleepy Hollow) as Amanda Fisher.
Raimi is directing the first episode from a script he wrote with Ivan Raimi (Darkman, Army of Darkness) and Tom Spezialy (Chuck, Reaper).
The series will have 10 half-hour episodes for the first season, and it is executive produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, the guys behind the original franchise. Craig DiGregorio will also executive produce, along with being a showrunner. It is still in production in New Zealand and will premiere on Starz in Fall 2015.
