Raimi-Approved "Evil Dead" Remake FINALLY Happening?

Somewhere between the post-production of "Spider-Man 2" and the clusterfuck of shenanigans surrounding "Spider-Man 4;" something seemed to have gone vaugely "awry" with Sam Raimi. Longtime collaborator Danny Elfman claimed they'd had a major falling-out, and on the business side his innability to make a project come-together was approaching that of Guillermo del Toro.

Recently, though, things appear to have turned a corner. The rift with Elfman has apparently been healed, his "Oz: The Great and Powerful" feature is looking like it could beat the inexplicable glut of upcoming "Wizard of Oz" alterna-takes to the screen, and now Bloody Disgusting reports that the long-promise "official" reboot of "Evil Dead" is on the way...
