Out in San Diego to premiere footage from his upcoming OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, Sam Raimi spoke a bit about the remake.

MTV sat down with the creator of EVIL DEAD, who's also producing Fede Alvarez's retread, and when asked if he feels this update is honoring the original, he explains, "As for whether he sees the new film as honoring his original, Raimi said he doesn't approach it that way. "I don't think about it like that. I just think Fede Alvarez has really made a great horror movie," he said. "It's scary. The actors are great in it. It's really gut-wrenching, real low budget and intense."

It's brief, and hard to imagine he'd say anything other than supportive comments, but hopefully he's also right. 

EVIL DEAD is expected out April 12, 2013
