In today’s first bit of funny news, Screen Daily reports that producer Don Carmody is in negotiations with Sam Raimi to adapt stage play Evil Dead: The Musical into a 3D movie.

Originally a camp stage interpretation of the legendary horror movie, the play has gone on to shows in Broadway. It was conceived by George Reinblatt, Christopher Bond, Frank Cipolla and Melissa Morris.

The 3D film will be co-directed by Bond and Hinton Battle, with the duo expecting to shoot by next Spring with some of the original cast.
