It's been four days since we had our last "The Hobbit" dwarves reveal, and in our opinion that is much, much too long.

The latest "Hobbit" photo comes at us from MSN and is of dwarf brothers Fili (Dean O'Gorman) and Kili (Aiden Turner). That means seven of the 13 dwarves have been shown to us, and we're guessing we're going to be seeing the final six revealed over the next couple of weeks. Just don't leave us waiting this long next time!

In the news after the jump, Johnny Depp adds three new projects to his slate, a remake of "Evil Dead" gains traction and new posters arrive for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "50/50."

Sam RaimiWith Halloween upon us once again, the thoughts of a loyal fanbase are returning to Ash and his adventures with the Book of the Dead. And as many of them remember, legendary director Sam Raimi was walking around Comic-Con a few months ago telling us and the massive audience in Hall H that when his brother Ivan was coming to visit in August, they had plans to finally sit down and write a fourth “Evil Dead” flick. Even star Bruce Campbell got in the action, promising the film wouldn't rely on a younger sidekick, a la "Indiana Jones" and "Die Hard."

So, whatever happened with that, Sam?

“We never did it,” Raimi admitted when we checked in with him on the project recently. “There was too much work to do on ‘Drag Me to Hell.’

Raimi is referring to the Justin Long-starring flick that will return him to his horror roots next May, and which he also co-wrote with brother Ivan. The flick is a cool-sounding tale of a young woman (Alison Lohman) who finds herself cursed, but it most certainly will not involve Bruce Campbell, raping trees, or those beloved “Evil Cam” shots.

Bruce CampbellTwo weeks ago, director Sam Raimi shocked Comic-Con with a declaration that "Evil Dead" would rise again. So when can we start salivating with anticipation?

"When he's ready, I'm ready," star Bruce Campbell told MTV News.

While nothing remains written or planned, Campbell and Raimi have actually discussed the long-anticipated movie at length, the man with the million dollar chin insisted, saying that they already have a basic idea of where to take Ash, the poor S-Mart clerk who's already narrowly survived three adventures - the last of which, "Army of Darkness," got released in 1992.

Part of that plan, naturally, involves accounting for the fact that the last "Evil Dead" movie got released in 1992. Read More...
