Sam Raimi developing Afghanistan set thriller, The Outpost

Deadline reports that Sam Raimi will produce and possibly direct an adaptation of the book The Outpost: An Untold Story Of American Valor. The story is similar to the recent movie Lone Survivor in that it involves impossible odds, detailing a true-life siege upon American Combat Outpost Keating in Kamdesh, Eastern Afghanistan. Reportedly there were 400 Taliban warriors on the attack against only 53 American soldiers. The result was a day-long firefight that resulted in America's survival and the awarding of two Medals of Honor, the first time multiple awards were given to two soldiers for the same battle since 1963.

This report most likely puts an end to the stories of a possible Evil Dead 4. Raimi's last movie was Oz the Great and Powerful which wasn't a particularly great movie but made a heap of cash at the box office bringing in a impressive $493million— which will no doubt benefit Raimi's stance with investors.
