Hmm, looks like it's a lodge versus a cabin this time out.
(Or are they partially deconstructing Brock's house for the finale?)

...Ash has two hands.
...Did he erase the past again?
Is this another "bad Ash"?
Is that Brock's house or is this yet another alternate cabin?
...Is Bruce just posing without his glove prop on?
If it's the former - ugh come on Rob, stop going back to the same well! Army of Darkness is a part of the franchise - look at that and be bolder! Let Ash go into space or back to the wild west or to the stone ages or into the French Revolution! ANYTHING. Have him kill Deadites in Hollywood or have him kill them in Mexico or Canada or England. The dearth of imagination here is starting to get super disappointing. "Let's go back to the happy cabin" shouldn't be a drinking game or a repetitive joke.

Yes! Thank you! I agree completely. I already said that my ideal concept for the show would be to have each season take place in a different setting/time period. Go post-apocalyptic for a season. Go wild west for another. Maybe even go back to that time when the seas ran red with blood and show the dark ones and that damn book being created. Go to the kandarian hell or whatever dimension those things come from for a couple of episodes. Be inventive. Be bold. Stop trying to remake the first two films over and over again.
But when it comes to what's actually being shown in that picture, I think your last guess is probably the correct one... I think it's just a production promo picture and we shouldn't be trying to find clues for specific story details in it.

Yeah i agree with DYD, that photo was probably taken before filming started that day or it was between takes and they were on break so bruce probably didn't have his glove on and was just posing on set. If i had to take a guess it's probably some lodge thats in town or something and not a different version of the original cabin, i think we should wait on the guessing game just a hair bit more since we haven't got a clue of what there planning for the 3rd season nor the main basic plot outline yet as well.

Yeah, I wouldn't be shocked if it's just because they're post or between takes. If they're not though, it could be some kind of plot development. We've already seen him with two hands after all!
@Joe - your note made me realize that we really don't even have a plot summary yet and it's almost July. We usually get a first look trailer somewhere around mid/early July but I'm surprised we don't even have a sketch of an outline beyond Bruce saying that it's about why Ash's been selected to battle the Deadites. Then again we haven't had many casting notices - by this time last year we knew about Baal and about the casting of Lacey.

In all honesty i'm enjoying the fact that they haven't given us anything yet and are keeping things top secret for this season, i wonder if they have doubled back on the sneak peeks this year in general and are keeping things locked down until comic con to reveal stuff. (I wonder if the secrecy isn't due in part to the new showrunner running things a little differently then the way craig ran it)

Here's the cast and crew photo from this year's season ! ( HINT : There's several jokes hidden through out the photo)

Hah!!
I see two Pablos and multiple people flipping off the camera while fooling around with chainsaws.
This is a little bit later than they wrapped last year. Wonder if that'll effect when it gets released.
Also I think I saw an Autolycus?

On the right, is that a stunt double or a young Ash stand in?

If you look closely, there's another one in the upper left corner, so probably stunt doubles. Also, I'm having trouble figuring out which of the two Pablos is a cardboard cutout (there are a couple in the picture). They both look like Ray Santiago and they both look real, which is very eerie.

I was kinda hesitant on posting this cause we know how bruce is with interviews and likes to hype stuff up BUUUTTT, i figured it would be worth the listen as bruce gives us some major hints as to whats to come.
*WARNING, MAJOR SPOILERS ?? in this interview*

So, it looks like they will be pulling the trigger this season on the ash's daughter idea BUT, not in the way Craig originally had in mind and we could be heading in a more sensible direction with it which is music to my ears somewhat so i'm wondering if that casting news we got a while back isn't actually ash's daughter as her description perfectly describes the person bruce is talking about in the video and there hailing her as being a series regular as well.
If this is the case, then this could be a very interesting character arc for ash and maybe we'll see him mature more this season AND WHAT IF, this wasn't the secret brock wasn't talking to ash about HMMM....
and i also couldn't help but laugh at bruce calling pablo and kelly the adults ahaha.
and the way bruce is talking we could be looking at a another cliffhanger ending that could mean we could be heading in the post apocalyptic direction for the main story and this season will be setting all that up and season 4 will be the middle of it, and if we get to season 5 will be the ending, almost like a trilogy in way !

@DYD - My best guess is that they shopped in Ray.
RE the spoilers:
Also it looks like Bruce isn't doing the San Diego Comic Con and is doing NY's instead?
RE the spoilers:
My question is, why the hell the big pants-wetting panic and pandemonium that resulted in the plot shuffle dance if we're just pulling the trigger on Craig's plot in a different way? I'm glad they're not randomly jamming Kelly into the role instead and ruining two seasons of her development, but the easy "Ash protects his wild yet neophyte teenage daughter while trying to raise her even though oops! He's still a manchild!" plot is not my idea of an upgrade. In fact, it feels like they're doubling down on the sitcom aspect of the show, which is hilarious because apparently Rob hated that?
We already have way too many characters for a half hour sitcom, between Linda, Ruby, Pablo, Kelly and now this teenager and presumably her friends. I'd've much rather more Pablo and Kelly or Ruby development instead of them adding ANOTHER teenager to the cast after the under-developed disaster that was Lacey last season.

I'm gonna wait and hold my judgement/opinion until i see this character in action and see what the rest of the plot is going to be before i go and start criticizing it cause bruce tends to water things down to its bare bones in these interviews plus he looked pretty bushed and tired. I'm willing to give it a shot and see how it plays out, if it get's too sitcomy i'll probably end up not liking it and the character, we'll see how it pans out i'm just cautiously optimistic about it is all, i'm just relieved to hear that kelly will not be filling that role thank god, i'll take anything else then what craig had mind in general.
As for comic con, i'm going to take a guess and say they are probably skipping san diego this year and are probably just doing NY comic con, we'll see what happens as it should be about time for them to start rolling out info and footage for the show. (I wonder if bruce's book tour didn't play a part in them not being at SD this year or the now cancelled reality show he was planning to film in july/august)

I share Maids opinion. But overall I am more interested in the new direction the show will take under Rob's reign. What do you guys expect? A real tonal shift? Or will they just neglect the needless raunchy stuff (like the morgue scene)? As a kinky German I have no problems with undead nudes and body fluids. But I just hope the show will lean a little bit more to the horror side of the whole deal.

Eh, that tends to be how Bruce looks when he has to go down a press line.
I'm willing to say that they could make this idea interesting for me, but three seasons in it feels like they're looking for some kind of hook to draw in the youth market they keep marketing the show to yet keep failing to reach. Like, why this? Why not go with the original 'why is Ash Chosen' idea?
I'm interested in seeing how highly powered the girl will be. If she didn't inherit any of Ash's chosen-one-ness, then she's going to be another inexperienced damsel for him to rescue. The way Bruce described the role almost makes her sound like she's Dawn from Buffy; added later in the show, rebels against the main cast and likely gets herself into trouble because she is a Rebellious Teenager. She has the potential to be the series Scrappy and she has the potential to be another of the underdeveloped Badass Women that's filled up the show's ranks but have not fully distinguished from one another (seriously: Ruby is painfully underdeveloped at this point for a character as important as she is, I doubt Linda will ever be really developed either. Kelly's the only one who's really escaped this curse but they still have her behavior wiggle around erratically depending on what the plot needs).

@Muzzlehatch - I was expecting them to take a turn toward something much more serious than the plot wants to do, apparently. It looks like nothing's going to really change that much, but we're far out from having a full plot outline.

I wonder if Starz will do any SDCC roll-out at all for the show? I imagine that they should do something. Looks like they'll be doing the usual Paleyfest/episode one debut that happened last year.

Yeah this has been rather weird. Not a single peep and ComicCon is less then 2 weeks away. Problem is that NY Comic Con is in mid-October and the show's second season aired on October 2nd. Unless there is a massive delay in when the show airs, it seems weird that we won't get any information or footage well before that date since in theory the third season would be already airing.
I also hope this isn't an indication that Starz is looking to cancel the series and therefore won't be putting any marketing effort into season 3 at all or very little. Sure not looking good.
