Renaissance Pictures is an American film production company. Founded by director Sam Raimi, producer Rob Tapert and actor Bruce Campbell, with help from publicist Irvin Shapiro, in the late 1970s to produce their film The Evil Dead, which, along with its sequels Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness, are group's best known efforts. Renaissance has produced a large amount of the films that involved the three founders, as well as those made by other entertainment professionals connected with them, including the Joel and Ethan Coen written Crimewave and Josh Becker's Thou Shalt Not Kill... Except. Later efforts include the television series' Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, both of which featured Campbell in various capacities, as well as Raimi's brother Ted as fan-favorite character Joxer.
