Just wanted to keep everyone up to speed with the upcoming remake to Evil Dead. Currently word is that filming is aimed to begin March 2012 in New Zealand, with Federico Alvarez making his feature film directorial debut.
Right now Shiloh Fernandez (Deadgirl and Red Riding Hood) and Jane Levy (Suburgatory, Shameless) are the only confirmed cast members, but Lou Taylor Pucci (Thumbsucker, The Chumscrubber, Carriers) is in talks.
Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi are producing. There's a rumor that Bruce may have a brief cameo in it at one point. There will no "Ash" character this time 'round and it's said that this will be "very dark" and "scary." We can also expect to see a return of the "evil trees".Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead and unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.
Anyway, you can read TONS more info on the project at UHM's page for it: http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/movie/evil-dead
I'm more curious than anything about this remake. I know it obviously won't top the original, but I'd like to see how today's modern effects translate into this age-old story. Hopefully they don't overuse the CG.
