PROJECT DETAILS:
Producer Rob Tapert had an interview where he revealed some details on the project. Specifically, he details that the movie is set in 1972, saying: "This is yet another great departure. It predates everything. It takes place in 1972." Adding..."It will feel like a 1972 movie because the director and his DP want to imitate the film’s look and feel of something that’s called Ektachrome 100, which was a film stock. Still available, but a film stock. A lot of movies [were] shot on that then. And so it’s very warm, very tungsten." He also briefly talks about the contrast between the director of Evil Dead Burn Sébastien Vaniček and this director Francis Galluppi: "So, but once again, now, two entirely different filmmakers, one that shoots everything on a 110-millimeter lens handheld, always moving, always shaking, and the other one is very Tarantino-esque, very deliberate." Lastly, he reveals that this movie may eventually run into issues with the MPAA, saying: "[Evil Dead Wrath], unlike Burn, has a lot of coming-of-age sexual hijinks in it, which the Evil Dead universe is not really known for, but this one does. And it goes there… I think – it’s going to be the one since the first Evil Dead movie that may have the most difficulty with the MPAA." (6/17/26)
The studio has confirmed the film's new title and revealed that production has officially begun on the film. (2/22/26)
The film is rumored to be titled Evil Dead Wrath with filming reportedly set to begin next month in Auckland, New Zealand (where Evil Dead Burn was also filmed). (2/12/26)
Producer Sam Raimi was quoted saying: "Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence. He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut."
It's said that this is an "original story that Galluppi developed and brought to Raimi and team."
Written/directed by Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County).
This movie is part of producer Sam Raimi's plan to let hot new filmmakers deliver their own unique takes from the Evil Dead universe, which started with 2013's Evil Dead from Fede Alvarez (Don't Breathe) and was most recently followed by 2023's Evil Dead Rise from Lee Cronin (The Hole in the Ground).
This is another spin-off set in the Evil Dead universe. The previous spin-off was announced earlier in the year and will be written and directed by French helmer Sébastien Vanicek (Infested).
