07/19 Remake Update: EVIL DEAD


As we all very well know by now, a new "Evil Dead" movie is on it's way and will be helmed by unknown director Federico Alvarez. But will it be a remake or sequel? Well recently Fede Alvarez caught up with the Spanish site Elpais.com and revealed quite a lot as to where the film was heading and what to expect. You can check out some excerpts below but most of it was translated so hopefully it all makes sense:

"We realize the mistakes not to make. As fans of the original we know we are going to offend those who are also fans and what will not bother you, but we can not make a movie just for them."

Regarding casting for the film Alvarez states: "Nobody wants to see a celebrity in a remake like this," He goes on to say that the only recognisable face in the film will be Bruce Campbell, but, it will be a cameo towards the end.

Alvarez’s opportunity came this past February when he presented Sam Raimi with a script which detailed a remake of "The Evil Dead", a film that focused more on terrorizing than on humor and with noticeable digital effects.

Alvarez mentions that shooting will take place this Summer in Uruguay and Sam Raimi will act as producer on the upcoming movie.
