The Remaking of Evil Dead: A Journey to Hell and Back

In February, news broke that actress Jane Levy would be taking over the lead role in the upcoming remake of The Evil Dead. This announcement came after Lily Collins dropped out of the role in January 2012. The remake, produced by Ghost House Pictures, marks a new chapter in the franchise's history with Diablo Cody revising the script and Fede Alvarez at the helm as director.

When asked about the release date and details of the film, Alvarez remained tight-lipped, stating that the team was busy with other projects. However, he did express his enthusiasm for the remake, declaring, 'The remake's gonna kick ass – you have my word.' Bruce Campbell, a longtime fan favorite in the franchise, also expressed his interest in reprising his role as Ash Williams, potentially playing the milkman.

In April 2011, Campbell himself confirmed that a new Evil Dead film was in the works during an Ask Me Anything interview on Reddit. The cast for the remake includes Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, and Elizabeth Blackmore, with Bruce Campbell making a brief cameo appearance after the credits.

Directed by Fede Alvarez and produced by Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Rob Tapert, Evil Dead 2013 serves as a soft reboot of the original franchise. Loosely based on the first film in the series, it also acts as a sequel to the original trilogy, making it the fourth installment overall.

The film's budget was reported to be around $97.5 million, indicating a significant investment from the production team. With its unique blend of horror and dark humor, Evil Dead 2013 promises to deliver a thrilling experience for fans of the franchise. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to the series, this remake is sure to take you on a wild ride to hell and back.
