Evil Dead (2013)

[Rodrigo90]

Jane Levy and Emma Stone are like the same person!

Who would you say is the better actress?
Cause Jane is very impressive in that trailer, I'm in awe of her acting.

 

[Octoberist]

I don't know because Levy just started out in the biz, and yeah, she was very convincing in the trailer. And on TV, she's very legit.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing more of her, she's very versatile.

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah, and we need more legit stars. That's why I'm happy for Jennifer Lawrence. Someone who can draw in a crowd, and who is very talented.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Definitely. The old legends of Hollywood are being relegated to TV roles and mediocre movies...Al Pacino - Jack and Jill

We need fresh blood desperately. And I'm so glad the likes Jane Levy and Jennifer Lawrence are around for the future.

 

[DACrowe]

Wow - you have nerves of steel my friend.

Not really. I just know the brand is about over the top gore. This trailer promises it and looks like it may be as funny as the original movie.

 

[Rodrigo90]

The original is funny to you!?

2 and 3 have comedy...the first is only funny for it's corniness of today's standards. Imagine seeing it back then!

 

[DACrowe]

It is a campy horror movie. it wants to scare you, but it also makes you laugh because it is so silly.

Also, we may as well rename this thread The Evil Dead - 2013 or something.

Sam is the king of cheese
But I feel they attempted to make it as scary as they could with the budget and actors they had, all straight from college.

Sure, we look at it and laugh for how cheesy it looks nowadays, but back in those days it was horrific for people to get it banned!

This one may be just as cheesy, but they're attempting to make it as genuinely disturbing as the initial idea from the original, more so even.
Listen to Levy when she's being molested by the trees...that's a scream of terror and pain. That's pretty disturbing compared to Ellen Sandweiss' moaning!

 

[Spideyfan93]

Movie looks insane.

And I might have a new crush...Jane Levy is sexy. Not in this movie, but she does remind me of Emma Stone a lot too like someone above noted too. By this new trailer, she seems to have acting chops and guts! Like, she seems so incredibly creepy as a demon. Hopefully, if this is successful...she will blow up.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I'm with you on that

It is a horror movie, but it is also a very dark comedy. Sam has a twisted sense of humor and the movie is a subtler style of comedy than its sequels. But it is still there and in certain scenes can be very funny due to its own excess and self-awareness. Just my opinion.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I just can't see it, and I daren't watch it again by myself

When I was young it scared me but no way should the original scare a teenager or an adult. Even when it was first released the playdo and green slime still looked goofy as hell so how any mature person was scared by that film really baffles me.

And id be willing to bet it getting banned was a result of ignorant people not watching the movie, hearing about it from questionable sources, and fearing the cult following and as a result of banning fed the cult. That film wasnt banned because it was risque or terrifying in itself. It was banned because people who hadnt seen it thought it was those things and began to believe it actually was thereby elevating it to a pedestal it only lives on in the minds of those who still believe it is those things. Or maybe hindsight is 20/20 and im incapable of putting myself in the mind of the people who lived at the time of its release. Either way at the time some probably did think it was scary, but today I just cant imagine how any teenager or adult could think that film is scary. Its too damn goofy and the goo and playdo just dont sell what they are pushing.

 

[Rodrigo90]

There's much worse out there than the original movie.

The only thing that puts the frighteners on me is that every time a serial killer's house is raided in the news, that movie always gets mentioned as being part of the psycho's DVD collection!

Lol Ive never heard the news report a serial killer's movie collection.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It's true!
We had the "Crossbow Cannibal" killer a few year ago in the UK, and Evil Dead was one of his favourite movies!

It's what made me bin my copy

You trashed your copy because a psychopath owned it? I got bad news psychopaths also use toothpaste and soap and water. Crazy people are crazy regardless of entertainment and consumer goods.

 

[Rodrigo90]

No more hygiene products for me then!

 

[UnionJack]

She just did a final pass on the script anyways.

Double Post sorry.

 

[UnionJack]

She just did a final pass on the script anyways.

So she will have added some pop culture stuff and poor sarcastic humor in.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Trailers have a habit of showing brief moments of the good stuff, which basically gives a different impression and different movie from the final product.

So maybe this Cody Diablo has ruined the entire thing!?

Diablo Cody Talks EVIL DEAD (November 18th, 2011)

Collider: If I’m not mistaken, you did a draft or wrote the Evil Dead remake.

Diablo Cody: I did a draft. I did like a polish slash rewrite on the pre-existing, excellent script by Fede Alvarez.

Do you know if the draft that you submitted is the one they’re shooting with?

Cody: I’m not 100% sure. I guess it’s possible that that’s the one, but for all I know they could have commissioned another rewrite, you never know. Are they shooting right now?

No, but I think I’ve seen like a logo which means—

Cody: I think it’s going forward. I’m really excited to hear about it cause it was fun to work on.

When you worked on it, were you on it for a few weeks, was it a few months? And talk a little bit about working on it, cause this is a huge property for so many people.

Cody: I know, honestly I was so excited to do it. I wouldn’t have even gotten involved if Sam [Raimi] and Bruce Campbell hadn’t been involved as well, they’re producing it, and so of course I was like “Alright I have to do this” because I’m such a fan of the original, and the whole original series in fact. But I was nervous to take the job because I thought “Ugh, I’m gonna get **** for this. People are not gonna like this, because all people know of me is like Juno and they think I’m gonna pollute Evil Dead with like wacky dialogue and cute stuff and folk music, and it’s like “No, look I understand what this is. I’m interested in storytelling here and making it scary and good and true to the original.” I feel like people will hopefully see Young Adult and go “Oh, okay that’s a horrifying movie maybe she could pull it off (laughs).”

Did you add or be a part of any gruesome R-rated death scene?

Cody: Because the director’s draft was really scary, I tried to stay away from some of the big horror set pieces. I didn’t wanna mess with his vision, because he’s the one who ultimately has to shoot it. That being said, there is a moment near the—I mean it’s unbelievably violent (laughs). Occasionally I threw in a wound here or there. I didn’t write anything extravagant.

So did you sort of do a pass on dialogue and character stuff?

Cody: Yes. And once again, I did not do like the standard dialogue people associate with me at all. I did very naturalistic dialogue that I felt would serve the story.

Evil Dead Director Says Remake Has No CGI

Fede Alvarez. A champion for practical FX.

The director of the Evil Dead remake spoke with io9 about the forthcoming redo of Sam Raimi's cult classic and he revealed that there will not be a lick of CGI in the film. Inside, you'll find him commenting on this decision to favor practical FX as well as a spoiler-y scene that "pushed the boundaries."

"We didn't do any CGI in the movie. There's no CGI in the movie. Everything you will see is real, which was really demanding. This was a very long shoot, 70 days of shooting at night. There's a reason people use CGI it's cheaper and faster, I hate that. We researched a lot of magic tricks and illusion tricks. [Like] how you would make someone's arm disappear.

There's a moment where a girl goes through her arm with a kitchen knife — spoiler alert. And we knew since day one the camera would start wide, she goes for the knife, you see her arm, she starts going for it. And you think they're going to cut away at any moment, but we don't. She just goes for it and screams and the arm breaks and falls. So we really pushed the boundaries there, trying to create those illusions... It has a particularly bloody ending. The last scene is just...I want it to be the bloodiest scene, ever. And I think it is."

So...the last scene is the bloodiest?! I thought the short clips in the previews were bloody! I can't wait!
