Evil Dead (2013)

[<(o_o)>]

This will probably be a hard PG-13 anyways.

To be honest, it's better if the character Ash isn't in this film. Bruce Campbell is Ash, he's easily just as tied to that character as Englund is to Krueger. Maybe even more since he doesn't have makeup covering his face in the films and is easily recognizable on the street.

I don't care what movies they remake anymore, but it's a smart move to keep the character Ash out of this one.

To some extent I do agree with you. If you can't have Bruce you shouldn't have Ash. However this remake is like making a Nightmare on Elm Street film without Freddy and I'm not talking about recasting, but on totally removing the character that the series is created on from this film. If they really felt they had a great original story for a horror film set in the woods then make it its on thing so it dosen;t have to worry about matching up to the original.

I think the difference is that Freddy is the premise of the Nightmare films, while Ash, as memorable as he is, is the protagonist. You set a movie with a cabin in the woods, the Necronomicon, and evil spirits and people are likely going to ask "why are you ripping off Evil Dead?". It's a no win situation. You might as well just call it part of the franchise at that point and be done with it.

This entire thing sounds horrible and not just because it's a piss poor re imagining of a somewhat already silly movie but just because as a standalone film it still sounds godawful.

I hope not.

as long as the tree-rape-scene is intact, i'm all for this!

 

[DarkSovereignty]

I want to see someone rape the TREE.

 

[Lasirius]

I have a feeling they're going to leave that part out.

Also, I don't know how I feel about the casting of Lilly Collins. I haven't seem much of her but that damn Mirror Mirror trailer left me a bad taste in my mouth, though she could be good in it.

 

[Specter313]

Well, that didn&#8217;t last long.

Word got out earlier this month that Mirror Mirror star Lily Collins would play the lead in the Evil Dead remake directed by Fede Alvarez and re-written by Diablo Cody. But, according to a tweet by Variety&#8217;s Jeff Sneider, Collins, who intended to play the main character Mia, has left the film &#8220;due to a scheduling issue.&#8221;

Sam Raimi&#8217;s original 1981 film set a group of friends in a cabin against a group of demons they accidentally unleashed. This new version takes the same basic concept, but changes up the characters, putting Mia in the lead alongside her brother David, his fiance Natalie and their friends Eric and Olivia. Tensions rise as Mia sees the demons, but her friends believe she is still on drugs.

The film is set to begin filming in March in New Zealand.

I guess this means there will never be an Evil Dead 4, are they in least going to make more continuation comics?

 

[Punisher Rising]

This sounds like it'd be decent as it's own movie, but as something related to Evil Dead.

 

[Zanham]

With as iconic and as synonymous as Ash has become with The Evil Dead series, I don't think it can be bettered and if they can't top the three prior movies then why do it?

 

[Slushy]

If they called it something else or at least had an Ash cameo in the Id be all for it.

I can agree with this. It'd be cool if Bruce showed up at the end or something to give the remake some credibility.

 

[chaseter]

Oh god I had forgotten about this.

First shot of a location they'll be using, the road to the cabin.

I wouldn't mind if this was like the new "21 Jump Street" (as in it's set years after the events of the original movies). That way it doesn't tree-rape the original.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I still think they need to drop The Evil Dead title and re-title it.

 

[Kar]

I don't care what anyone says. I think this is gonna be one of the best things ever and this is coming from a HUGE "Evil Dead" fan.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Why is that?

Yup.

Who knows maybe it will, but what does this flick have going for it so far? Its missing the key ingredients for a good Evil Dead flick. Its not directed or written by Raimi and it doesnt have the lead who makes the series what it is. Those are not good signs.

 

[chaseter]

It's written by Diablo Cody and stars a female lead...Jennifer's Evil Dead Body.

Well they can always recreate the bedroom scene between Seyfried and Fox

As I've said before, I think the plot sounds good enough for a completely unrelated movie, but it doesn't work as Evil Dead. An Evil Dead movie without Ash is like having an Indiana Jones movies without Indiana Jones, it just doesn't feel right.
