Bloody Disgusting is being told exclusively that Sam Raimi is gearing up to produce a quasi-remake of The Evil Dead, his breakthrough horror film from 1981 that starred Bruce Campbell as "Ash", a modern day warrior who fends of resurrected deadites.
In an exclusive scoop, we're told that Fede Alvarez (Federico Alvarez) is directing for Raimi's Ghost House Pictures and Mandate. The remake was announced way back in 2004. No word on casting or if Bruce Campbell will return.
As Dread Central reported yesterday, it sounds as if caasting is already taking place in Detroit, Michigan for a "low budget" shoot before Raimi steps behind the camera for Oz: The Great and Powerful.

Einige Aussagen vom Regisseur zum Remake...
In an interview with Spanish website El Pais, Alvarez dropped the following on fans. We did our best in terms of translation.
"We realize the mistakes not to make," says Alvarez. "As fans of the original, we know we are going to offend those who are also fans just by taking this job. We're going to honor the original film along with the existing fans and hope to bring in a new audience as well."
"Because we are fans of the original, we realize that nobody wants to see a celebrity in a remake like this," he continues. "The only recognizable face will be that of Bruce Campbell, and he will be in a cameo toward the end of the film. We are going to change the characters and some story details, while keeping the basic outline of friends who are beleaguered by demons in a cabin alone."
Alvarez continues, "Sam Raimi says there's a fine line between horror and comedy. The original Evil Dead was intended as a straight horror movie with scenes of extreme gore directly designed to shock the viewer. I rented the movie with a friend from a video store at just thirteen years old, and that was a big mistake! The film scared the life out of us."

Answering some speculation as to whether "Ash" will be re-interpreted in the upcoming Evil Dead remake, Bruce Campbell took to Twitter today to say, "No Ash character currently," when asked about the redo.
He elaborated in another update, "Last statement: ED remake is a re-telling. All bets are off & all involved love the new approach."
Fede Alvarez is presently developing the remake for Ghost House Pictures. He'll direct from a script that he penned; Diablo Cody (Jennifer's Body) was brought in for revisions.
There you have it, you don't have to worry about "who is going to play Ash?" anymore!

Quelle: movieweb.comThe Evil Dead remake is moving forward at Ghost House Pictures, with Federico Alvarez directing from a screenplay by Diablo Cody. Today we have new information about the plot, along with the synopsis released by the American Film Market.
The official synopsis sounds exactly like the original film.
"Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead and unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival."
Bloody Disgusting has discovered that this initial trip to the cabin is motivated by something quite different than what was seen in the original.
"The 'new spin' is the motivation behind the trip, with the lead character taking his younger sister to the family's cabin to help her kick her drug addiction. Without her drugs she becomes insane and difficult to control, which makes it impossible to see that she's actually possessed."
As reported, the Deadites are unleashed when one of the friends deciphers the Book of the Dead and reads portions of it aloud. As reported last month, Bruce Campbell will not appear as Ash in the remake, though he is on board as a producer.
The Evil Dead comes to theaters in 2012.

Jane Levy soll die Rolle übernehmen, die Campbell im Original hatte und laut einer anderen Quelle soll Fernandez den Bruder von Mia (Jane Levy) spielen. Die Figur des Ash an sich gibt es also nicht mehr, was die Diskussion um Fernandez zumindest entschärfen sollte.StS hat geschrieben:Jane Levy übernimmt nun die weibliche Hauptrolle.
Auch nicht schlecht - aber ich hätte doch lieber die Lily gesehen...

Bruce Campbell Says Evil Dead Remake is 'Fabulous'
Source: Digital Spy, August 21, 2012
Bruce Campbell is a straight shooter. He always speaks frankly and that's evident in an interview he participated in with Digital Spy. The subject, naturally, is next year's Evil Dead remake ("the" was dropped from the title).
Campbell served as a producer on the Fede Alvarez-directed redo alongside Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi, so it's not as if the property was placed into unfamiliar hands. Still, that's not stopping the fans from being upset that the original film is even getting an update in the first place.
Campbell is well aware you're "pissed," folks, but he has something to say about the film now that he's seen a rough cut of it.
"We're really excited and really behind it, [but] it's going to take a bit to get the Evil Dead fans behind it. We know we've pissed a lot of them off. We appreciate that and we appreciate their anger and their zeal, but the only thing we want to impress upon them is that we didn't screw it up. This is going to be just as memorable as [the original] Evil Dead without being the same movie," Campbell told the site.
He added he thinks the new film is "fabulous" and "The nice thing is the film looks beautiful. The effects are 10 times better than we ever had access to and the actors are all better than we were in 1979. Though granted Sam Raimi is a mad genius, so we got a crazy result like Evil Dead out of this amateur enthusiasm sort of thing."
Jane Levy, Lou Taylor Pucci, Shiloh Fernandez, Jessica Lucas and Elizabeth Blackmore star in the remake which received some rewrites by Diablo Cody.
Evil Dead is scheduled for an April 12, 2013 release.

NYCC: Der Teaser wurde gezeigt - hier ist eine Beschreibung von der "Bloody Disgusting"-Seite:
“Starts with camera going into forest in the Sam Raimi POV style from the original. The group of friends uncover the cellar door, which is already smeared with blood. They open the book of the dead and it cuts again to the first person camera. He reads from the book and then everything goes crazy with quick shots. A voice over says “We’re all going to die tonight”. The dead rise from the ground, and they look amazing, wet, bloody, and scary. Cuts to a girl slicing her mouth open with a knife, then someone on fire screaming, and then to someone chopping off their arm with a chainsaw. There was a tease of Jane Levy being held by vines, slowly crawling up her legs. Cuts to a dead girl splitting her tongue in half with a rusty blade.
It honestly gave me chills because of how much promise it offers. One thing’s for sure, Fede Alvarez knows how to shoot horror.
It’s one of the best trailers I’ve seen in years.”
