Just to Torture You: Some ‘Evil Dead IV’ Non-News
Movieweb caught up with Ted Raimi at the 2nd Annual Streamy Awards where they confronted him about Evil Dead IV, a sequel I’ve stopped thinking about for years now. If it’s officially announced, consider me the first in line. “Well it might happen … but then again … it might not happen,” Ted tells Movieweb, giving them zero worthwhile information. “You know, it’s really Sam’s project, it’s not my project so I certainly don’t want to speak for him but I hope it does go through…I know a lot of fans would really love to see it. So that’s a big deal for them.” Raimi has told us in the past that he’ll think about it after his illustrious mega-blockbuster career winds down, basically stating, why wouldn’t he do Spider-Man movies while he still can? Good question, I guess?
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
