[Rumor Control] ‘Evil Dead’ Remake Trailer Fan-Made, But Absolutely Incredible!
Just a few minutes ago I received an e-mail from an anonymous tipster who claimed to have found a bootlegged trailer for Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead remake, which just wrapped production in New Zealand. It’s going to take more than filming a monitor to get one past me…
Not only is the word “director” misspelled, and title incorrect (there’s no “The” in the title anymore), but these aren’t the actors in Film District’s demonic reboot that actually stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Elizabeth Blackmore, Jessica Lucas and (presumably) Bruce Campbell. We also checked in with Evan who tells us this looks nothing like what was on set when he visited this summer. (Update: We also checked with the filmmakers who confirmed it’s a fantastic fraud.)
With that said, the fan-made faux trailer is awesome, and I really want to share it with you! It’s absolutely brilliant stuff that’s so precise in its mimicking of Raimi’s directing style that it’s obviously made by an uber-fan. You can watch it below and then speculate as to what we’ll see when the remake hits theaters April 12, 2013.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
