Mark your calendars for April 5 as the FilmDistrict and TriStar Evil Dead remake opens in theaters one week earlier than original planned. Yay!

“In the much anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they 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.”

Directed by Fede Alvarez, the R-rated remake stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Elizabeth Blackmore, Jessica Lucas and Bruce Campbell.

I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous when director Fede Alvarez tweeted out that the MPAA had given the first pass of his Evil Dead an NC-17, equal to the kiss of death in the industry. I knew it could be trimmed, but I wondered just how many passes it would take to appease the old goons at the MPAA. Turns out, not that much.

The film, in theaters April 12 from FilmDistrict and TriStar, has officially been rated “R” for “strong bloody violence and gore, some sexual content and language.”

And with that, we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief.

‘Evil Dead’ Had Received An NC-17, Cut For “R”

If it weren’t obvious from the various set reports and trailers, the new Evil Dead was aiming at an NC-17.

When a fan asked director Fede Alvarez about the film receiving an R-rating, he replied, “Was proud of scoring a NC17 when submitted! But we had to cut stuff out to get an R and get the film into theaters.”

It sounds as if the film is official rated “R”, but that there’s some juicy content leftover for the eventual home video release.

So there’s been a lot of back and forth about whether or not the new Evil Dead is 100% CGI free or if they’re just using a tiny bit here and there for things like wire removal and color grading. I was expecting them to use a tiny bit of it to cover up small stuff that considering we’re in the age when CGI is used to remove blemishes and occasionally slim down the star of a romantic comedy… but maybe not?

Now we’ve got a cool look at a gag that doesn’t cover up its practical nature in the Evil Dead trailer. Thanks to reader DJBlack1313 for pointing it out. You’ll notice a cleaned up version of it above (Edit: The image above is from the first red band teaser – the one inside is from the newer full length) and inside you can see a version of it that made it to the trailer where the tube is visible.

The Fede Alvarez-directed remake stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Elizabeth Blackmore and Jessica Lucas. It hits theaters on April 12th, 2013. Be sure to read PART ONE and PART TWO of my set visit!

10 Facts About The New ‘Evil Dead’!!!

Last summer I spent two days in Auckland, New Zealand to check out the set of TriStar and FilmDistrict’s upcoming Evil Dead remake. I’m not going to mince words here, I have never walked away from a set this confident and hopeful that a movie will turn out well. With a lot of these visits you get the feeling that people are just fort of putting on their best face to meet you, and you’re not entirely convinced of their commitment to making a great movie.

Not here. Fede Alvarez is not f*cking around. Neither is producer Rob Tapert. Nor are Robert Gillies (the production designer) or Roger Murray (the prosthetics and props maker). The film’s DP, Aaron Morton, isn’t f*cking around either when it comes to getting those crazy roving tree shots we love so much. And the cast? Enduring all of the prosthetics, pain and hundreds of gallons of blood? Not f*cking around. I’m not talking about a bunch of disinterested dilettantes talking about “how much they love the project.” I’m talking about seeing the bloody proof of it firsthand. I’m not just talking about the scenes we witnessed, but the messy aftermath of everything they’d been shooting up until that point. You just can’t fake a production like this for two days while press is around.

Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Elizabeth Blackmore, Lou Taylor Pucci and Jessica Lucas star in the much anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film. It hits theaters on April 12th, 2013. Be sure to read PART ONE and PART TWO for a more in depth analysis on this visit.

No CGI At All In The New ‘Evil Dead’?!!

Movies
Posted by EvanDickson on January 06, 2013 @ 11:32am
Category: Movies / News

Director Fede Alvarez has stated that there is absolutely NO CGI in his upcoming Evil Dead remake. I’m not sure if this statement includes stuff like enhancements or some wire removal here and there (and I wouldn’t care if it didn’t) but the overall gist is that any big, gross gag you might see onscreen was 100% done in-camera and onset.

Speaking with io9 he said, “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.”

That last bit, about the illusions, sells it for me. I absolutely think its possible to create all kinds of magic (vines coming out of a mouth, arms being chopped off – various other sh*t I can’t tell you about yet) with a little slight of hand.

Well that took forever – at least I put my entire soul into it.

I just spent the better half of the hour going frame by frame and pulling the coolest shots out of the full red band trailer for Evil Dead. What I discovered within the flashes of gooey madness were all sorts of gems ranging from a shot of a girl missing her lower jaw to a scene featuring bloody rain! This has easily got to be the goriest trailer I have ever seen, which makes me wonder if director Fede Alvarez is going to give Peter Jackson’s infamous Dead Alive a run for its money. We shall find out on April 12.

In addition to 12 shockers, including the revelation that the Devil may behind the madness, we’ve included a whopping 99 wet images that shouldn’t be viewed while eating lunch.

The ‘Evil Dead’ Teaser Poster Has Serious, SERIOUS Balls!!!

Category: Movies / News

FilmDistrict has revealed the official teaser poster for Evil Dead, the Fede Alvarez-directed reboot to Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic about a group of kids who unleash demons in a cabin deep in the woods.

The poster – obviously inspired by The Social Network – doesn’t show much, other than the back of a presumably possessed female, along with the bold assertion: “The most terrifying film you will ever experience.”

What I love about the proclamation is that the studio isn’t using critic quotes, they’re using their own voice to promise you that come April 12, 2013 you will be a believer. The use of the word “experience” is also telling as it implies you’ll be more than being scared, Evil Dead is a movie that will physically rattle you. They have some serious balls, now let’s hope they live up to the hype!

In the much anticipated remake, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they 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.

Jane Levy Is Mortified Of WHAT In This Exclusive ‘Evil Dead’ Image?!

Slightly teased in the mind-blowing trailer premiere (watch it inside), Bloody Disgusting has landed an exclusive look at the second official still from Evil Dead, the Fede Alvarez-directed remake of Sam Raimi’s 1981 cult classic The Evil Dead.

If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you’re unaware of the madness that’s unleashed when the Book of the Dead is recited from (again). Some of the footage is absolutely horrific, which is why the following image premiere is so perfect. What you’ll see below is star Jane Levy with the most terrified expression I think I’ve ever seen on film. Clearly, something mortifying is approaching.

Says Alvarez, revealing a minor spoiler that’s displayed within the trailer: “That’s Mia seconds before loosing her tree rape virginity…” The scene is an homage to Raimi’s original where Cheryl (played by Ellen Sandweiss) is raped by a tree.

In theaters April 12, 2013 from FilmDistrict, “Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they 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.” Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Elizabeth Blackmore and Jessica Lucas also star.

While scouring Twitter we stumbled onto a piece of fan made art for FilmDistrict’s forthcoming Evil Dead that blew our minds. Penned (literally) by artist Karthik Abhiram, the art depicts a montage of imagery showed in the film’s trailer.

“For making the drawing, I followed my usual process – I took several screenshots from the trailer and used them as reference,” said Abhiram. “The drawing was done using primarily a black ballpoint pen, but a black marker was also used for solid black areas, and all the blood was done with a red gel pen. A slight touch of blue ballpoint pen is also seen – on the guy with the chainsaw.

“After completing the drawing, I scanned it in and then adjusted the contrast in Photoshop Elements. I also overlaid two paper textures (bashcorpo’s texture 5 and 6 – these two are favourites of mine and I’ve used them very often), and then added the logo and the text.”
