Update: More on That ‘Evil Dead’ Remake…
Update: We can confirm Diablo Cody is secretly involved with the screenplay. Story soon.
Just yesterday we broke the news exclusively that short film director Fede Alvarez (Federico Alvarez) would be getting behind the camera for a reboot of Sam Raimi’s cult classic The Evil Dead. We went scoop hunting on the heels of Dread Central’s tip-off that Raimi was flying to Detroit to cast up the long-awaited fourth Evil Dead.
Now that the dust has settled, here’s what remains: We exclusively learned that the script for the remake is still being retooled and is undergoing rewrites. They’re not even close to casting yet. As of this writing Bruce Campbell will NOT star, but he could cameo (maybe the down-and-out “Ash” will pass the torch on to a younger S-Mart employee?)
The summary? I’ll believe there’s a new Evil Dead in theaters when I’m watching it with my own two eyes. And always remember: Shop smart, shop S-Mart.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
