Fede Alvarez Shares Previously Unseen ‘Evil Dead’ Promo Photos
We still want to see Ash and Mia team up.
Before he made Don’t Breathe, Fede Alvarez first came to the attention of horror fans with Evil Dead, a remake of Sam Raimi’s classic film that was released in 2013. Smartly, the Evil Dead remake did away with the character of Ash completely, rebooting the franchise with a remake that was actually more of an indirect sequel than anything else.
Instead of Ash, Evil Dead 2013 featured main character Mia, played by Jane Levy. Though she wasn’t immediately identifiable as the Ash character, so to speak, Mia eventually ended up losing a hand and kicking some serious Deadite ass; solidifying her as, well, a female Ash of sorts.
Why do I bring this up? Because Alvarez just shared a couple of awesome promo stills from Evil Dead that highlight Levy’s ass-kicking character!
Covered in blood and holding a chainsaw, Mia looks like a true Deadite-slaying warrior in these previously unseen shots!
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.”
