The new film Evil Dead Rise shows itself with a first picture. A fifth feature film that will have its own direction but will not completely deny the lore of the saga.
The year 2023 will be groovy with the theatrical release of Evil Dead Rise. A new film shown in the picture giving details of its intentions.
Evil Dead Rise without Ash but with a lot of Deadites
It was during an interview for total movie that Lee Cronin, the director ofEvil Dead RiseHe spoke about his future film. A feature film shot without Ash (Bruce Campbell) but with different elements of the franchise’s lore.
There is no Ash in this story and there is no cabin in the woods and these are two hallmarks of Evil Dead. But in the film we find the book and an extraordinary amount of wild and malicious Deadites, so I was always comfortable with the idea of taking the feature film somewhere else, to Los Angeles.
Yes, forget the terrible forests and his run-down shack, where no one wants to stay this time, on the way to the city of angels. But Cronin and his teams found a replacement for the shack. It will take place in a rundown building with a family stuck in their apartment.
Despite this, we had to ensure that a claustrophobic atmosphere prevailed. And the transition from a cabin to an urban environment works very well. It’s the story of a family in a rundown building who are stuck in their apartment, so it follows the same pattern but with a more contemporary setting.
Shake up the codes and respect them
Moving the action to Los Angeles is a big change in itself. But Evil Dead Rise is firmly rooted in the universe of the franchise and will also contain direct references.
He is well anchored in the universe. There are many fun memories and direct links to the past. But part of the goal of this film was to create something that could further expand the Evil Dead universe.
Will it be a mix of horror and comedy, like Sam Raimi’s trilogy? Or vice versa, a more serious and extremely bloody project like that Evil Dead 2013) by Fede Alvarez? Behind the scenes, Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell are keeping an eye on things while being in production. If it’s the same quality as the previous movie or series Ash vs Evil Deadwe will sign it for our part immediately.
