Agreed...

I'll still always have Evil Dead 2... Which is my favorite.

The idea of rebooting the evil dead actually makes me feel a bit sick with rage. As much as I like the evil dead 2, the thing i don't like about it is that it it's self was a reboot of sorts, which didn't really need to be done.

But to have no ash in it... what the actual fuck?

[kampia]

bah i cant believe another actor will play ash. some films should stay original!

I had read that they cut ash out of it completely. they seem to have changed the format of it almost completely.

There has been plenty of outcry from fans, in the months since it was announced, that Diablo Cody would be working on the remake of The Evil Dead. With good reason people began imagining Ash using a hamburger telephone and calling people, "Homeskillet."

Now doing press to promote her newest film, Young Adult, Cody is setting the record straight.

Collider recently spoke with the writer about the project and explained both her contribution to the script as well as her desire to do it right. First off, one of the biggest things of note is the fact that while Cody did write a draft, most of the movie is still coming from the original version written by Fede Alvarez (who is also directing the film), which Cody says should give us quite a fright. "Because the director’s draft was really scary, I tried to stay away from some of the big horror set pieces," she said. "I didn’t wanna mess with his vision, because he’s the one who ultimately has to shoot it." She does admit that she included something "unbelievably violent" towards the end and a few wounds here or there, but nothing massive.

As for being part of the movie, she's fully aware of the backlash and hopes to assure fans of the cult classic that she will be doing the project justice. First mentioning that she wouldn't have done the movie if Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell hadn't been on board as producers, she expressed her love of the original trilogy and then said that the dialogue in the movie will fit the tone.

"I was nervous to take the job because I thought 'Ugh, I’m gonna get shit for this. People are not gonna like this, because all people know of me is like Juno and they think I’m gonna pollute Evil Dead with like wacky dialogue and cute stuff and folk music,'" she said. "And it’s like 'No, look I understand what this is. I’m interested in storytelling here and making it scary and good and true to the original.'"

She also hopes that Young Adult, which she jokingly calls a "horrifying movie," will help convince fans that Juno is not all she's capable of.

Yesterday we learned that Ghost House/Mandate Pictures and Sony/FilmDistrict would be headed to New Zealand in March to begin filming Evil Dead, the remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 The Evil Dead.

Fede Alvarez directs from his own screenplay co-written with Rodo Sayagues. Revisions were done by Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody.

The story centers on five friends holed up at a remote cabin where they discover a Book of the Dead with a demonic force unleashed possessing each until only one is left to fight for survival. As per exclusive reports, there is a drug subplot -

The "new spin" is the motivation behind the trip, with the lead character taking his younger sister to the family's cabin to help her kick her drug addiction. Without her drugs she becomes insane and difficult to control, which makes it impossible to see that she's actually possessed.

Now, we have even more details. There's quite a bit you may want to avoid if you want to go in cold.

********HERE THERE BE SPOILERS********ALERT***********




A whole bunch of new info hit regarding the character dynamics of the group, and the vaguest of plot outlines is beginning to shake out from all of the disparate details.

First off the tone is apparently not quite as campy as before. This is apparently going for more straight-up scares a la The Shining.

As per Moviehole, "Mia and David, estranged siblings who have recently lost their mother (Mia’s taking it the hardest being that she’s the one who spent most days at the hospital watching her mother deteriorate) have reunited, along with some old friends and his David’s fiancee, for an intervention at THAT old cabin. It’s here that the near rehabilitated Mia (who has apparently already been cast) will also toss the last of her drugs down the well and finally go cold Turkey.

A big storm sets in. Everyone heads to the cabin. The book of the dead is found, and arrogant Eric (one of the friends along for the trip) takes the most interest in transcribing passages from it. Always the dicks that bring the trouble, right?

Meanwhile Mia struggles with her newly sober self — BIG TIME. She was going slightly loopy anyway from a recent overdose (one in which she technically died from but was brought back) so no surprise that Mia is the first and worst to go bananas. And no surprise either that nobody believes her crazy claims of coyote dogs and trees attacking her!

Convinced this is just a crazy druggo coming to grips with her new reality, the gang insist Mia stay put. As far as they’re concerned, she’ll do anything to get out of the cabin and back to the comfort of a bar.

The stuff Mia starts seeing (she sees in the mirror a bloody face with a cracked skull sticking out) and doing (vomiting blood and vile at her friends; getting trigger-happy with a rifle) is alarming; but again, David and co say she’s not leaving until she’s cold turkey. Bad idea obviously — the more time in the cabin, the further the demon that lives there can climb inside her body and take it over.

Covered in burns and blisters, and with bloodshot eyes, and complete with a new macabre grin, Mia goes all Jack Torrance on her mates. Even after she’s injected with tranquilizers, the wild young woman is still a menace. They have no choice but to lock her in.. well, “Evil Dead” fans will know what that’s about.

There’s some fun moments. With great effects, they could look a treat. For instance, when the gang do decide its time to get Mia to the hospital, David grabs the girl and they drive to the bridge they came in on… Only its gone now! Water has swallowed it whole.

The demons plan, of course, is to take everyone’s soul by the end of the film (with Mia’s help). There’s no Ash to make sure that doesn’t happen, so it’s grim."



***********END OF SPOILERS************


With gory moments that remind one of “Hellraiser” or “Cabin Fever” more than anything, and with obvious “Shining” comparisons, “Evil Dead” sounds like it’s going to be a perfectly good horror movie…just not an “Evil Dead” movie.
