Casting is picking up in earnest for the remake of the 1981 cult horror classic "Evil Dead," with Shiloh Fernandez ("Red Riding Hood") signed and Jane Levy ("Suburgatory") in talks to play the male and female leads respectively.
Original director Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell (who played Ash in all three "Evil Dead" films) and original producer Rob Tapert are partnering to bring the remake to life.
Fede Alvarez (responsible for the short film "Panic Attack) will direct based on a script written by Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues. Diablo Cody ("Juno") also provided revisions.
"Evil Dead" followed five college students who are traveling to an isolated cabin become possessed by evil spirits, leaving Ash alone to battle the dead.
"Evil Dead 2," released in 1987, was essentially a remake of the first film, while "Army of Darkness" in 1992 follows Ash to 1300 A.D., where he must battle an army of the dead and retrieve the Necronomicon so he can return home.
Ghost House Pictures partners Joe Drake and Nathan Kahane are executive producing the remake.
