Synopsis:
Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, Evil Dead Rise tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Alyssa Sutherland (TV’s The Mist and Vikings) and Lily Sullivan (Picnic at Hanging Rock, Jungle), whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.
Evil Dead Rise will be filmed on location in New Zealand, with post-production work completed in Ireland. The film will be distributed internationally by Warner Bros. Pictures except for the UK where the film will be distributed by Canal Plus and France where the film will be distributed Metropolitan.
Said Raimi, “I’m thrilled to bring Evil Dead back to its original home at New Line 40 years after the release of the first film. The company’s history as pioneers of horror speaks for itself. I’m equally excited to be working with Lee Cronin, whose gifts as a storyteller make him the ideal filmmaker to continue the enduring legacy of the franchise.”
It’s worth noting that while today’s news confirms Bruce Campbell is on board as a producer, there was no mention of whether we will be appearing in the film as Ash. Time, of course, will tell.
Evil Dead Rise doesn’t have a release date but it will be exclusive to HBO Max.
