After becoming a horror phenomenon in 1981, the Evil Dead the franchise continues to live. The latest franchise film, Evil Dead Rise, will be released sometime in 2022 and will not have Bruce Campbell as the iconic Ash Williams. It will be the second time Campbell has not starred in a movie or TV series Evil Dead related.
However, franchise fans should rest assured that much of the creative team from the original film will be involved. Campbell, Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are all together as producers. Campbell had the opportunity to talk about the upcoming sequel and had some interesting ideas.
“It’s dark, it’s pretty serious. “Good, strong performances,” Campbell said BlairWitch.De. “She is an unmarried mom who now has to deal with this book. These days it’s more about the book. This book is circulating, this book is being delivered, they are going through it, people are trying to get rid of it, they are trying to bury it or destroy it and they really can’t. So this book continues to appear, so in fact it is just another story of what would happen if this book appeared in that particular group of people’s lives and how it intersects. “
It seems that the film will move away from the cabin to the corner of the forest that was visible in each Evil Dead history. The director of the award-winning horror film The hole in the ground Lee Cronin is taking over the franchise and Campbell had some thoughts on what Cronin is like as a director.
“Lee Cronin is a very serious man, he is a very serious director,” Campbell added. “Sam Raimi chose him because he did a very good job in a movie The hole in the ground. He is a very atmospheric director and Sam thought, “Let’s give this guy a chance.” It will be very good, we have seen a hard one [cut] from it already and has all the accessories we need. Like everything else, when you see a draft version, it just needs to be tightened, but we’re fine. We are in good shape. “
Cronin’s work for The hole in the ground it was very different from the style that fans had been accustomed to in the past Evil Dead stories. The film is moody, serious and not overly stylistic. It will be interesting to see if Cronin adapts his style to imitate Raimi or if he adapts Evil Dead to be more in line with his style.
