Filming Has Wrapped on 'EVIL DEAD RISE': A Welcome Return To The Evil Dead Franchise!
Evil Dead Rise is setup to be the first film in the Evil Dead franchise in almost 10yrs. The film is going straight to HBO Max for it’s release. Lee Cronin is heading up this project and we don’t have any firm release date as of this writing but we can confirm, via Cronin himself, filming has wrapped!
Cronin tweets, “8 months, 1 Covid Lockdown, 6,500 litres of blood, and more memories than my brain can even process. That is a wrap on #EvilDeadRise. Thank you New Zealand, it’s been a blast. Time to head home and cut this beast together.”
Check out some behind the scenes sneak peeks in the tweet below.
Deadline details, “In the fifth Evil Dead film, a road-weary Beth pays an overdue visit to her older sister Ellie, who is raising three kids on her own in a cramped L.A apartment. The sisters’ reunion is cut short by the discovery of a mysterious book deep in the bowels of Ellie’s building, giving rise to flesh-possessing demons, and thrusting Beth into a primal battle for survival as she is faced with the most nightmarish version of motherhood imaginable.”
Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End) and Nell Fisher (Splendid Isolation) will star in the new movie alongside Alyssa Sutherland and Lily Sullivan.
Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Robert Tapert are producing Evil Dead Rise. According to Campbell, the three have been “very involved” in the project every step of the way.
