For a while there we could barely make it through a week without hearing some sort of news regarding Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead 2. Since then, however, Alvarez has attached himself to a couple of new projects—one of them being Dante’s Inferno for Universal—and has kept pretty quiet about any movement on the sequel. So what’s the deal with the sequel and why is it taking so long to get off the ground? Continue Reading…
Yesterday we were hit with the surprising news that Fede Alvarez was no longer attached to Evil Dead 2, but apparently the statement made by co-writer Rodo Sayagues got lost in translation. Bloody Disgusting reached out to Alvarez who confirms that, “stuff got lost in translation” with Sayagues in the Gorosito interview published earlier today. He elaborated, “Rodo meant we’re not actually making ‘Evil Dead 2′ right now because the priority is Sam’s ‘Army of Darkness 2.’ But the plan of making a sequel to our ‘Evil Dead’ is very much alive.” Continue Reading…
Evil Dead 2 took a huge blow today as it was announced that both director Fede Alvarez and co-writer Rodo Sayagues have dropped out of the project. This comes in just a few days after we learned that Sam Raimi would be helming Army of Darkness 2. With Alvarez out of the project, things aren’t looking so great for the sequel. Here’s what Sayagues told Gorosito.tv: Continue Reading…
Last week Bruce Campbell spilled some fantastic news, saying that an Army of Darkness 2 was on its way. I decided to hold off on reporting that news because we’ve all heard Campbell say similar things with nothing materializing. Well, folks, it’s time to start talking Army of Darkness 2 because the mastermind behind it all, Sam Raimi, has just been confirmed by none other than Evil Dead‘s Fede Alvarez! Continue Reading…
This is going to be insane. Universal Pictures has just set Evil Dead director Fede Alvarez behind the camera of Dante’s Inferno. The flick will be based off the EA game of the same name, which is based on part one of the medieval epic poem, The Divine Comedy, commonly referred to as Dante’s Inferno, by Dante Alighieri. Whether or not your a fan of Alvarez’s take on Sam Raimi’s classic The Evil Dead, there’s no doubting that his use of practical effects and gut-punching gore was absolutely brilliant.

A secret sci-fi film from Fede Alvarez? You’ve got my attention! Lately we’ve been hearing a lot from Alvarez about a potential Evil Dead sequel and the direction he’d like to take it. One thing he forgot to mention during all of this was that he’s been quietly working on a pitch idea for a little sci-fi film called Machina. Now that the cat is out of the bag, it looks like Alvarez’s sales pitch was a success because he has just sold the sci-fi project to MRC. Hell. Yes. Continue Reading…
Here’s one you guys are really going to dig. I don’t know about you, but I love the horror trailers from the glory days of the genre. The whiny audio and the terrifying narrator coupled with the film’s grimy quality always made for a classic trailer that suits the horror genre in a way that you just don’t see these days.
Thanks to YouTuber P. Parker, he takes us on a trip down memory lane with this insanely cool re-imagining of Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead trailer. Essentially what Parker did was take the audio from Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic and put it to Evil Dead creating an old school vibe as if the film came out on VHS. It’s so well done that if you didn’t know any better you’d think this was a trailer for a horror film that has been sitting on a shelf for the last 30 years. Even the editing is top notch with its quick cuts and gritty quality. I can’t wait to see what he does next! Check it out below. Continue Reading…
Just recently we got some new details on Fede Alvarez’s sequel to Evil Dead and how he would like to approach the second installment.

With Comic-Con wrapping up, Alvarez spilled more details on the sequel and he teases the idea of Raimi’s Ash meeting up with his Mia. Read on for the goods! Continue Reading…
