RED RIDING HOOD star Shiloh Fernandez has signed on the dotted line to play the male lead in the planned remake of THE EVIL DEAD, according to Variety. The trade reports that following the departure of Lily Collins, star of ABDUCTION and the forthcoming MIRROR, MIRROR, Fernandez is now the sole confirmed cast member.
THE EVIL DEAD remake, a film that we so DO NOT need (just my opinion), is produced by Robert Tapert, Bruce Campbell and one Sam Raimi. Fede Alvarez is directing the film, which was penned by himself and Rodo Sayagues. Diablo Cody did updates on the draft.
Shooting kicks off in New Zealand soon for a 12th April 2013 Stateside release.
