Lily Collins to star in remake of ‘The Evil Dead’
Lily Collins (Clary Fray) will star in the lead role of the remake of The Evil Dead, which will be released April 12, 2013.
Here are the details from Collider:
Fede Alvarez‘ remake of Sam Raimi‘s The Evil Dead has landed its first piece of major casting with Lily Collins (The Blind Side) in final negotiations to play the role of “Mia”. Like the original, the new version centers on five friends who go to a remote cabin and unleash dark forces when they read from the Necronomicon. From there, the evil starts possessing each member of the group until only one remains and must fight for survival. Per Bloody Disgusting, Mia is headed to the cabin to detox after a recent overdose. Struggling with her new-found sobriety, “she begins acting insane, so it comes as no surprise that nobody believes her crazy claims of coyote dogs and trees attacking her!” Co-writer Diablo Cody has said the script is unbelievable violent, and BD says there’s also a drug subplot.
This will definitely be the darkest film that Lily has done to date. Will you be seeing The Evil Dead when it hits theaters?


i will see it for her! I love her and she’s a great actress. it might be a fun campy horror film and one of the highlights will be her acting.
Absolutely! I love Diablo Cody’s writing style and am also really looking forward to seeing Lily in this role 🙂
Im sooooooo there!!
Hopefully this movie turns out as amazing as the original and as scary wierd too! Lily Collins is a pretty good actress i just hope she can pull off the survival type of character in horror movies.
