Bruce Campbell Shares New Photo From EVIL DEAD RISE Featuring the Main Characters
If you’re excited about the next Evil Dead movie, Evil Dead Rise, I’ve got new photos for you to check out that were shared by producer Bruce Campbell. This photo offers us a first look at the main characters in the story. We previously shared an image of one of the demons.
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.”
Campbell shared on Twitter: "For the Deadites who weren't able to make it to BruceFest this year, I'm very excited to share this shot of the family from Evil Dead Rise. See them come together or be torn apart only in theaters April 21."
Producer Raimi previously teased that the movie will be “terrifying” and “knock people's socks off”. Campbell also said that Evil Dead Rise is going to be a "much more excruciating" experience from an emotional level, saying:
"This one's dark, this one's pretty serious. Good, strong performances. It's a single mom who now has to deal with this book. These days it's more about the book. That book gets around, that book is handed around, passed along, people try and get rid of it, they try to bury it or destroy it and they really can't. So this book just keeps popping up, so really it's just another story of what happens if this book appears in this particular group of people's lives and how it intersects."
The movie stars Alyssa Sutherland (Vikings) and Lily Sullivan (Picnic at Hanging Rock), and they’re joined by Gabrielle Echols (Reminiscence), Morgan Davies (The End), and Nell Fisher (Splendid Isolation).
Evil Dead Rise is slated to hit theaters on April 21, 2023.
