Jane Levy lands the female lead in The Evil Dead remake
Jane Levy will play Mia, who heads up to a remote cabin with a group of friends, just after she recently overdosed on drugs. The trip takes a turn for the worse when a maelvelont spirit is unleashed after The Book of the Dead is read from. It is also said that Mia "corresponds" to Bruce Campbell's Ash character from the original The Evil Dead. The casting follows yesterday's news that Shiloh Fernandez will portray the male lead.
Federico Alvarez is directing The Evil Dead from a script he co-wrote with Rodolfo Sayagues. Diablo Cody also provided a rewrite on the script.
No production schedule was released for The Evil Dead
The Evil Dead comes to theaters April 12th, 2013 and stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, Elizabeth Blackmore. The film is directed by Federico Alvarez.

@SherlockHolmes2009 There's never been a remake that "needed" to be remade. But in the case of something like True Grit, I think we're glad that was done twice right.

I don't care if there's a remake, to be honest. We'll always have the original and it ain't getting replaced. If the remake will give the original even more attention then I'm all for this.

I was hoping for Emma Roberts, but not really expecting her. I don't know who this Levy woman is, so I can't really make a call either way on this.
Still pretty excited to see how this project turns out.

Who the hell is Jane Levy!! I guess she needs the paycheck!!
I for one don't think "Evil Dead" needs to be remade!!! Very sad!
