Evil is preparing to rise from the grave once again. After a trilogy, a reboot, and a wild TV series, the Evil Dead franchise is on its way back to screens in 2022. Evil Dead Rise is currently scheduled to hit HBO Max sometime in 2022, and the film’s director just offered fans a major update about its production journey. Lee Cronin, who is stepping in to helm this new take on the franchise announced on Twitter this week that Evil Dead Rise has officially finished filming. The filmmaker also confirmed that this will be a very bloody affair, a fact that likely made the hearts of Evil Dead fans everywhere soar.
8 months, 1 Covid Lockdown, 6,500 litres of blood, and more memories than my brain can even process. That is a wrap on #EvilDeadRise. Thank you New Zealand, it’s been a blast. Time to head home and cut this beast together. pic.twitter.com/iyah4vEEqL
