Evil Dead Wrath Producer Reveals The Film Is A Prequel
The seventh film will go all the way back to the 1970s...
Producer of the upcoming Evil Dead Wrath film, Robert Tapert, has revealed that the film will be a prequel to Sam Raimi’s original 1981 classic.
In an interview with Dread Central, the producer said that Evil Dead Wrath “is yet another great departure. It predates everything. It takes place in 1972.”
He went on to add that, “It will feel like a 1972 movie because the director and his DP want to imitate the film’s look and feel of something that’s called Ektachrome 100, which was a film stock. Still available, but a film stock. A lot of movies [were] shot on that then. And so it’s very warm, very tungsten.”
This film is being written and directed by Frances Gallupi, best known for 2023’s The Last Stop in Yuma County. It stars Charlotte Hope, Jessica McNamee, Zach Gildofrd and Josh Helman, and is set to release on 7th April 2028.
In just a couple of weeks, however, we will see the release of the next film in the Evil Dead franchise, with Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn hitting theatres this summer all over the world. The film will star Souheila Yacoub, Tandi Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan and Erroll Shand.
Burn marks the sixth Evil Dead film in the franchise, with Wrath eventually taking the tally up to seven. After Raimi’s trilogy, consisting of The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness, Fede Álvarez rebooted the franchise with 2013’s Evil Dead, before Lee Cronin followed that up in 2023 with Evil Dead Rise.
Evil Dead Burn is in cinemas on July 10th.
