Writing Diva Diablo Cody is scripting the Evil Dead Remake


Good news (I think)! Diablo will be rewriting the Evil Dead remake:
The Evil Dead remake has been confirmed today, with Oscar winning screenwriter Diablo Cody on hand to give the script a finishing touch. On Tuesday, news came through that the Evil Dead franchise was to resurface but it was uncertain if this would be in the shape of a fourth instalment or a remake.

Diablo Cody is the latest name to be attached to the project, joining the new director Federico Alvarez. In a press release producers Sam Raimi - pictured below - Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell said: “We are committed to making this movie and are inspired by the enduring popularity and enthusiasm for the Evil Dead series.”

“We can’t wait to scare a new generation of moviegoers using filmmaking techniques that were not available to us thirty years ago as well as Fede [director Federico Alvarez] bringing a fresh eye to the film’s original elements.”
Go Diablo, I hope you bring it.

I do like Diablo.

I'm excited for this. I love Diablo Cody's writing, she has such a dark and sarcastic humor that she seems best for helping to bring the Evil Dead back without making it unintentionally humorous like almost every other horror reboot.

Wonder if that is a good choice?
