In the Evil Dead Remake, "Ash" is a Woman

In the 'Evil Dead' remake, the lead character is not Ash, but Mia. 'Mirror, Mirror''s Snow White (Lily Collins) will be the lead heroine of this horror film.

Up-and-comer Lily Collins is the first actor to join the new Evil Dead. According to Bloody Disgusting, she's been cast as Mia, one of five friends who find themselves stranded in a remote cabin. It's there that they discover the Book of the Dead, which unleashes evil spirits that possess them one by one.

Collins' character is a bit rough around the edges. She's a drug addict who thinks a vacation could help her detox. But when the trip takes a supernatural turn, her past comes back to haunt her. When she tells the group she's been attacked by "coyotes and trees," no one believes her. They assume she's under the influence and hallucinating. 

Speaking of the group, the other characters yet to be cast are David, Natalie, Olivia and Eric. David and Natalie are engaged, Olivia is Mia's best friend, and Eric is the unlucky one who unleashes the demons from the book.

I'll keep y'all posted on the developments.
