Evil Dead fans, brace yourself, Sam Raimi has now confirmed that he is indeed making another Evil Dead film!

This movie takes place at the exact same time that the Sarah Michelle Gellar Grudge takes place,” Pesce stated. So Sarah Michelle Gellar is doing her thing in Japan, and this is what’s happening in America at that same time.” he continued. “So for people who know the old movies, American and Japanese, super well, they’ll see fun ways that we’ve connected it into the mythology and into the story and storylines that existed, while still making a totally separate story that, for all the people who haven’t seen the Grudge movies, this will still make sense to them,” Starring
