An 'Evil Dead' Sequel is coming straight to HBO Max.
Lenn Cronin has signed on to direct the project, and Sami Raimi, the original creator, and Rob Tapert will be producers.
Raimi talked about the upcoming project, saying, "I'm thrilled to bring Evil Dead back to its original home at New Line 40 years after the release of the first film."
He adds, "The company’s history as pioneers of horror speaks for itself. I’m equally excited to be working with Lee Cronin, whose gifts as a storyteller make him the ideal filmmaker to continue the enduring legacy of the franchise."
