Francis Galluppi Assembles Star-Studded Cast for Next ‘Evil Dead’ Film

Charlotte Hope (The Nun), Jessica McNamee (Mortal Kombat), Zach Gilford (Midnight Mass), Josh Helman (Mad Max: Fury Road), Ella Newton (Dangerous Animals), Elizabeth Cullen (Diabolic), and Australian newcomer Ella Oliphant are set to star in the next installment of the Evil Dead franchise, Deadline reports.

Not to be confused with Evil Dead Burn, this as-yet-untitled seventh Evil Dead film is being written and directed by Francis Galluppi (The Last Stop in Yuma County). Plot details are being kept tightly under wraps, but fans can expect plenty of supernatural terror.

Franchise legend Sam Raimi and producer Rob Tapert are on board, with Bruce Campbell and Evil Dead Rise director Lee Cronin set to executive produce alongside Romel Adam and Jose Canas.

New Line Cinema will handle domestic distribution through Warner Bros. Pictures, while Sony will distribute internationally. StudioCanal is distributing in the UK, and Metropolitan Filmexport will handle France.

Meanwhile, fans won’t have to wait long for more Evil Dead action: director Sébastien Vaniček’s Evil Dead Burn is set to hit theaters on July 24.
