New ALIEN Film In the Works From DON'T BREATHE Director Fede Alvarez With Ridley Scott Producing

A new "Alien" is in the works at 20th Century Studios, which will be written and directed by Fede Alvarez and produced by Ridley Scott, the director of the original 1979 film. Alvarez is best known for directing the 2013 "Evil Dead" remake, and the horror thriller "Don't Breathe".

Scott is producing via his Scott Free banner, and the movie is intended to stream on Hulu. An "Alien" series is also in the works from Noah Hawley at FX, with Scott in talks to executive produce. Alvarez's project is said to be a new take on the franchise, and will not have any narrative connection with the previous "Alien" films.

According to sources, Alvarez, who is a rabid fan of the franchise, first pitched an idea to Scott years ago, and that idea apparently made quite an impact, because Scott eventually called Alvarez last year asking him if he still wanted to do it. Obviously, the "Don't Breathe" helmer answered yes.

20th Century Studios division president Steve Asbell said they picked up the project "purely off the strength of Fede's pitch" and went on to say that "it was just a really good story with a bunch of characters you haven't seen before". Asbell also talked about streaming the projects on Hulu and how that allows them not to compromise their vision: "It's not a film that has to be all things to all people with those gargantuan budgets. They get to be authentically what they are. And this is closer to its genre roots."

The studio is also developing a new "Predator" prequel titled "Prey", wilch will also debut on Hulu this summer.

Updates on EVIL DEAD 2 and ARMY OF DARKNESS 2

These last couple of days have been all about mixed messages regarding the "Evil Dead" franchise. It all started when Evil Dead remake director Fede Alvarez sort of announced via Twitter that Sam Raimi will be directing "Army of Darkness 2". For the uninitiated, "Army of Darkness" was the third installment in Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy. This came as a confirmation of another announcement of sorts made by franchise star Bruce Campbell at the Wizard World Nashville Comic Con.

Here is Bruce Campbell's half-kidding, half-serious statement when asked about "Army of Darkness 2":

"The last one was twenty-two years ago. I just haven’t been racing to do it. Sam Raimi is just a little bit busy making the biggest movies in Hollywood. I used to be busy. Now I’m not. That’s why I’m here."

Ash would have to stop occasionally from chasing some deadite to catch his breath. Maybe we could do that, I guess. That would be exciting. Fight in a walker. That would be alright. Hit them with my cane. Fake them out, have a fake heart attack, distract a zombie. I like it.

Alright sir, the answer is yes."

A few days later, Fede Alvarez was asked about that sequel on Twitter and his response pointed towards Raimi taking over the project. Here is the Twitter exchange:

Benjamin Thiele @thielebenjamin: "Hey @fedalvar will you be directing the Army Of Darkness 2 movie?"

Fede Alvarez @fedalvar: "Sam Raimi will!"

Everything gets stranger, though, when it comes to Alvarez's own "Evil Dead" sequel. Although initially the young director and co-writer Rodo Sayagues were tapped to develop a sequel for the remake, Sayagues spoke about the project yesterday and revealed that in fact both he and Alvarez had left the project many months ago:

"Look, I am sorry to tell you this but that movie won’t happen. Evil Dead 2 is not going to happen, at least not with us involved. We left that project many months ago because we preferred to put our energies on other things. I don’t know if the producers still have intentions of making it. But what I can tell you is that we are not part of that project."

Today Fede Alvarez has responded via Twitter that we shouldn't believe everything we read online. The exact quote is: "Don't believe everything you read online..." Furthermore, the director told Bloody Disgusting that it was all a misunderstanding, and that "Rodo meant we’re not actually making Evil Dead 2 right now because the priority is Sam [Raimi's] Army of Darkness 2. But the plan of making a sequel to our Evil Dead is very much alive."

In conclusion, it seems that everything is all right and fans will get not one, but two sequels, one for each of the "Evil Dead" series, and Raimi's movie will be released first.

2 New Movie Clips for the EVIL DEAD Remake

Today we have more distrubing clips from the "Evil Dead" remake directed by Fede Alvarez. The first is a red band clip, so proceed with caution. It's very, very violent and gory (see the image above). The second clip is more focused on suspense, as Jane Levy confesses that there's some unseen entity stalking her. It's too soon to make any real judgement on the film, since the clips only show the same violence and dialogue that we've seen in countless other horror movies, but the early buzz has been positive, so there's a good chance that the remake will live up to, or even surpass the original. The remake stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Elizabeth Blackmore, Lou Taylor Pucci and Jessica Lucas. "Evil Dead" opens on April 5, 2013.

Watch the clips after the jump.

"Going to Die Tonight" Clip for EVIL DEAD Remake

A distrubing new movie clip has been released for the "Evil Dead" remake directed by Fede Alvarez. It's going to bring back such fond memories for fans of the franchise. The remake stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Elizabeth Blackmore, Lou Taylor Pucci and Jessica Lucas. "Evil Dead" opens on April 5, 2013.

New EVIL DEAD Movie Clip and Preview

We have the first movie clip for the "Evil Dead" remake and it's certainly a tame preview compared to the gore-fest that the early reviews have announced. So far the reactions have been positive and those hoping for the violence to go way over the top, well, you're in for a treat. The other preview is a WonderCon Announcement trailer. It doesn't contain any new footage, but the editing and the sound effects are really great. The remake is directed by Fede Alvarez and stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Elizabeth Blackmore, Lou Taylor Pucci and Jessica Lucas. "Evil Dead" opens on April 5, 2013.

EVIL DEAD 2 and EVIL DEAD 4 in the Works

I honestly had no hope that Fede Alvarez could pull off a solid remake of Sam Raimi's classic "Evil Dead". I was wrong. Early reviews have been overly enthusiastic and credit Alvarez with the achievements of both paying respect to Raimi's original and giving fans a fresh new approach to the franchise. If the box-office ends up confirming the hype, Alvarez could be on his way to directing a sequel.

With early reviews being so positive and everyone waiting for a sequel to be announced for the remake, nobody was expecting Sam Raimi to come out and say that he will be working on "Evil Dead 4" this summer. As I read the news, I was almost sure that Alvarez and his remake would be sidelined to make room for Raimi's sequel. But, it seems that is not the case, either.

In a recent interview, Fede Alvarez confirmed that they are working on "Evil Dead 2", but that they are in a very early stage with it and it's going to be entirely original, unrelated to the original films. In the end, he said, it depends on where the story goes and if they can agree on it. I personally think Alvarez has a good shot of directing the sequel in the end. He also went on to confirm that Raimi is serious about doing "Evil Dead 4" and he will be bringing Bruce Campbell back as Ash. Here are some fragments from the interview:

"I think it’s going to depend on where we take it. Right now, we just got to write it. For me, it’s if we manage to agree, but we’re just starting to build a story and figure out what kind of movie it’s going to be, and it depends on what it is. It depends on the story we find, because personally, I think it has to shock everybody. It has to go to a different place just like Army of Darkness did with Evil Dead 2. It has to do that switch that every Evil Dead movie did with the previous one.

Well, right now you have to create something different and completely new. And it’s exciting for me because in a long time, this, the new one—the next one—is going to be a completely new, fresh, 100% original, you bet. Because this one has so many ties to the first one that at the end of the day, being what it is, it’s like a sound of the original movie. But this next one, it’s not a remake of Evil Dead 2. It’s something completely new and different. I’m so excited to see where that’s going to go.

He wants to do it [Sam Raimi]. I can tell you that because we’ve talked about it. He wants to try and find the best movie to do it. He has a story, he pitched it to me about what he wants to do with Bruce and Ash on Evil Dead 4. It’s definitely something he wants to do. At the end of the day, bringing this saga back to life is the best way to do it. And look, they don’t call him “The Master” just because."
