By Francis Galluppi (“The Last Stop in Yuma County”) has been set to write and direct the next “Evil Dead” at Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert’s Ghost House Pictures.
No specifics of the plot are available and no other personnel involved have been revealed as it’s said to be early days according to Deadline who broke the news.
The project is said to be an original story that Galluppi developed and brought to Raimi and team who sparked to the idea.
In a statement, Rami says: “Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence. He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
The film will follow on from the most recent film, the standalone “Evil Dead Rise” which grossed more than $147 million worldwide last year.
The project is also not to be confused with “Infested” director Sebastien Vaniček’s new spin-off of the franchise which is also in the works.
