A brand new Evil Useless spin-off movie is within the works, with Sébastien Vaniček reportedly hooked up to direct and co-write the venture.
Deadline experiences that Vaniček, who made his characteristic debut with the skin-crawling French horror movie Infested (aka Vermines) final 12 months, was employed to helm the following entry within the Evil Useless franchise for Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert’s Ghost Home Footage shortly after he signed with the Artistic Artists Company (CAA) for illustration.
“Particulars as to the movie’s plot are underneath wraps,” the outlet notes, however it’s the subsequent installment after final 12 months’s standalone sequel Evil Useless Rise, which was solely the second movie to desert the franchise’s iconic cabin setting. It proved standard with followers and critics, grossing over $147 million on the worldwide field workplace.
The unique Evil Useless timeline, after all, began with Raimi’s The Evil Useless in 1981, starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams. That film spawned two sequels and a Showtime collection that lasted three seasons earlier than the franchise bought a mushy reboot on the characteristic aspect in 2013 with Evil Useless, starring Jane Levy’s Mia Allen.
It will likely be fascinating to see how Vaniček’s upcoming entry matches into the wildly standard franchise and which route it in the end goes in, because the filmmaker’s debut characteristic seemingly grew to become the topic of some nightmares after premiering on the Venice Movie Competition final 12 months and later displaying up at Unbelievable Fest in Austin.
Shudder bought Infested earlier than it accomplished its pageant run, whereas Evil Useless Rise is at present streaming on Max.
