“I need to have strong characters. I need to have a big statement. I need to have an intelligent movie or smart movie. And after, as soon as I have this, I will be able to do something crazy and with a lot of Deadites and things like that, and to have a strong movie,” said  Vaniček in an interview withComicBook. “But I need to have a really strong basis and I think that the strong basis is in Sam Raimi’s work, so I’m trying to take the best of every part of even that.”

The upcoming spin-off wasannounced earlier this yearunder Raimi and Robert Tapert’s Ghost House Pictures banner. No official plotline or cast list has been revealed at this time, but if Vaniček does indeed take the best aspects of the previous movies, we cannot wait to see what he has in store.

Vaniček’s Evil Dead spin-off does not yet have a release date. Evil Dead and Evil Dead Rise are available to watch on Netflix now. For more, check out our list of thebest horror movies, or keep up to date withupcoming horror moviesheading your way this year.
