We learned recently that the Evil Dead franchise, currently five movies and a TV series deep, was set to get a big expansion in the coming years with two more movies greenlit along with an animated movie starring the original Deadite slayer Ash Williams, played by the great Bruce Campbell.
But outside of this, we know very little about the movies. Until now.
Director of the skin-crawling Infestated Sébastien Vaniček is confirmed for one of the movies and has revealed that this will not be one of the funnier takes on the franchise ala Army of Darkness or Ash Vs Evil Dead but rather will be a white-knuckle terror ride, much like the recent Evil Dead Rise.

“I told the studio that I wanted to make a nasty film, a film that hurts, from which you come away tested,” said Vaniček, “I’m going to put all the horror I have inside, it will be cathartic, and if I haven’t ruined my career and I can continue to make films behind it, I will move on to something other than horror!”
Well, now we have a title for the new Evil Dead and, like Evil Dead: Rise, it’s dropping the number and going for the standalone title of Evil Dead: Burn.
Vaniček shared the title on social media, revealing he’s co-written it with Florent Bernard who also co-wrote Infested with him.
We’ll bring you more news as and when we get it…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
