Director of the upcoming Evil Dead spin-off movie Sébastien Vaniček has confirmed that he is in the early stages of scripting the story, teasing that the horror flick will make "a big statement," whilst also taking into account the legacy left by the franchise’s past directors, including Evil Dead creator Sam Raimi.
"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 with ComicBook. "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."
