Evil Dead reboot gets a director in Federico Alvarez

*Honestly, you wait 19 years for one _Evil Dead_, and then two come
screaming at you at once.*

First things first. According to _Bloody Disgusting_, the long-touted
_Evil Dead_ reboot has just landed a director in Federico Alvarez.

Who, you ask? And well you might. All we know about Alvarez is that he
hails from Uruguay and he’s yet to direct a feature film.

He does have a handful of genre shorts in the bag, though, which must
be what caught producer Sam Raimi and Ghost House Pictures’
eyes.

Alvarez is definitely a left-field choice, but going on those shorts,
he could just be the man for the job. There’s also something
pleasingly fitting about a young upstart making _Evil Dead_ his first
feature gig – not unlike Raimi himself.

As for _Evil Dead 4_, according to the franchise’s rock
‘n’ roll star Bruce Campbell, it’s almost ready to
enter into production.

Yesterday the cult legend tweeted: “Believe in the remake, dawg!
The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell.”

Meanwhile, _Dread Central_ reports that _Army Of Darkness_ editor Bob
Murawski has gone to Detroit to begin working on the film, which will
apparently be a “small indie” thing like the first two
films.

With all this _Evil Dead_ news, it's being to feel a lot like
Christmas...
