The 'Evil Dead' Remake Is Rounding Out It's Cast...

With production rapidly approaching for the Evil Dead remake, a new cast member -- who, might I add, is very pleasant on the eyes -- has now been added to the cast of the film which is being developed by FilmDistrict and Ghost House.

According to The Hollywood Reporter,

Jesca Lucas, who was one of the stars of CW’s Melrose Place, is in talks to join the production, while relative newcomer Elizabeth Blackmore is already set for a role in the horror movie.

Fede Alvarez is in the director's seat for the remake, which sees five friends hole up in a cabin in a woods as one of them tries to undergo a drug withdrawal. Unfortunately, they discover a Book of the Dead and unleash demons.

Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez and Lou Taylor Pucci are already on board. If a deal makes, Lucas will play the best friend of the girl going through withdrawal (Levy) who is also a nurse. Blackmore is playing the fiancée of Fernandez and new to the group.

Production begins this April in New Zealand.

Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell will produce through Raimi's Ghost House Pictures banner.
