Director Fede Alvarez Speaks In Great Detail About Evil Dead's Future, Ash, Plus More!

Our friends over at Dread Central had the opportunity to talk with director Fede Alvarez about his recent hit film "Evil Dead. There are a lot of questions that we all have been wanting answered pertaining to the remake and it's potential future. Alvarez really elaborates in grand detail. Finally we have some concrete answers.

"First on our agenda we wanted to know the scoop on if and when there will be an extended cut of the film released as an alternate extended veron was referenced in the Blu-ray commentary several times. "People are always asking me about the director's cut of the film," Alvarez tells us. "Honestly though, the veron out right now IS the director's cut. I feel it is the best cut of the movie and it's also my favorite. We really didn't cut much as the MPAA had us make only minimal trims, like when Jane cut her tongue in half, we could only show that for two seconds instead of three. They didn't want us to over-expose the film's violence so if you only see things like that for a couple of seconds then you most likely wont become a homicidal maniac and go on a rampage."

"As for Ash's character showing up at the film's end and the gnificance of the scene, "When we initially got together to start production on the movie I was all about getting in cameos for Ted Raimi and Bruce Campbell and anyone else we could get in there. Sam immediately stepped in though and encouraged me to leave those characters alone and make my own movie and I think we benefited from that advice immensely. Still, we did get the Ash character in at the very end like a hidden track on a CD and my intention with that was to let the audience know Ash is still out there and he knows what's going on. We originally had a moment written where Ash would find Jane Levy's character wandering the road, but it was never filmed because Bruce was unavailable. The moment you seen at the end of the flick was very spur of the moment. We shot in in an office ung only borrowed lamps for lighting."

"Fede continues, "For the next movie I want to continue the story laid out by my first film. I just don't want to get five new kids and throw them into the cabin. Who knows? Maybe Jane and Ash will meet up? Maybe Jane will be attacked in the woods and die at the beginning of the second one. We're still in the very early stages of talking about it. I want to continue to add to the mythology and make my own movie and revere the film's that have come before it."
