Overview
- Producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert have said Evil Dead Wrath is a chronological prequel set in 1972, filming reportedly finished in New Zealand and the film is scheduled to open in theaters on April 7, 2028.
- Writer‑director Francis Galluppi describes the story as following a French woman in a troubled marriage in America with an abusive husband and hostile in‑laws who do not believe her.
- Tapert and Galluppi say the production will emulate the warm, tungsten look of Ektachrome 100 film stock to recreate 1970s cinematography and favor a deliberate, Tarantino‑esque pacing.
- Trade reports list Charlotte Hope, Jessica McNamee, Zach Gilford, Josh Helman, Ella Newton, Elizabeth Cullen and Ella Oliphant among the principal cast and name Bruce Campbell and Lee Cronin as executive producers.
- Producers warn the film’s coming‑of‑age sexual material may prompt rating issues and the project is part of a planned multi‑release strategy that will let different directors explore distinct tones across the franchise.
