The Evil Dead gets a release date!

Via Movie Web

Evil Dead landed a home at Sony and Film District last month, and now the partners have set a release date of April 12, 2013. Let the rejoicing commence.

A lot of folks are against this remake, admittingly I was among them, but Sam Raimi, Robert G. Tapert and Bruce Campbell, the guys behind the original franchise, are producing, so I'm willing to give it a chance. Directing will be Federico Alvarez who co wrote the script with Rodolfo Sayagues.

Diablo Cody has been working on rewriting the script, and she's been quoted as saying that the remake is "unbelievably violent." The story revolves around a group of friends who venture up to a remote cabin, where they discover the Book of the Dead. They must fight to survive when a demonic force is unleashed after the book is read. Movie Web has been reporting that the lead character is bringing his sister to the cabin to help her kick her drug habit.

Honestly, they had me at Bruce Campbell.

Production is scheduled to begin in early 2012.

The Evil Dead comes to theaters April 12th, 2013.
