EXCLUSIVE: Jane Levy is in talks to play the lead in the remake of Evil Dead that Fede Alvarez will direct shortly. She replaces Lily Collins, who exited the film recently. Levy is the star of the ABC series Suburgatory, and stars in Fun Size, the Josh Schwartz-directed film for Paramount.

In FilmDistrict’s remake of Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead, Levy’s plays Mia, a character that corresponds to Ash, who was played by Bruce Campbell in the original 1981 movie. Mia is one of five young people who head to the remote cabin where evil awaits. Recovering from a recent overdose, Mia is particularly vulnerable. Raimi, Campbell and Rob Tapert are producing with Ghost House Pictures.

I'm not intrigued. But I'm keeping my eye on this. The Evil Dead is a great movie.

So no Bruce Campbell as Ash?

All of Hollywood should die in a house fire for this outrage. I shall blog about my displeasure.

Well, Campbell is still producing the movie, isn't he? He probably feels he's too old to keep playing the role.

Whoa, a female Ash? At least, it will be different, whether good or not.

Maybe that is a way to separate Bruce Campbell and the new lead. If you think about it, changing the gender can put another degree of separation between the two roles.
