Get out of the isolated cabin in the forest of the previous opus, this time the horror takes place in a building in Los Angeles. This is the script of Evil Dead Rise, directed by the Irishman Lee Cronin, who has the difficult task of relaunching the famous saga initiated by Sam Raimi.
After Bruce Campbell’s original trilogy and Fede Alvarez’s remake, which came out ten years ago, there is room for new characters: we follow Beth, a young woman who visits her sister Ellie, who is raising her three children alone. But their reunion turns into a nightmare when they discover a mysterious book in the building’s basement, reading it will release the demons that possess Ellie. Then he turns into a terrible monster and does not hesitate to attack his own family.
Ellie is played by Alice Sutherland, a former model from Brisbane, Australia. From the age of 15, she was on the cover of several fashion magazines. She then moved to New York to pursue her career and appeared in several advertising campaigns for prestigious brands such as Chanel, Bulgari and Calvin Klein.
He took his first steps in comedy in 2006, and in the fashion world he is familiar with, The Devil Wears Prada, along with Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway. He continues to appear in the New Amsterdam and New York SVU series, as well as the indie films The Fortune Theory and Spencer.
Alice Sutherland in “Vikings”
In 2013, he landed the role that would make him known to the general public, Aslaug Sigurdottir, who would become Queen Aslaug, in the series Vikings. The latter, in addition to being the second wife of the warrior, hero and king of Denmark, Ragnar Sigurdsson, can also predict the future through visions. A role that he will play for three seasons.
In 2017, he continued with another series, The Mist, adapted from the novel by Stephen King. She plays Eva Cunningham, a mother who does everything she can to protect her teenage daughter from the dangers of the fog. But the show neither convinced the public nor the critics and was canceled after one season. We find Alice Sutherland for an episode of Timeless, where she lends her features to Hedy Lamarr, the charming actress who invented the scientific principle used today for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technologies.
With Evil Dead Rise, he radically changes register and shines in a particularly physical role, for which he had to prepare with the main stuntman Stuart Thorpe: “I’ve found that focusing on the precision of the choreography during a performance is a bit like holding your head with your hand while rubbing your belly with your other hand.”. In the deluge of gore effects, the actor has not forgotten the main thing: to have fun. “Don’t take yourself too seriously. This is an Evil Dead movie. It’s supposed to be fun. It’s meant to be fun, and it’s a privilege to be a part of a franchise like this.”he says Collider.
