Evil Dead Rise: A John Wick Prequel? A funny idea from a horror movie director

Who would have thought that the Evil Dead and John Wick could be associated in the same sentence? In addition to reviewing the week’s releases, the box office or the possible arrival of Bruce Campbell in the action saga of Keanu Reeves.

But that’s what Lee Cronin, director of Evil Dead Rise, did during an interview SlashFilm And in which he conjures up ideas for a sequel or prequel to the opus that hits our theaters on April 19.

“For me, the idea was that this power cannot be destroyed.”The director explains. “Even if there’s something on the side of all the craziness that’s happened, that power can prevail and somehow last. That’s an advantage.”

“There’s also a second story that takes place a hundred years in the past that intersects. And that story can be used to tell what’s behind this vinyl. We can go back in time. Priest vs. The Hundred Dead. ‘John Wick the Evil Dead.'”

“The challenge for me was to move the cursor in this world, to expand its horizons in a different way. I hope I succeeded. I also left some doors open to come in (…) I wanted to show the fans that I understood the world and where it was, but Also what’s changing and where are we going. We’re going somewhere else.”

There are some pretty heavy remains in the building that could affect other unsuspecting characters

“Also there’s this story that happens ten minutes later, about those who are going to make it out alive. And what to do with the authorities who show up at the building and discover the carnage that’s going on there. If you remember, there’s some pretty heavy remains in the building that might to influence other unsuspecting characters.”

Thus, the doors to the evil world of Evil Dead are still open, and now it remains to determine what the next direction will be. And if this idea of ​​John Wick remains a mere joke or leads to something then Bruce Campbell, the producer of this new opus, has just confirmed that other films will see the light of day.
