Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: New Line, Classics, Horror, Remakes, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
Returning to his horror roots (let's forget that Drag Me to Hell ever happened, yes?), Sam Raimi is set to remake The Evil Dead.
The Spider-Man director - who rose to fame with the horror film in 1981 - is heading back to work on a remake of the project, which told the tale of a group of friends who head to a forest cabin and unleash a group of evil demons.
Bruce Campbell, who played lead character Ash Williams in the original movie and its follow ups Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness, confirmed the news via a Twitter question and answer session: "Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell.(sic)"
According to Dread Central, Sam is now heading to Detroit to begin work on the project, which will have a small budget and a similar feel to the original movie. Evil Dead has made approximately $29 million since its release, with funds of just $400,000.
Kristen Stewart to Play Snow White

Storybooks and Kristen Stewart are a perfect match. The dark-haired beauty is filming her last Twilight film even as we pine away for the release of Breaking Dawn, Part I, but the end of Bella is just the beginning for K-Stew. The actress has signed on to play Snow White, another raven-locked storybook heroine.
Stewart will play one of the titular roles in Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman, one of two Snow White movies currently in the works.
Producer Palak Patel is hoping to set a new tone for the old fairy tale with the casting decision. She explained it all on Twitter: “Clearly, [Kristen Stewart] isn’t right for the upbeat, song-happy Disney version of the character, but this movie is going to be dark and gritty.”
Then, it sounds like K-Stew really is the perfect choice. Stay up-to-date on this and other movie news when you follow FilmCrunch on Twitter.

If you’ve seen of the ads for the upcoming Facebook movie, it probably wasn’t while you were commenting on your friend’s status update.
That’s because Sony has decided not to promote The Social Network - an unflattering tale about the creation of Facebook - on the popular site at all.

David Yates Rumored to Direct The Hobbit
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: MGM, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Drama, Science Fiction, Casting, Filmmaking, Rumors, Upcoming Releases,
David Yates is being lined up as the new director for The Hobbit.
The Harry Potter filmmaker is reportedly the top replacement choice for studio MGM, as they search for a suitable candidate to oversee the highly-anticipated two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy tales - a prequel to The Lord of the Rings movies.
Previous director Guillermo del Toro pulled out of The Hobbit last month after continued delays with production, believed to be caused by studio MGM’s financial difficulties. Since then, David has been cited as the best candidate to replace him.
The English director has worked on the final three movies in the wizard franchise ,which he will continue working on until next year. This is expected to give MGM enough time to raise funds ahead of his involvement.
Meanwhile, Sir Ian McKellen - who is due to reprise his role as Gandalf in the fantasy prequel - took to his Twitter account recently to reassure fans the film won’t be affected by the change of director: “Hobbit sets are ready, script ready and movie is casting this month. Fans are not to worry. The films will get made. I suspect we’ll start shooting at end of this year. (sic)”
