Principal photography took place in March 2012 and wrapped in May in New Zealand outside of Auckland, lasting about a month. Much of the cast joined from January to February 2012. The project was officially announced in July 2011, with Ghost House Pictures producing it, Diablo Cody in the process of revising the script, and Fede Álvarez chosen as the director. Talks for a fourth Evil Dead film began in 2004, with original film actor Bruce Campbell about the possibility for a next film in the franchise. The story follows a group of five people under attack by a supernatural entity in a remote cabin in the woods. It stars Jane Levy, Shiloh Fernandez, Lou Taylor Pucci, Jessica Lucas, and Elizabeth Blackmore. Dubbed as a "re-imagining" of The Evil Dead (1981), the film is the fourth installment in the Evil Dead film series. Evil Dead is a 2013 American supernatural horror film directed by Fede Álvarez (in his feature directorial debut), who co-wrote the screenplay with Rodo Sayagues.
