Lee Cronin talks Evil Dead Rise at SXSW 2023.
The Big Picture Director Lee Cronin made waves with his 2023 film Evil Dead Rise, and we now know when he will be frightening audiences with a new project. Warner Bros.' New Line Cinema has set Cronin's next film for an April 17, 2026, release, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Cronin is also writing the film in addition to directing. According to THR, it has been described as a "modern take on something ancient." No casting has been announced yet, but the project is seemingly in good hands with Atomic Monster/Blumhouse. Atomic Monster's James Wan and Blumhouse's Jason Blum are known for helming some of the most successful horror franchises of the past few years.
"I am super excited to be gathering up my gang of oddballs from Doppelgängers to join forces with the overlords of horror at Blumhouse and Atomic Monster. Collaborating with Jason, James and the wonderful teams from these two storied and massively successful organizations is what perfect nightmares are made of. Getting to return to New Line Cinema and my wonderful partners over there is the cherry on top.
'Evil Dead Rise' Became A Massive Success Cronin had made only one prior full-length film when he took the reigns of Evil Dead Rise, the fifth installment in the wildly popular Evil Dead series. The film, which starred Morgan Davies, Alyssa Sutherland, and Lily Sullivan, was originally set to premiere on Max, but Warner Bros.
Cronin is keeping himself busy, too; beyond this new film, the director is also collaborating with New Line on another horror thriller, Thaw. That film is set years after the polar ice caps have melted with concurrent rising sea levels. It centers on a group of survivors at sea searching for a new home. They discover an inhabitable town but encounter a new nightmare living just below the water's surface. No release window for that film has been set yet.
