The Evil Dead remake was left without a lead actress after Lily Collins departed from the project last month.  It's all good, however, because director Fede Alvarez filled in that empty role with Jane Levy.

The actress will play "Mia," a young woman trying to kick a drug addiction; her friends take her to a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead. An archaeologist's tape recording reveals that the ancient text was discovered among the Khandarian ruins of a Sumerian civilization.

Playing the taped incantations, the youths unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

From what I've seen of The River - ABC's new TV show from co-creator Oren Peli - things are looking really good.  This isn't based solely on previews.  I've caught a few decent chunks of the first episode and I was impressed; a full review is coming soon.

Today, ABC revealed a clip called "Lead Cameraman" that offers a look at the February 7th premiere.  Two back to back episodes will air on that date from 9pm-11pm.  Bruce Greenwood, Joe Anderson, Paul Blackthorne, Paulina Gaitan, Leslie Hope, Eloise Mumford, Shaun Parkes, Thomas Kretschmann and Daniel Zacapa star.

The River concerns the search for a famed explorer who goes missing on the Amazon.  His family - with a television crew - embark on a mission to rescue him.  Creep stuff ensues.

IFC Films has announced an April 20th release date for The Moth Diaries, the latest film from American Psycho director Mary Harron.  Starring Sarah Bolger, Scott Speedman, Sarah Gadon and Lily Cole, the film is based on the novel by Rachel Klein.  Head inside for a full synopsis.

Sometimes I feel like with The Walking Dead there are some character moments, dialogue and general story beats that make it feel lacking. But I will say this about Robert Kirkman, he does know how to get people excited by teasing something.

As you can see in this new image, courtesy of Comic Book Resources, teasing what we can only assume will be the next story arc in the series, it looks like there's going to be another non-zombie threat on the horizon for our heroes. 

The most recent issue, number 93, began a new arc, "A Larger World Part 1," and they're on track to have number 96 serve as the closing chapter of the upcoming Volume 16 trade paperback.  

Official details have been released for Riddick, which is currently shooting in Montreal for One Race Films and Radar Pictures.

Read on for all of the juicy details, including a revised plot synopsis and casting update.  Who's coming back?  We've got the details...

The latest chapter of the saga that began with 2000's hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise).  Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless.  Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered.  The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. 

Just how important are "the woods" to an Evil Dead film?  Pretty goddamn important.  The environment certainly sets the atmosphere for this cabin in the woods tale.  Today, director Fede Alvarez shared a glimpse, via Twitter, at the locale he is using for his remake of The Evil Dead.  It's just a tease, but we'll take it!
