During a Q&A at the Torino Film Festival, Sharon Stone criticized director Sam Raimi for lacking loyalty after their collaboration on the 1995 film "The Quick and the Dead." Stone, who helped elevate Raimi's career, contrasted his behavior with Martin Scorsese's, highlighting Scorsese's ongoing professional relationship with her. Stone also discussed the challenges she faced in Hollywood due to sexism, which hindered her directorial ambitions despite her successful production work.
Director Lee Cronin has revealed that he has discussed the possibility of a crossover film between the different storylines within the Evil Dead franchise with Sam Raimi and Fede Alvarez. While acknowledging that any such project would be "definitely way off on the horizon," Cronin said he wouldn't be surprised if something like that came together. The original Evil Dead timeline started with Raimi's The Evil Dead in 1981, starring Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams.
Lee Cronin, the writer and director of "Evil Dead Rise," the fifth installment in the horror series, used 6,500 liters of real, sticky, cooked movie blood on set to make blood a character in the film. Cronin's vision is a heartfelt story about a mother, her sister, and her three children fighting for survival in a large apartment complex. Sam Raimi, the director of the original "Evil Dead," advised Cronin to make sure the Deadites are really scary and use the book. The film premiered at SXSW and has been scaring audiences.
Despite a lackluster fan reception, "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" still made a profit of $284M after all ancillaries. The film posted the biggest global and domestic opening at the box office last year and was one of only five movies to exceed $900M in global ticket sales. Directed by Sam Raimi, the sequel was a hodgepodge of part season finale to Disney+’s WandaVision, part sequel to 2016’s Doctor Strange, and part attempt to bring more horror elements to the franchise.
Bruce Campbell shut down a heckler who said "Evil Dead Rise" sucks during the film's SXSW screening. The film is a sequel/reboot to the franchise that follows Beth, a road-weary traveler who visits her older sister Ellie. The film stands alone from Sam Raimi's trilogy starring Bruce Campbell as Ash as well as the television series continuation "Ash vs. Evil Dead." Campbell doesn't appear in "Evil Dead Rise," which is directed by Lee Cronin, but he executive produced.
