Jane Levy To Topline The Evil Dead Remake

Even more casting news is coming in today for Fede Alvarez’s upcoming remake of The Evil Dead and perhaps they have found their leading lady, but for how long this time?

According to Deadline, Jane Levy is currently in talks to play the female lead in the film. Levy replaces Lily Collins as the role of Mia since Collins had to exit the remake due to scheduling conflicts.

“Levy plays Mia, a character that corresponds to Ash, who was played by Bruce Campbell in the original 1981 movie. Mia is one of five young people who head to the remote cabin where evil awaits. Recovering from a recent overdose, Mia is particularly vulnerable.”

The Evil Dead remake opens in theatres on April 12, 2013.
