The EVIL DEAD reboot may have lost Lilly Collins recently, and while they’ve yet to recast the role of Mia, producers Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert and Bruce Campbell have found their male lead in the form of Shiloh Fernandez.

While far from a household name, Fernandez may be familiar to Starburst readers who were brave enough to sit through last year’s RED RIDING HOOD. That’s two of you then.

Here’s a candid shot of the actor…

 

No word on who Fernandez will be playing, but looking at that photo we just hope he’s one of the first to go. Or get bummed by a tree.

If you haven’t already, check out the official synopsis…

Mia and David, estranged siblings who have recently lost their mother (Mia’s taking it the hardest being that she’s the one who spent most days at the hospital watching her mother deteriorate) have reunited, along with some old friends and his David’s fiancee, for an intervention at THAT old cabin. It’s here that the near rehabilitated Mia will also toss the last of her drugs down the well and finally go cold turkey.

EVIL DEAD opens April 13th 2013, with Fede Alvarez making his feature film directorial debut.
