WonderCon News
It's a good time to be an Evil Dead fan! In addition to the new film hitting theaters this Friday, plans are underway for a direct sequel to Sam Raimi's Army of Darkness, a second Fede Alvarez film and, if all goes according to plan, a seventh film that will combine both franchises and take on the Deadites once and for all.
Over the weekend, ShockTillYouDrop.com had five minutes to chat with director James Wan at WonderCon in Anaheim, California. There, he was presenting a couple of promo clips from his next feature film The Conjuring (get a detailed account of the clips here). Vera Farmiga ("Bates Motel") and Patrick Wilson (Insidious) star in the film as Lorraine and Ed Warren, paranormal investigators who are called upon by a family experiencing a dark force in their farmhouse.
WonderCon 2013 began its final day this morning with a panel celebrating Joss Whedon's indie Shakespeare adaptation Much Ado About Nothing, which is set to hit theaters June 7 from Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions. Joining Whedon himself on the stage were stars Riki Lindhome, Tom Lenk, Spencer Treat Clark, Sean Maher, Nick Kocher, Clark Gregg Jillian Morgese, Romy Rosemont and Brian McElhaney, along with cinematographer Jay Hunter.
Rounding out Sony Pictures' WonderCon presentation was a panel that previewed the apocalyptic comedy This is the End, which features the likes of Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Jonah Hill and many more actually playing themselves up against the end of the world.
Following quite a few warnings about the graphic content featured in the footage, Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead took to the WonderCon stage with Alvarez, producer and original franchise star Bruce Campbell and cast members Lou Taylor Pucci, Shiloh Fernandez, Jessica Lucas and Jane Levy.
Sony Pictures launched its WonderCon film presentation panels today with a look at the upcoming The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, based on the popular fantasy book series by Cassandra Clare.
