Yesterday, it was revealed that Shiloh Fernandez was cast in the lead role of the upcoming remake of The Evil Dead. Now, Deadline reports that Jane Levy - who's starred in Paramount's Fun Size, the ABC series Suburgatory and Showtime's Shameless - has been cast in the female lead in the Fede Alvarez-directed horror film. The role was previously held by Mirror Mirror's Lily Collins, who recently dropped out due to 'date issues'.

Levy's character, Mia, is essentially the female equivalent of Ash (played by Bruce Campbell in the original films, and will not feature in this new version), described as "one of five young people who head to the remote cabin where evil awaits. Recovering from a recent overdose, Mia is particularly vulnerable". Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert are producing the film.

The Evil Dead is set to hit theaters on April 12th, 2013.

Did she do any Maxim or FHM photoshoots?

What does her ass look like?

These are the questions that matter.

@analgriff - You're amusing...but it's only a matter of time before you're kicked off this site. So here's some advice when trolling to prolong your joyride:
1. Be surreptitious
2. Pace yourself
3. Camouflage your trolling with fallacy
4. Most importantly, try and sound passionate about defending your position. If you sound serious , people might pity you.

Burn bright my friend!

Do I still get the virgins?

Nick56 - 2/3/2012, 12:52 PM
@tricklove187 She looks better than Emma Stone.

@headlopper That's the problem with most trolls. Too "fast and furious", then they burn out too quickly. In the fine art of trolling one must always practice caution for the sake of self preservation.

Anyway, all further news of this terrible remake is dead to me. /ragequits

I really wish people would quit trying to be like grif.
It isn't funny.
It isn't cute.

It is ridiculous.

Yes, grif gets bashed, and all, and maybe you would like that.
But, everyone else hates it.


Onto this news...She is a pretty good actress.
She is adorable as well.
She does have similar features as Emma Stone!


I still don't want a remake though...

Caught a few episodes of her TV show Suburgatory (it's just before Modern Family) and she's okay.

She looks eerily like Emma Stone:

@sarahsatire - A fellow intellectual. God bless you!
Gusto - 2/3/2012, 1:07 PM
Would make a nice Gusto sandwich ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Gusto - 2/3/2012, 1:08 PM
damnit! not you lopper! keep dreamin'!
Gusto - 2/3/2012, 1:08 PM
Intellectual? Sarah's a girl, dude!
Gusto - 2/3/2012, 1:09 PM
Thank You! I'm here all week!
sarahsatire - 2/3/2012, 1:16 PM
Shouldn't you be prepping for bingo night, Gusto?
Gusto - 2/3/2012, 1:19 PM
Pffft...I'm always ready for bingo night, girlfriend!

No ash, no cash...from me.
leo888 - 2/3/2012, 1:34 PM
Put that girl naked and we have a movie....
CherryBomb - 2/3/2012, 1:40 PM
Really, her?
I'm kind of unimpressed. I haven't seen her show 'Suburgatory' - so I can't judge her skills.

I love Shiloh Fernandez, he's so beautiful and a pretty good actor. I would've liked to see him with Lily Collins :(
tweeeeenkies3 - 2/3/2012, 1:47 PM
@ChrryBomb...Agreed.

I don't mind Jane. She is ok.

But, Lily is MUCH better!
She is a better actress, and much prettier!

Shiloh is pretty good!
He was getting a lot of hate on here, but I just didn't comment, because I actually don't mind him.
CherryBomb - 2/3/2012, 2:42 PM

@Tweeenkies3

Yeah, Jane's a very pretty girl, but she's no Lily Collins. Lily isn't that well known, but she's more known than Jane, so I'm kinda shocked.

Shiloh is sooo cute! I loved him in his Cold Case episode, he was great in 'Skateland' - a good movie!
tweeeeenkies3 - 2/3/2012, 2:48 PM
@cherryBomb...

Lily is amazing! I wish she would get more recognition, for her acting skills!
She has a great future ahead of her!

I actually liked the Red Riding Hood movie...He was very cool and mysterious in it.
So, I do like him.
And, on film he does not look girly like everyone was saying. He is a good looking guy!

Remakes, remakes, remakes... I've had enough of them.
