‘EVIL DEAD’ Gets its Ash/Mia?

We previously got an exclusive scoop about some actresses that auditioned for roles in the upcoming Evil Dead remake. Now, Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Lily Collins is in final negotiations for the role of Mia. As previously reported by Bloody Disgusting, Mia will be taking a Ash-esque role as there is no Ash in this remake. From what we have heard, there are 5 characters in this remake/reboot: Eric, Olivia, David, Natalie and the aforementioned Mia. Per our sources, Lily hasn’t been mentioned as of yet so we are not sure if there was a private audition or if she auditioned at all. What we do know is that they are actually beginning auditions for the male roles today. If Mia is to take the head role/savior of the film, I would assume that they have solidified who will be playing Mia and will want said actress to audition/screen test with other cast members. The film shoot is supposed to start in March in New Zealand for a release on April 12, 2013. We have gone back to our source to see if we can pull out some more information on this piece of news as well as some more news and will keep you up to date.

Those who forgot, here is the synopsis of the remake/reboot:

Fede Alvarez directs from his own screenplay which was co-written with Rodo Sayagues with rewrites by Diablo Cody. Mia, a young woman struggling with sobriety, heads to a remote cabin with her brother and a group of friends, where the discovery of a Book of the Dead leads to danger and horror.
