Prepare to swallow your soul in shock.

Up-and-comer Lily Collins won’t be dead by dawn in Ghosthouse Pictures’ upcoming reboot of Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic The Evil Dead. According to Bloody-Disgusting, Collins has scored the lead role of Mia, a character meant to replace original protagonist Ash Williams, famously played by the mighty Bruce Campbell.

Fede Alverez, an aspiring Uruguayan filmmaker who caught Raimi’s attention with an ambitious four-minute-plus sci-fi short entitled Panic Attack, is directing the remake from his own script, punched up by Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body).

Collins, who starred in last year’s post-apocalyptic-vampire-frightener Priest, is also toplining Tarsem Singh’s (The Immortals) Snow White re-imagining Mirror, Mirror and Screen Gems’ The Mortal Instruments, an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s romantic, young-adult demon-slayer book series.

The Evil Dead will rise again on April 12, 2013.
