Fede Alvarez is riding high right now after topping the box office two weeks in a row with his horror/thriller Don’t Breathe (review), which I personally loved.
A few days ago, Alvarez was interviewed by Altapeli, where he spoke about the film and also his previous film, 2013’s Evil Dead, where he let slip something very exciting…
“[The ‘Evil Dead’] extended cut will come out on blu-ray. Just a few hours ago we talked about the study and it seems that Halloween will be available,” Alvarez tells the site. An extended version aired in the UK back in early 2015 but was a mistake as the distributor apparently sent the wrong master for broadcasting purposes.
This is exciting news as fans have been wanting an extended version ever since the film came out and it looks like now it’s going to happen! We’ll be keeping our eyes and ears open for an official announcement with a release date.
