'Saw' Sequels On The Way, 'Evil Dead' Plot Revealed

      If you thought "Saw 3D" was going to be the last installment of the gory franchise, then you might want to sit down for this news. The rest of us can stand, because we saw this coming a mile away — every diehard horror fan knows that a movie claiming to be the "final" installment isn't really finished for good!
Lionsgate has just revealed that a new "Saw" flick is on the way. Vice Chairman Michael Burns got a little chatty about the company's big moneymaker. "I'm sure, some day, you'll see 'Saw' back in the picture," Burns said.
      It makes sense, at least financially; Lionsgate has a potential franchise in "Hunger Games," but could certainly use backup from the reliable "Saw" series. From a fan standpoint, anyone who watched James Wan's "Insidious" could have guessed this was coming. Some of you may have spotted the chalk-drawn Billy the Puppet with an "8" underneath him on the blackboard in one scene.

      "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho" is finally moving forward at Fox Searchlight. The project was trapped in development hell for four years at Paramount, but the film that follows the macabre maestro on his journey in the horror world could be seeing an April production start date. Anthony Hopkins is set to play Hitchcock, with Helen Mirren playing his wife. Their relationship is another main narrative in the movie. Sacha Gervasi ("Anvil! The Story of Anvil") will direct the picture, which is based on a non-fiction book by Stephen Rebello. Are you happy to see the studio finally abide by the granddaddy of all horror dudes?
      If you've been wondering what the upcoming remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 horror classic, "Evil Dead," was going to be like, Moviehole recently shared a ton of plot details to appease your curiosity. Shooting starts in March in New Zealand, where the Fede Alvarez-directed movie (with writing revisions by "Jennifer's Body" scribe Diablo Cody) will take shape. Stop reading here if you want to avoid spoilers of any kind. "The redo plays it a lot more serious. These aren’t cartoonish heroes like Bruce Campbell’s Ash was in the original films, these are real folks with real world problems. And by golly are they in for some scary — not at all amusing s---," the breakdown begins.
