Getting hyped for this while also feeling that the color palette is going to be a problem for me. In the BTS video, Vaniček and Tapert spoke about how important the concept of fire is to Burn, so I hope they'll crank up the saturation at least for the scenes with actual fire in them.

Per my critic friend who went to the press screening last night, it's somewhat brighter than it looks in the trailers but not by much.

French podcast interview with Florent Bernard et Sébastien Vaniček. And before anyone says "It's in French! I can't understand it!" Don't worry, as YouTube has automatically translated captions that turn French into English, so you can at least read along with what they're saying.
 
I have three teenage nephews and a teenage son that have gotten into horror movies recently. I showed them Evil Dead Rise the other night as an entry point for their generation, and they loved it. Now they want to all go see Evil Dead Burn together. I told them I'll take them all and pay for everything if they watch the original trilogy before Burn comes out. They've all watched at least one movie so far, and absolutely loved it.

I said this in a previous post, but I'm thrilled that these new movies are keeping the franchise alive with the younger generations and introducing them to the magic of the Raimi trilogy. Creating more Deadites!

Thank you for the heads' up!
 
The cast press junkets are in full swing. Here's a short text interview with the cast (from The AU Review). No spoilers in this one:
One of the things that struck me with the film is that grief is possession for these characters first, and then the deadites are almost secondary. Long before anything supernatural arrives, everyone is carrying guilt or resentment or love that hasn’t found a place to go. I wanted to ask all of you, did that change the way you approached the horror? Were you playing people haunted by demons? Or people already haunted by their own emotions before the evil dead showed up?

Souheila Yacoub: I tried to play the character who’s haunted by her husband, but I really didn’t want it to be that easy. Like a black-and-white situation. I wanted to find a way to play Alice as someone who’s in love with this guy, that it’s possible and it makes sense. That you’re not asking, “Why is she dating that man?” Before the demons and the deadites, I had to deal with a personal, human (issue) that happens in the world.

Hunter Doohan: Yeah, and I think for Joseph, he feels so much shame from the way his family treats him, and coming up with how I think what happened and the backstory. Then it becomes about the only thing that could make it worse is if they were literally trying to kill you (laughs).

Luciane Buchanan: I guess, for me…her introduction is just being so in love with (Joseph) and being really supportive, and then this unfortunate thing happens and she’s just trying to be there for him during his grief. Just be a supporter in that way. And then she does a big 180 later (laughs).

I will say that car sequence…that, to me, is kind of when the film really amps up. Basically, from then on, I was like, “This is disgusting!” These movies ask so much of its actors. The physical and emotional hell you are put through. You’re screaming at one another, you’re covered in blood, probably unrecognisable under prosthetics. Is there a point during filming where you think, “I completely trust these people now?”

Luciane Buchanan: Totally, yeah.

Hunter Doohan: It probably happened way too fast, because you’re just being thrown right into that stuff.

Luciane Buchanan: You just have to turn up for work every day, and you see what’s on the call sheet, what has to get done, and you just do your best. Our producer, Rob Tapert, kind of talked to us individually before we started, because this is the sixth (Evil Dead), right? They’ve done a TV show as well, and he’s like, “I’ve had actors walk into my office and say, ‘I’m done, this is a lot,'”, so he wanted us to please tell him before it got to that point. We’re thinking, “How bad could this be?” But I think anyone who’s been in an Evil Dead movie, we’ve got something, a commonality of an experience that is super unique.

Well, looking at the Evil Dead films up to this point, this one might be the grossest one. Like, this was violent to the point of being offensive!

Hunter Doohan: (Laughs) Everything that comes out of your mouth, it’s like, “Oh, he fucking hated this movie!”

Trust me, it’s high praise.

Luciane Buchanan: High praise, yeah.

Here is a video interview that's a little spoilery, with Hunter sporting an awesome Army of Darkness shirt:
 
Discord has a limited time "quest" point and click minigame called Evil Dead Burn: Deadite Rush. The game will no longer be playable by July 12th, so get in there and try to beat it under a minute (which really isn't that hard). There's lots of easter eggs to all the movies in there (like the Henrietta's Pizza box from Rise, the deer head, a cigarette ash tray with the name "Williams")
 
Take this with a grain of salt (or several):

I was wearing my Evil Dead 2 shirt today, and a worker at a store asked if I was excited for Burn. He said he saw an advanced screening back in February, which checks out since I live in the LA area. Of course, I asked how it was, and he said it was comparable to Rise in tone and violence, but the CGI and a few other elements still weren't complete when he saw it, so he didn't want to make a full opinion. He also said the 2013 movie was his favorite of the whole franchise (hence the salt), but Burn is violent and gory, as expected. I'm going to reserve my final judgement until I see it myself, but it sounds like Rise, Burn, and Wrath are turning into their own trilogy.

The AMAs were broken into two: one with Souheila and Hunter, and one with Sébastien alone. Sébastien's is definitely the more interesting of the two (IMO), so I will share his some of the best Q&As here. No spoilers.

Q: I've read that a very brutal scene was cut from the theatrical release, will there be a an unrated or directors cut released on streaming/DVD/Blu-ray?
S: It's not cut, it's just trimmed a little. I didn't cut anything completely from my director's cut because I simply didn't want that to happen. One of the scenes was a little too tricky for censorship and I had to just twist a little bit some things here and there, and do a bit of trimming. It's not less violent or less brutal, I promise. It's just that the edit is slightly different for the audience to be able to breathe a little bit before going back into the violence. Without the trim it was just pure brutality and violence without break for like, a really long time haha. But the scene is still here and it's not at all far away from the original.

Q: Sam Raimi handpicked you after seeing your debut Infested. How was the development process with Raimi afterwards?
S: It was pretty simple because I basically wrote the movie as if it was my own, as if it wasn't even in a franchise. Sam gave me all of the freedom I needed. He was there in case I had question and he was there in case I needed. After I wrote the script, I had a meeting with him where we read the whole script together and then he asked me questions, to be sure he understood the movie and things like that. He was classy about everything, giving me the freedom I needed. It was one director to another, saying he trusted me.

Q: What's your favourite evil dead movie?
S: I must admit that there's a battle between EVIL DEAD 2 and EVIL DEAD (2013). Both are two completely different movies. If you forced me to pick one, my love would be with Fede's movie, because that's the first one I discovered and the first one that shocked me.

Q: The poster of Infested and Evil Dead Burn have similar imagery. Was this a conscious decision or a coincidence?
S: The poster for VERMINE (INFESTED) is actually my own. I made it and drew it myself. It's pretty funny that the one from EVIL DEAD BURN was done by the marketing at Warner Bros and ended up looking alike, but that's not my decision. I don't have any input with that side of things, I tried but they nicely told me "do your job as a director and we will do ours to sell the movie" haha.

Q: What's your opinion on why the EVIL DEAD franchise has wholesale removed the campy/comedy/stylized element to focus on gore and brutality? Do you think that mix does not do well for true horror then?
S: I think that nobody wants to step where Sam Raimi stepped. That's a style you can't just copy. Nobody wants to try and mimic Sam Raimi's work. But there is some humor in my movie, definitely.

Q: Would you be open to directing an Evil Dead movie based in Europe? And what country would you choose for the setting?
S: I think I can do only one Evil Dead, and every director except Sam Raimi can do only one Evil Dead. If you have the chance, just do one and leave. My movie is pretty European already. You will see when you will watch it, but there are a lot of nods to Europe, and I think that's enough. I think Americans won't like it if it was more than that.

Q: When creating your protagonist Alice, how do you want her to stand out in comparison to other Evil Dead protagonists like Ash, Mia or Beth?
S: No one wants to step on Ash or do anything with Ash, so we leave Ash alone. That's why I think for the moment we have what I would say are "final girls". Ash is the only male hero for the moment, and nobody wants to try and replace Ash. Regarding my character, Alice, I wanted to have someone really, really grounded, and someone with a lot of weaknesses, paradoxes. A character that's kind of complex, not manicured, she's not fully white/black at the beginning of the movie, she's gray. Some people will say, "oh, because she's a French girl, she's a Parisian in the middle of all these Americans", but for me it's more like she's really more grounded. That's the only thing I wanted to create to make the connection between the audience and her even more important. I think the audience will connect to her because of how she's reacting to things.

Q: Is there really an Evil Dead Bible, or did you take it upon yourself to tie into the greater lore and mythology? Fede said 2013 followed ED1 only, what's your stance on that in your mythology with your film.
S: I heard a rumor that I can share that Sam Raimi's brother is writing an Evil Dead Bible, but that's only a rumor. I don't know if that's true, but I heard it. Otherwise, to answer the question, I didn't have anything to follow really. When they hired me, they just told me, "write your own story". But of course I wanted in my movie to acknowledge all the movies that were done before, so that's why there are connections to the other movies. All those movies do exist in my movie. The Book of the Dead, things like that, they exist, and my movie is trying to connect these things together. It's not easy because I can say that things might be a kind of a mess regarding the whole universe haha, but I think fans will find a lot of easter eggs and a lot of connections.

Q: Did Rami let you borrow the car?
S: The Oldsmobile, yes! We had it, we hid it in the movie, so you have to keep an eye open to see it.
