RIP: Ian Abercrombie Dies at 77

Ian Abercrombie, a busy character actor who gained recognition as Elaine Benes’ (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) eccentric boss Mr. Pitt on NBC’s Seinfeld, died Thursday in Hollywood. He was 77.

Abercrombie seemed to be always working, appearing in scores of films, TV shows and theater productions during his 50-year-plus career in show business. The British actor made his American stage debut in 1955 in a production of Stalag 17 opposite Jason Robards, played the Wise Man in Sam Raimi’s comedy-horror film Army of Darkness (1992) and was 800-year-old wizard Professor Crumbs on Disney Channel hit Wizards of Waverly Place.

Lily Collins Drops Out of THE EVIL DEAD Remake

Fede Alvarez‘ remake of Sam Raimi‘s The Evil Dead has lost its star. While things looked to be moving quickly, Variety’s Jeff Sneider now reports that Lily Collins has had to withdraw from the project due to scheduling issues. The only other project on her slate (that we know of) is the adaptation of The Mortal Instruments, so it’s possible that the shooting schedule for that film is the culprit. Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell are all producing the update based on Raimi’s 1981 horror film, and they hand-selected Alvarez to direct. Plot details are still scarce at this point, but Diablo Cody (who did some rewrite work on the script) described the project as “unbelievably violent.”

The lead in the remake will undoubtedly be a coveted role, so it’ll be interesting to see who steps in to replace Collins. The Abduction actress will next be seen in Tarsem Singh’s Snow White pic Mirror Mirror. The Evil Dead is slated for April 12th, 2013.

Evil Dead: The Musical continues in Las Vegas

Press release info from Director Sirc Michaels:

"Grade: A" - Las Vegas Review Journal

"4 Stars" - Las Vegas Weekly

"Get the F@#k over to the Onyx and check out Evil Dead the Musical!" - David Hardy, Arts Vegas

"...It's as if the authors and director said, 'Let's do everything onstage that our drama teachers, ministers and parents said we must never do.' It's liberating." - Anthony Del Valle, Las Vegas Review Journal

"I would absolutely say Go See It." - LVTAPS

"A damn good time" - Garrett Estrada, The Rebel Yell

You asked for it, so we're bringing EVIL DEAD THE MUSICAL back for a limited 4 weekend run. That's 8 performances for you to get your "groovy" on! The show is returning with all the camp, all the excitement, all the energy you want, and with an expanded splatter zone!

For those who don't know, this hilarious live stage show takes all the elements of the cult classic horror films, Evil Dead 1, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness then combines them to make one of the craziest theatrical experiences of all time.

Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons are telling bad jokes... and all to music.

You don't need to be a fan of Evil Dead to love this show. You don't need to be a fan of horror to love this show. You don't even need to be a fan of musicals to love this show. As long as you like having fun... this show is for you.
