Lily Collins drops out of Evil Dead remake

Bad news for those of you hoping to see a Phil Collins cameo as a big, bald Deadite in the upcoming Evil Dead reboot, as his daughter Lily has dropped out of the film's leading role.Collins had signed on to play recovering drug-addict Mia, whose attempts to wean herself off the narcotics are set to be complicated by the soul-sucking nastiest released by the Necronomicon.However, scheduling clashes with other projects have meant Collins has been forced to step down from the role. Variety's Jeff Sneider broke the news with the following Tweet: "Again, in case you missed it, LILY COLLINS is OUT of THE EVIL DEAD reboot due to a scheduling issue. Agents, start your engines..."The new film, directed by Fede Alvarez from a script worked on (in part) by Diablo Cody will maintain the basic set-up of the original (kids go to a creepy woodland cabin) whilst also taking it in some new directions.The official synopsis explains the differences as follows: "Mia and David, estranged siblings who have recently lost their mother (Mia's taking it the hardest being that she's the one who spent most days at the hospital watching her mother deteriorate) have reunited, along with some old friends and his David's fiancee, for an intervention at THAT old cabin. It's here that the near rehabilitated Mia will also toss the last of her drugs down the well and finally go cold turkey."The Evil Dead is set for a US release date of 13 April 2013, so plenty of time for a replacement to be found for Collins. As long as there's room for a Bruce Campbell cameo, we'll be happy...

Cinema Libre in zen zone on 'Pass'

'The Highest Pass'Cinema Libre Studio has acquired rights to Jon Fitzgerald's documentary "The Highest Pass," the story of seven seekers who follow a yogi on a motorcycle journey of self-discovery up through the highest pass of the Indian Himalayas. Cinema Libre acquired "Pass" at the Topanga Film Festival and plans a theatrical release in April in Los Angeles and NY. All rights except for foreign TV were acquired by Cinema Libre. Film centers on a modern yogi and guru, Anand Mehrotra, who bears the burden of a Vedic prophecy that predicts he will die in his late 20s in an accident. Adam Schomer, who organized the ride, produced and wrote. It's the second documentary for Fitzgerald following "The Back Nine." He's a former festival director of the American Film Institute, Santa Barbara Intl. Film Festival and Abu Dhabi Film Festival and one of the founders of the Slamdance Film Festival and recently launched Cinecause.com to connect socially relevant films to related causes. "My first film was turned down by Sundance, which is one of the reasons why Slamdance was founded," Fitzgerald said. "Recognizing that there is often a great value for niche films to play smaller festivals, we developed our fest strategy around specific regional events hoping to connect with the audiences. Finding a distributor at Topanga was icing on the cake." "Pass" won the Spotlight Award at Topanga and received the audience award at the San Diego Film Festival and the jury prize for Documentary at the Naples Intl. Film Festival. Schomer's documentary "When the Dust Settles," a look into the effects of nuclear testing on the children of Kazakhstan, is in post-production. Cinema Libre has released more than 100 titles, including "Fuel," "The End of Poverty?," "London River" and "South of the Border" and is developing "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" into a feature.
