The first footage of the Evil Dead remake will be shown later today at NYCC and we'll have a live stream video player for you to watch within the next hour. Until then, take a look at the official logo for Evil Dead, as well as a banner that was posted to their recently launched Facebook page.

"Five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead and unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

A core cast of young, fresh talent includes Jane Levy (Suburgatory) as Mia; Shiloh Fernandez (Deadgirl, Red Riding Hood) as David; Lou Taylor Pucci (Carriers) as Eric; Jessica Lucas (Cloverfield) as Olivia and Elizabeth Blackmore (Legend of the Seeker) as Natalie."

The Evil Dead will be released to theaters on April 12th, 2013. Remember to check back in another hour for our live streaming player, which will let you see the Carrie, Evil Dead, and The Walking Dead panels at NYCC.
