'Evil Dead In Concert' Launches U.S. Tour This Fall
Black Ink Presents, a division of Terrapin Station Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment, today announced its next live-to-film production that resurrects Sam Raimi's beloved cult classic in a way audiences have never seen before — in this lifetime. Evil Dead In Concert (www.evildeadinconcert.com) launches September 22 in Buffalo, New York as screams meet strings in 50 cities this fall, including a special three night event in Los Angeles for Halloween. The screening of the legendary cult film in a newly restored format is brought to life on stage while a live ensemble performs the entire original musical score from composer Joe LoDuca. Tickets go on sale this Friday, June 13th.
'The ultimate horror movie concert experience has arrived with a night of cinematic chaos, demonic energy, and killer sounds,' says John Kinsner, CEO of Black Ink Presents, the producer of 'Evil Dead In Concert.' Kinsner, a fellow horror enthusiast and fan of the film franchise, adds 'It's not every day you get to watch someone chainsaw a demon while a live ensemble performs.'
Evil Dead follows five college students on vacation in an isolated cabin in the woods, where they unwittingly release absolute evil into the world and have to fight to survive. It is known as one of the most significant cult horror films of all time, and has generated a massive following worldwide since the film's theatrical release on October 15, 1981. LoDuca's score is orchestral but experimental, blending eerie strings, pounding percussion, and screeching sound effects to emphasize dread and supernatural chaos.
'I am so excited for audiences around the country to join us on an intense, aural descent into hell with this beautiful score and all its madness,' says LoDuca, who began his film career by composing the iconic score for director Raimi. Remarkably, it was his first film score. Following the success of Evil Dead, he became a frequent collaborator with Raimi and went on to win multiple Emmys for his scoring work. Most recently, he released a reimagined version of the original Evil Dead score called 'Evil Dead: A Nightmare Reimagined,' where he re-recorded and expanded on the original musical themes of the movie.
Black Ink Presents is known for its extensive history of breathing new life into iconic films with symphonies, orchestras, or bands live on stage, including Labyrinth, Batman , Ghostbusters , The Nightmare Before Christmas , Rocketman , La La Land , and more.

Brad Garrett Signs with Gersh for Voiceover Representation (EXCLUSIVE)
Actor Brad Garrett has signed with Gersh for voiceover representation, including animated features and series, gaming and voiceover branding. This announcement follows last week's launch of Gersh Voice, headed by veteran voice agent Pam Goldman. More from Variety Children's Media Company Totoy Signs with Gersh, Sets 'José Totoy' Feature Film Jeffrey Donovan Signs With Gersh (EXCLUSIVE) Gersh Hires Pamela Goldman as Head of Voice Garrett has brought to life dozens of beloved characters across some of the most popular animated films, including in Pixar's 'Finding Nemo,' 'Ratatouille,' 'A Bug's Life,' 'Finding Dory,' and the upcoming film 'Elio,' as well as Disney's 'Tangled' and 'Planes,' and 'The Night at the Museum' franchise. His other notable voice credits include 'Casper' and the voice of Eeyore in 'Christopher Robin' and 'Ralph Breaks the Internet.' On screen, Garrett won three Emmy Awards for his performance in 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' and also starred in ''Til Death,' 'Single Parents,' 'Gleason' and 'Fargo.' Along with Gersh, Garrett is represented by Entertainment 360, UTA, & Gendler, Kelly & Cunningham. The launch of Gersh Voice follows a recent series of strategic moves by Gersh that have doubled the agency's size and expanded its presence to 16 countries. The agency's growth plan began following a 2023 equity investment from Crestview Partners. In 2024, Gersh acquired two A3 departments — forming Gersh Digital and expanding its Alternative department — and the global sports and entertainment agency You First, which established Gersh as a player in worldwide sports representation. That momentum continued in 2025 with the elevation of Leslie Siebert to president, formalizing a leadership structure focused on collaboration, client success and continued agency growth. Earlier this year, Gersh announced that it had hired veteran agent Bonnie Bernstein, who joined the agency from CAA.

‘Everybody Loves Raymond' Star Brad Garrett Says the Sitcom Will ‘Never' Be Rebooted: ‘There Is No Show Without the Parents'
Brad Garrett is shutting down rumors of an 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' While at the premiere of Disney Pixar's 'Elio' on June 10, Garrett spoke with People magazine about whether the sitcom would be rebooted. The actor, who played Ray Romano's brother in the series, confirmed that there won't be a revival of the show after speaking with Romano and Philip Rosenthal, the show's creator. More from Variety Brad Garrett Signs with Gersh for Voiceover Representation (EXCLUSIVE) Ray Romano Says Reviving 'Everybody Loves Raymond' Is 'Out of the Question': Reboots Are 'Never as Good' Patricia Arquette Sets the Tone for Noisy, Chaotic PI Comedy 'High Desert': TV Review Garrett said that the main reason behind the decision is because of the death of Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts, two actors who played Romano's parents in the show. 'There is no show without the parents,' Garrett said. 'They were the catalyst, and to do anything that would resemble that wouldn't be right to the audiences or the loyal fan base. And it was about those two families, and you can't get around that.' Premiering in 1996, 'Everybody Loves Raymond' starred comedian Romano, who played Ray Barone, a sports columnist who lived in Long Island with his wife and three kids. As a family man, the show followed him as he navigated dealing with a resentful brother and meddling parents who lived across the street. Garrett received five Emmy Award nominations for his role on the show, in which he won three for outstanding supporting actor in a comedy series. During the sitcom's nine seasons, it was nominated for 69 Primetime Emmy Awards and won 15 of them. When reflecting on his experience acting on 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' Garrett expressed his gratitude for being a part of the show. 'I know [the reboot] won't happen, but 30 years later, I got very lucky to get on that bus,' he said. 'I'm very grateful.' Although a reboot isn't planned, all 210 episodes of the show are available for streaming on Peacock and Paramount+.

Dave Bautista's Next Franchise Play? Becoming a ‘Cat Assassin'
After hanging up his daggers as Drax the Destroyer and getting got as Glossu Rabban in Dune: Part Two, Dave Bautista is stepping into video games and animation with a new franchise by the name of Cat Assassin. The wrestler-actor and his production company Dogbone Entertainment will bring to life a new idea from Steve Lerner, who wrote 2022's feline adventure game Stray. This would-be franchise will comprise a stealth-action video game—influenced by titles such as Assassin's Creed, Splinter Cell, and Sifu—from developer Titan1Studios (Love is a Roguelike, The Events at Unity Farm) and a 'neo-noir adult animated series.' Cat Assassin focuses on Hugh, an expert killer 'caught between various cartels and power brokers in a dark and twisted city.' Bautista's part of the enterprise's 'creative vision,' but at the moment, it's unclear if that also means he'll lend his voice to Hugh in either animated or video game form. (His current voice work includes the upcoming Army of the Dead animated series and playing himself in WWE games since 2003.) Titan1 has several TV and game projects in the works, so at the moment, there's no real window on when to expect Cat Assassin. Still, in a statement on Titan1's website Bautista called teaming with the company 'a pleasure … Their ability to build worlds through animation has been so impressive and they've created a truly unique world in this game that I can't wait to share with players.' While the game is seemingly expected for release in October 2027 for PC and several consoles, including the Nintendo Switch 2, Titan1 said more details on the overall franchise's future is expected 'in the coming months.'
