You are listening to The Next Best Picture podcast, and this is my interview, with the supervising

sound designer for Evil Dead Rise, Peter Albrexson.

No matter how busy you ever got, you always found time for me.

I can't believe I'm never going to speak to you again.

All right, everybody.

I am being joined here today on the Next Best Picture podcast by Peter Albrexton.

Now, you probably have heard Peter on the show before.

He has talked a lot about the sound design for many types of films, but this time around, he is working on Evil Dead Rise, which is a smorgasbord of sound work.

Peter, welcome back to the show.

Thank you so much.

I am very excited to talk about this movie with you here because I just saw it the other day in the theater and the sound design in this film is very complex, extremely layered.

I imagine for you it must be a project that is just so giddy and exciting, something that I'm sure reawakens almost like a childlike wonder of the films that scared you when you were a kid. And now you get to play that trick on other people

today. So tell me first and foremost, like, how did you come aboard the project? What was

the beginning like?

Well, your description is pretty spot on. I mean, it's really amazing to do this project.

I got connected to it because the director, Lee Cronin, is Irish. And one of his great friends is wonderful sound designer Steve Fanagan who's a friend of mine as well and Steve recommended me to Lee so then Lee reached

out to me and yeah we just hit it off immediately Lee is extremely passionate about

sound and when I, I mean, got to read the script.

I was attached really early before they started shooting actually. So when I read the script,

it's just filled with sound. I mean, the very first thing in the script is a description of sound, and there's so much of that throughout the entire script.

So from the very beginning, it was just like, wow, this is going to be quite a sonic ride.

Had you seen his previous film The Hole in the Ground?
