Has Evil Dead begun casting?

Everything is coming together for Fede Alvarez to begin directing the Evil Dead remake in March for its April 2013 release, but we have yet to hear any casting news regarding the film. We do know the lead in this film will be a female this time, but have yet to hear any names dropped for the lead role. Well, sources are now telling Destroy the Brain that Gillian Jacobs and Jurnee Smollett have auditioned for the lead role. As with many remakes, this film seems to be drawn more to the younger crowd and Jacobs of Community seems to fit that catogory alright. No word on how truthful this news is, but we should be hearing something official with production set to start in March.
