In court documents, Renaissance claims it holds the copyright to the series of cult films and that it never gave Award Pictures rights to make a new film in the series.
Award Pictures did not return a call requesting comment, but a website for the company does claim to be developing a film called "Evil Dead: Genesis of the Necronomicon."
Award Pictures' proposed film would take place in 1912 and center on a new hero, an archeologist named Dr. Ashley, but it would focus on revealing the origin of the Necronomicon.
