Source: Shock Til You Drop Greg Nicotero has a great resume that features some great monster/creature movies; having worked on "Day of the Dead", "Evil Dead II", "Army of Darkness ", "Land of the Dead", "Diary of the Dead", amongst a truly staggering
filmography Nicotero is probably the go-to-guy for SFX in these types of films. I highly recommend you check out his filmography list, it's astounding. In regards to The Evil Dead reboot, here's what Nicotero told STYD about possibly jumping on the project which will be helmed by Fede Alvarez and features a script from Diablo Cody:
Nicotero:
""We would love to do [that project]. I believe they might be shooting in New Zealand, so that might be prohibitive. I know they would love to have us and I know we'd love to do it, I just don't know where it's going to go. I spoke to [producer] Rob [Tapert] and said, with the stuff we're doing on The Walking Dead, I can only imagine how cool it would be to do something with the make-up would be so much fun."
