I thought it was called Evil Dead Now
Apparently it was not the official title. They changed it, which is a good thing.

Well, new rumour, the movie might take place in a skyscraper...I have no choice to think to Die Hard/The Raid/Dredd kind of movies with deadites.

It made me think of Poltergeist III. This could work and is at least a fresh take on the material, but I'll have to see how it does on a script level.
Honestly, the first thing that sprung to mind is [REC] (and it was actually mentioned in the Bloody Disgusting article). I hope they'll find a way to make it feel fresh, but the idea really isn't all that original. Poltergeist III, [REC] 1 and 2 and even Gremlins 2 went there. It's been done before. Well, at least it seems they're still going for some sense of claustrophobia and isolation with the location, which I believe is important to the Evil Dead feel.
So it's gonna be a PC game then. Hmm!
Hearing this news makes me wonder if the new Evil Dead is going to be a regular point and click style pc game, or something much bigger like a rpg that you have to sign in to play. It would be really cool to see them go with the latter.
Ash and whats'-her-face
I still badly want to see Ash in apocalypse London, grumpy like Snake Pliskin or Clint Eastwood in The Unforgiven .. a natural progression of Ash's character.Evil Dead is an exhausting franchise to be a fan of, as is Bruce. So many rumors, hearsay, and possible leads of information. AvED has been deceased for 2.5 years and we have been teased about video games, Mortal Kombat rumors, sat through Bruce's relentless foot stomping about wanting to quit FOR GOOD this time, now this. Kind of reminiscent of the years between AoD and AvED.
For a couple of people who seem so incredibly dead-set on running away from a franchise, they don't like to let it die. I enjoyed the Fede movie and while not perfect, I found a lot to love in the show. I'll still watch it with an open mind and very likely enjoy it. I think I just have to agree with some others that for me it is Evil Dead 4 with Sam and Bruce or bust.
That all being said, I hope this Lee character knocks it out of the park. My frustrations lie with decades of Bruce and Sam's love/hate relationship with our beloved franchise. Evil Dead...Rise? being enjoyable would be a positive for all

Same here... But only if it's really following the original ending to AoD, not AvED, and written and directed by Sam Raimi. Which I'm completely aware has next to zero chance of ever happening. I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in a post-apoc sequel if it's following AvED.
