In a recent Ask Me Anything (AMA) thread on Reddit, Evil Dead Burn director/co-writer Sébastien Vaniček dished about what IP he’d like to adapt. The filmmaker would like to make a more authentic adaptation of The Mask comics. While Jim Carrey’s rubber-faced antics were perfect for playing the story off as a comedy in the 1994 film version. Vaniček has something darker in mind.  “If you could make any movie about any intellectual property (other than the Evil Dead) what would you choose?” Senorpuddin asks.  “I think I would dig into THE MASK, but make it closer to the comic books.…
