“I met with River a few times,” remembers Boorman. “He was streetwise, but at the same time there was this fragility about him. You felt that somehow he had to be protected. Many people felt that he was vulnerable and open.” Woolley expresses the same sentiment. “He had total vulnerability. It was like being in the presence of a kid. When he did silly things you wanted to say, ‘Don’t do that,’ or 'Be careful.’” — The Guardian, October 2003

The Evil Dead was sold to Palace because of a mistake made by Steve Woolley. He had actually stepped into the wrong preview theatre which was airing The Evil Dead. Woolley was so captivated by the opening shot that he stayed to watch the whole film which led to it being sold to Palace Pictures.
