CBS Films announced today that it has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to the sequel from Studiocanal.
“Eli Roth & Strike Entertainment bring us an even more terrifying and bigger scale sequel to THE LAST EXORCISM that grossed $70 million worldwide. It looks like Nell Sweetzer’s last exorcism was not foolproof. She is back… and so are her demons.
Continuing where the first film left off, teenage Nell Sweetzer is found dirty and terrified in the woods having just escaped a demon ritual in which a cult helped her give birth to a demon baby. Confused and scared, Nell is examined by doctors but she doesn’t remember much about the previous few months except that as a result of everything, her family is now dead. She is moved into Davreaux – a girls’ halfway house in New Orleans, where she will try to put her life back together with the help of the therapist, Frank Merle. She even begins to date a boy named Chris and starts a job at a local hotel.
But something doesn’t feel right to Nell. She is being sought after by the demon who possessed her in the first LAST EXORCISM. It wants Nell, but in a different way than before…”
The flick will in fact be a sequel and not a prequel.. The film stars: Ashley Bell, Spencer Treat Clark, Andrew Sensenig and Julia Garner.. Written By: Ed Gass-Donnelly and Damien Chazelle - Directed By: Ed Gass-Donnelly..
CBS Films will release the film wide on March 1, 2013..
