Director of ‘found-footage’ horror hit THE LAST EXORCISM, Daniel Stamm, will not be returning to helm the sequel. That task will fall to Ed Gass-Donnelly, who will direct from a script by Damien Chazelle. Gass-Donnelly was responsible for 2010’s little seen thriller SMALL TOWN MURDER SONGS starring the great Peter Stormare as a local cop with a secret.
Returning to the sequel will be Ashley Bell, reprising her role as the demon-possessed Nell Sweetzer. Plot details are being kept under-wraps but with Bell’s involvement once again, it must ultimately feature her character. Could it be a possible prequel, along the lines of THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE remake; maybe using a clunky title of THE SECOND TO LAST EXORCISM – surely not! The films producers,who are working on a title as THE LAST EXORCISM 2 commented:
This much bigger scale movie will unravel a profoundly scarier chapter to Nell’s battle between good and evil. God have mercy.
