CBS Films has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to “The Last Exorcism Part II” from StudioCanal, the companies announced on Thursday.
Directed by Ed Gass-Donnelly from a screenplay by Gass-Donnelly and Damien Chazelle, the film is the sequel to the 2010 feature “The Last Exorcism.”
Eli Roth produced the film along with Marc Abraham, Thomas A. Bliss and Eric Newman of Strike Entertainment. Patty Long and Gabrielle Neimand served as executive producers.
The sequel continues where the first film left off. Nell Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) is found alone and terrified in the woods. Back in the relative safety of civilization, Nell realizes that she can't remember what happened in the previous months, and discovers that she is the last surviving member of her family.
