Just when you thought it was safe to get possessed by Satan again... The Last Exorcism looks like it will soon get a sequel, with a follow-up script in the works and production expected to start in the fall. More after the break.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The producers of The Last Exorcism are moving ahead with a sequel, tapping writer Damien Chazelle to write the follow-up to the surprise summer 2010 hit."

"Studio Canal is financing the follow-up and production is slated to begin this fall... Chazelle has been busy as of late: the writer-director has also sold Grand Piano, a thriller spec, to Adrian Guerra. Guerra produced Buried, the 2010 Ryan Reynolds-starring thriller. Eugenio Mira -- who helmed the Spanish romantic thriller Agnosia -- is attached to direct Piano, described as a Hitchcockian thriller about a classical pianist."

Here's my interview with Mira from last year's Fantastic Fest.
