CBS Films Gets The Last Exorcism Part 2

CBS Films announced they’ve picked up The Last Exorcism Part 2‘s U.S. distribution rights from StudioCanal and are planning a March 1, 2013 theatrical release for the horror film. Ed Gass-Donnelly directed the sequel and co-wrote the screenplay with Damien Chazelle, with Ashley Bell reprising her role from the original film.
 
Announcing the acquisition, Studiocanal Executive Vice President of International Distribution Harold van Lier said, “Heading into AFM we knew that the creative team behind The Last Exorcism Part 2 had delivered a bigger, scarier sequel. CBS Films came to the table with a clear vision for the film’s release and we feel that we’ve found the perfect partner to take this franchise to the next level.”
 
The Plot:
 
Continuing where the first film left off, Nell Sweetzer (Bell) is found alone and terrified in the woods. Back in the relative safety of civilization, Nell realizes that she can’t remember entire portions of the previous months only that she is the last surviving member of her family. Just as Nell begins the difficult process of starting a new life, the evil force that once possessed her is back with other, unimaginably horrific plans that mean her last exorcism was just the beginning.
