Get Possessed By A Second, Shorter Trailer For ‘The Last Exorcism Part II’

I’ve never seen a second trailer arrive so quick, yet CBS Films has already premiered a new look at The Last Exorcism Part II, although this appears to be a shorter cut than this two minute version.

In theaters March 1 from director Ed Gass-Donnelly, 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 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 herlast exorcism was just the beginning.

[Sundance '13] Two Fresh Looks At ‘We Are What We Are’

Sundance recently announced their Park City at Midnight line-up for the 2013 fest, which takes place January 17-27 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah.

While the above link will already take you to dozens of new hi-res photos, this morning two new stills were released from Stake Land director Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are, his remake of Mexican director Jorge Michel Grau’s picture about a family of cannibals that’s been moved from its original setting of Mexico City, to a poor part of the Catskills region in New York State.

In the film, “A seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Sage) rules his family with a rigorous ferver, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris (Childers) and Rose (Garner) are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family.” Cast includes Bill Sage, Ambyr Childers, Julia Garner, Michael Parks, Wyatt Russell and Kelly McGillis.

StudioCanal’s secretive The Last Exorcism 2 made an appearance at the American Film Market in Santa Monica this past week. In the film, Ashley Bell returns as Nell Sweetzer, the possessed young girl, with Ed Gass-Donnelly is directing.

While we exclusively broke the story to you, here’s the official synopsis:

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…

Meet The ‘We Are What We Are’ Family Of Cannibals!

In Memento Films project directed by Jim Mickle, Keough and Garner to play two sisters forced into cannibalism by father as part of family tradition

Riley Keough (Jack and Diane), granddaughter of the late Elvis Presley, Julia Garner (The Last Exorcism 2), Bill Sage (American Psycho) and Wyatt Russell (Cowboys & Aliens ) have joined the cast of Stake Land director Jim Mickle’s We Are What We, Screen Daily reports.

MFI describes Mickle’s We Are What We Are as a “re-imagination” of Mexican director Jorge Michel Grau’s absolutely fantastic Somo Lo Que Hay, about a family of cannibals in Mexico City.

Mickle, best known for his cult vampire picture Stake Land, which won Toronto’s Midnight Madness sidebar in 2010, has transposed the story to a poor part of the Catskills region in New York State. Using the clandestine cannibal premise of Grau’s film as a jumping off point, Keough and Garner will play a pair of sisters who are secluded from mainstream society. Following the untimely death of their mother, their father, played by Sage, forces them to perform a depraved ritual, carried out by their ancestors for generations. Russell will play a young deputy who is in love with Keough’s character.

Principal photography will begin in the Catskills on May 29, and will extend to the first week of July. The film will be delivered in January 2013. READ MORE
