Exorcism centered on an Evangelical preacher, played by Patrick Fabian, who, after years of performing exorcisms, decides to allow a documentary crew to film the last exorcism he plans to perform, in order to show his work is a fraud.

The sequel follows Nell (Bell) who, six months after the first film’s events, has move to a halfway house only to realize that the demon that has ruined her life is still after her! Without giving anything away, the sequel takes an interesting romantic approach that’s spun around Nell’s new boyfriend, Chris. A subplot is that Bell is also targeted by a group of rogue Reverends who mean to kill her.

Official: Continuing 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.

A new UK teaser brings up the trailer tally for The Last Exorcism Part II. I sort of like it better than the first one, but maybe that’s just because it goes a little easier on the CGI.

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.”

Andrew Sensenig, Spencer Treat Clark, Muse Watson, David Jensen, Judd Lormand, Joe Chrest, Julia Garner, Louis Herthum, Tarra Riggs, Ashlynn Ross, Cristina Franco, Raeden Greer, E. Roger Mitchell and Boyana Balta also star.

While there’s still a bit of a wait fot The Last Exorcism Part II, which arrives in theaters March 1 from CBS Films, that doesn’t mean that a third film is off the table! I just got off the phone with Ashley Bell who confirms that the second film leaves room for another potential sequel that they’re hoping to make. I’ll share my FULL interview with Bell next week (closer to the film’s release), but I wanted to get this tidbit out to you a little early.

When asked if there were plans to make a third film, depending on how this one performs, she answered, “There’s a wait and see approach, but yeah there have been [discussions]. There’s a twist at the end [of Part 2] that is literally so shocking! I would love to step back into my Doc Martens for a third time.”

In Part II, “Continuing 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.”

Question – if they make this third film, what should the title be? READ MORE

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…”

Exclusive Story Details For Top Secret ‘Last Exorcism’ Sequel!

While I don’t have a competitive nature, there’s something deep down in my soul that doesn’t like to be challenged. Case in point, both press releases for Vigilandia and Dark Skies stated that the plot was under wraps, which presented the challenge: could I find out what they’re about? It took some work, but I broke both plots exclusively on Bloody…

Point: StudioCanal’s The Last Exorcism 2 has been shrouded in secrecy. In fact, we’re still unclear if the IMDB casting is correct. All we know, officially, is that Ashley Bell returns as Nell Sweetzer, the possessed young girl, and that Ed Gass-Donnelly is directing. That’s it, and that’s not enough.

I did some digging and hit some gold. While I’m still unclear if it will once again be found footage (it doesn’t really lend itself to it), I did learn that it will in fact be a sequel.

Here’ what I got for you guys. The sequel follows Nell (Bell) who, six months after the first film’s events, has move to a halfway house only to realize that the demon that has ruined her life is still after her! Without giving anything away, the sequel takes an interesting romantic approach that’s spun around Nell’s new boyfriend, Chris (I’m not sure who’s playing the character). A subplot is that Bell is also targeted by a group of rogue Reverends who mean to kill her. The twist is something never before seen in an exorcism film.

I think you guys are going to LOVE it. Thoughts?

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, reports Heat Vision.

The PG-13 Exorcism, from production company Strike Entertainment (Children of Men) and directed by Daniel Stamm, grossed $62.5 million worldwide on a budget of $1.6 million. The found-footage Lionsgate release was written by Andrew Gurland and Huck Botko. A sequel was probably a given considering the profitability of the first film.

Studio Canal is financing the follow-up and production is slated to begin this fall.
