The Dowdle Brothers Gear Up for ‘Devil’, First Casting!
Awesome, awesome, AWESOME! The Dowdle brothers are finally gearing up for their follow-up to Quarantine, a new horror film for M. Night Shyamalan entitled Devil. The project has been in the works for quite some time, but casting has officially started with shooting planned to get underway in a few weeks in Toronto. The question is, will we see this before Pughkeepsie Tapes? Come on MGM, WTF?! Read on for the official casting news.
Universal Pictures has set Chris Messina to star in “Devil,” a horror-thriller based on an M. Night Shyamalan story that will be directed by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle (“Quarantine”).
Production begins in Toronto on Oct. 26.
Pic is being produced by Shyamalan and Sam Mercer. It is the first pic in a deal between Shyamalan and Media Rights Capital to create Night Chronicles, a banner that will hatch one genre film per year for the next three years.
Brian Nelson (“30 Days of Night”) wrote the script. The Dowdles will be exec producers.
Plot’s being kept under wraps, but sources said Messina plays the lead role of Bowden, a sobered-up homicide detective. Messina most recently starred in “Julie and Julia” and “Vicky Cristina Barcelona.”

Pan’s Labyrinth takes place in 1944, in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War.
Young Ofelia and her pregnant mother have been brought to live in the countryside, where her brutal stepfather Captain Vidal’s job is to wipe out the remaining rebels camped in the local forest. Nearby, in a hidden labyrinth, Ofelia meets an ageless Faun, who tells her that she is really a princess from an enchanted world. He gives her three tasks which she must complete in order to reclaim her rightful place. As her mother’s failing health threatens the life of her unborn child, Ofelia undertakes a quest to complete the Faun’s tasks.
Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, and produced by his company, Tequila Gang, the 2006 dark fantasy film stars Ivana Baquero, Maribel Verdu (Y tu mama tambien), Doug Jones (Hellboy II), and Sergi Lopez (Dirty Pretty Things).
Tickets for Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth 20th Anniversary will be available online September 9 and at participating theatre box offices (theatre locations are subject to change).
