Ashley Bell Returns for ‘Last Exorcism’ Sequel!
Ashley Bell is in Toronto with the cast of The Day. During an interview for the film, Bell revealed she is going to be shooting a sequel to The Last Exorcism. I only asked generically about upcoming projects and she gave me this gem.
“I just signed on for the sequel of Last Exorcism,” Bell said to Bloody. “It’s ‘The Last Exorcism For Realsies You Guys,’” she joked. “That’s the full title.”
Just given the found footage nature of the first film, a sequel starring the original cast sounded unlikely. “Whenever you get that phone call, that opportunity, it’s incredible. I loved working with Strike Entertainment and Eli the first time around. To be able to work with them again, that’s what I’m most excited about. They’re an incredible company.”
Bell is excited to revisit the character of Nell Sweetzer, whatever condition she is in post-Exorcism. “I’m so excited. I have not seen or heard anything so I don’t know what is going to go down.”
When I asked specifically if she was planning any new contortions, that was too specific. “I am sworn to secrecy. My life’s now worth more sharing more details.”
We’ll have more on the cast and filmmakers from The Day out of the Toronto International Film Festival.
A heist turns nightmarish for Lizzy Caplan (Cobweb) in the offbeat comedy thriller Drag, and the SXSW darling now has an official release date.
Briarcliff Entertainment will release Drag in theaters on January 29, 2027.
The thriller follows “two estranged sisters who attempt to rob a secluded home in rural upstate New York. What begins as a simple burglary spirals into a nightmarish ordeal after one sister throws out her back and becomes immobilized on the second floor. As tensions rise and panic sets in, the sisters are forced into a painful and increasingly absurd fight for survival before the homeowner returns.”
It’s described as “Equal parts thriller and physical comedy,” which “explores sibling rivalry, physical pain, and the uniquely chaotic bonds of family.”
Lucy DeVito (“Little Demon”), John Stamos (“Full House”), and Christine Ko (“Dave”) also star.
The release announcement comes with a new look at Drag, introducing the estranged sisters caught in a heist nightmare.
Drag is co-written and co-directed by Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer, marking their feature debut.
The film is produced by Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito, and Jake DeVito through Jersey Films 2nd Avenue.
Briarcliff CEO Tom Ortenberg called Drag “a brilliantly original film that’s suspenseful, hilarious, and completely unpredictable. The cast led by Lizzy, Lucy, John, and Christine are the magic that makes the concept work. Audiences are in for a huge treat.”
