THE LAST EXORCISM sequel in development with Damien Chazelle writing

The Last Exorcism looks to be getting a sequel! THR reports that the producers have hired Damien Chazelle to pen the script. The 2010 film was was a surprise hit, grossing $62.5 worldwide on a budget of $1.6 million. The found-footage feature was directed by Daniel Stamm based on a script by Andrew Gurland and Huck Botko. The sequel is being financed by Studio Canal, and production is scheduled to begin this fall.

Exorcism followed "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."

Chazelle is a writer and director, he recently sold his thriller Grand Piano to Adrian Guerra (Buried). Eugenio Mira is attached to direct Piano, described as "a Hitchcockian thriller about a classical pianist." Chazelle's first spec script, The Claim, was acquired by Route One in October. The thriller centers on "a single father in search of his kidnapped daughter; he must contend with a couple who claims the child is their daughter."

I enjoyed Exorcism a lot, and am interested in seeing a sequel. I left the theater wanting more, so this is good news for me. What are your thoughts?
