Eric Bana and Olivia Munn Join Exorcism Film BEWARE THE NIGHT

Eric Bana, Olivia Munn, and Edgar Ramirez have joined a new supernatural exorcist thriller set up over at Screen Gems called Beware the Night. Mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer is set to produce and Sinister director Scott Derrickson will helm the project from a script he wrote with Paul Boardman. 

According to Deadline, "Bana plays an Irish Catholic cop working a case when he meets a renegade priest. Despite the cop’s beliefs, he’s convinced by the priest that there is a demonic element and together they work to solve the case and combat the paranormal forces working against them. Ramirez plays the priest. Munn plays the cop’s wife, who also has a tie to the case."

The studio is hoping they can turn this thing into a franchise. Bruckheimer had this to say in a statement,

Beware The Night is a project we’ve been developing for many years, confident that a story which combines the paranormal with a gritty New York City police story is both original and strongly appealing to audiences. We’re excited to work with Culpepper and his team at Screen Gems, and director Scott Derrickson, who has emerged as a uniquely talented filmmaker with the ability to both entertain and terrify audiences in equal measure. We’re also thrilled to have Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez, and Olivia Munn, three really fine actors whose strongly defined roles in Beware The Night will allow them to give full range to their skills.

As a fan of horror and the supernatural, I'm looking forward to seeing how this film develops.
