Joel McHale Will Play a Tough Cop in BEWARE THE NIGHT

Community star Joel McHale is set to join Eric Bana and Olivia Munn in a supernatural thriller called Beware the Night. The Screen Gems production is being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, and directed by Scott Derrickson (Sinister).

Bana plays an Irish Catholic cop who is "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." He finds himself being targeted by the Devil in the form of possessed soldier.

I've had that same problem. Damn Devil is always trying to take me down. I figured my best chance of survival would be to lock myself in my home and write about movies all day. 

McHale will play Bana’s partner in the story, who's an "experienced and tough cop." I've noticed McHale has been wanting to move away from comedy and expand his abilities as an actor. This is definitely a different role for him.
