Production has been set to begin on the sequel to horror/thriller hit The Last Exorcism next month in New Orleans. Ed Gass-Donnelly, whose credits include This Beautiful City and Small Town Murder Songs, will direct the R-rated follow-up to the 2010 PG-13 pic that grossed $70 million worldwide on a budget of $1.5 million .

Russell Crowe Knows Kung Fu?

There was a huge demand to continue the series and they are the right team to do it. They’re very smart, creative, and really get it. Stage 6 is the direct to dvd division of Sony Home Entertainment, is responsible for such home video releases as The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. Pleas
