Lionsgate announced today that they will produce the upcoming supernatural thriller The Devil’s Light.

James Hawes (Black Mirror, Penny Dreadful) will be in the director’s chair for the film written by Robert Zappia (Halloween H20: 20 Years Later).

In The Devil’s Light, “with reports of demonic possessions reaching unprecedented numbers globally, the Vatican opens schools for exorcisms in six countries including the United States.”

“The Devil’s Light tells the story of Sister Ann, a restless 25-year-old, who devoutly believes that performing exorcisms is her calling. But she is at odds with the institution’s traditions: sisters are not allowed to perform exorcisms, only priests. With the support of a mentor, a professor who senses her special gift, she is allowed to observe actual training sessions. Her desire to prove herself takes a personal turn when she meets one of the school’s most disturbed patients. During their harrowing encounters, Sister Ann comes face to face with a demonic force that infests the school and has mysterious ties to her own past. It is then that the power of evil and her own startling abilities are fully realized.”

Production is set to begin in early 2020. Lionsgate will produce along with Gold Circle and will distribute the film in North America, UK, and Latin America. Lionsgate International will handle international sales and launch the film at AFM. Paul Brooks (Pitch Perfect franchise, The Haunting in Connecticut, White Noise), Jessica Malanaphy, Todd Jones, and Earl Richey Jones will also be producing with Scott Niemeyer, David Brooks, and Brad Kessell executive producing.
