- BEWARE THE NIGHT
Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose) has signed on
to direct the paranormal police thriller Beware the Night.
According to The
Wrap, Derrickson will also rewrite the script: “The story is set in a
paranormal world and follows a New York police officer investigating real life
demon possessions, exorcisms and werewolves after dark.” The project is housed at Screen Gems, but The
Wrap hears producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Carribbean) and Disney
are involved in some capacity, Beware the Night could be a much bigger
production than your typical supernatural flick. The lead role was reportedly offered to Mark
Wahlberg, but he passed.
Derrickson followed up the low-budget Emily Rose with
would-be tentpole The Day the Earth Stood Still. Derrickson returned to small-scale horror for
his latest film, Sinister, which hits theaters on October 5.
