Abalam Returns: Watch The First Trailer For ‘The Last Exorcism Part II’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Today, CBS Films released the first trailer for part 2 of The Last Exorcism series. Also today, I remembered that The Last Exorcism existed. The first film was forgettable at best, and this second film looks as though it plans to continue that trend.

In any case, people must have liked it (or at least enough of yousaw it), as the movie did well enough to warrant a sequel. This second chapter looks to take place just shortly after the events of the first film.

The Last Exorcism Part II curses its way into theatres on March 1st.

Continuing where the first film left off, Nell Sweetzer (Ashley Bell) is found terrified and alone in rural Louisiana. Back in the relative safety of New Orleans, Nell realizes that she can’t remember entire portions of the previous months only that she is the last surviving member of her family. Just as Nell begins the difficult process of starting a new life, the evil force that once possessed her is back with other, unimaginably horrific plans that mean her last exorcism was just the beginning.

CBS Films Is Adapting ‘Deus Ex’ For The Big Screen

by Shane O'Hare

In a stunning “out-of-left-field” move, CBS Films has optioned the phenomenally successful “Deus Ex” series of video games and are actually involving the Square team in the development of the film. Roy Lee and Geekscape friend Adrian Askarieh are attached to produce with John P. Middleton executive producing.

CBS Films C0-President, Terry Press was quoted:

As is clear from the wild success of the game, Square Enix and Eidos-Montréal know how to exceed their audience’s expectations by engineering incredible worlds, No one knows Human Revolution like the team that created it and we look forward to working with them from day one to make a film adaptation worthy of the Deus Ex name.

So they’re bringing the whole Square team on board. That is one of the smartest decisions a film studio can make in wanting to do a video game adaptation. It is a trend that is starting to make sense (just look at ‘Marvel’). The people who create these worlds know what should go into the story and characters from a fan perspective. Deus Ex is one of the most powerful narrative driven games out there so I for one am very excited to see what comes of this.
