The supernatural horror movie, The Devil Inside, opened to an impressive weekend at the box office, winning the top spot for the weekend and earning $33.7 million on a $1 million budget despite being eviscerated by critics. In light of The Devil Inside's success, Writer-director William Brent Bell is doing what any new director with a #1 movie would do: line up as many new projects as possible.
Earlier this week, Bell grabbed the director's chair for Warner Bros.' upcoming, found footage, "conspiracy-driven thriller" The Vatican, which is currently being "fast-tracked" through the studio; but will first direct an untitled new project from Devil Inside screenwriter-producer Matthew Peterman.

Writer-director William Brent Bell's new supernatural horror movie, The Devil Inside, is the first break-out hit of 2012. The movie scared up $33.7 million in its opening weekend to become the third-hightest January opening ever, despite the absolute brutal beating it has been taking from critics — aggregate review site RottenTomatoes rates The Devil Inside as "Rotten," giving it a score of just 7% and calling it "a cheap, choppy unscary mess, featuring one of the worst endings in recent memory."
Earning 33-times its production budget in the opening weekend was not only good news for Paramount, but for Bell, as well, who has parlayed the success of The Devil Inside into a job directing The Vatican for Warner Bros.

For those of you who would rather kick off the new year with a fright instead of a bang, consider writer-director William Brent Bell's (Stay Alive) new movie, The Devil Inside. The micro-budgeted supernatural horror movie was shot documentary-style, a la Paranormal Activity, and revolves around a young woman's (played by Fernanda Andrade) quest to discover what (literally) possessed her mother (Suzan Crowley) to kill three people during a botched exorcism more than twenty years prior.
Because it's a Paramount Insurge movie, the marketing campaign for The Devil Inside has been virtually non-existent, but a new preview clip has been released that offers more footage not seen in the trailer and TV spot. The chilling clip takes place in a church and shows a (presumably) possessed priest trying to drown a baby during a baptism. And, if the preview clip wasn't frightening enough for you, you can always go back and listen to that creepy viral 911 call that was released back in October once again.

Mere days ago, the teaser poster and a chilling viral video debuted for Paramount's upcoming horror movie, The Devil Inside, and, right on schedule, the first trailer has also arrived.
The horror movie follows a young woman named Isabella, who travels to Italy to visit her mother, who was locked away in a mental hospital in the country after killing three people during her own exorcism. To learn more about the nature of her mother's condition, Isabella takes part in a series of unauthorized exorcisms.
The Devil Inside is set for release early next year, the exact same day as Liongate's The Possession (formerly Dibbbuk Box), Deadline reports. The Possession follows a divorced couple (Kyra Sedgwick and Jeffrey Dean Morgan) whose child becomes obsessed with a wooden box haunted by a spirit that wants to devour its human host. It's up to you to decide which possession movie to watch on the unofficial "possession movie day," but only The Devil Inside has a trailer to watch (so far).

Despite the fact that writer-director William Brent Bell (Stay Alive) had to go back into production this summer on his micro-budgeted horror movie, The Devil Inside, after having wrapped the shoot several months prior, Paramount Pictures actually moved up the movie's release date from Feb. 24 to Jan. 6.
We have yet to see any still images and the trailer isn't due to drop until next week, but Paramount has just released the first teaser poster and uploaded a chilling viral video to YouTube that is purported to be a real 911 call from a possessed woman named Maria Rossi who has just killed three people.
