Chris Messina makes deal with 'Devil'

Universal Pictures has set Chris Messina to star in "Devil," a horror-thriller based on an M. Night Shyamalan story that will be directed by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle ("Quarantine").

Production begins in Toronto on Oct. 26.

Pic is being produced by Shyamalan and Sam Mercer. It is the first pic in a deal between Shyamalan and Media Rights Capital to create Night Chronicles, a banner that will hatch one genre film per year for the next three years.

Brian Nelson ("30 Days of Night") wrote the script. The Dowdles will be exec producers.

Plot's being kept under wraps, but sources said Messina plays the lead role of Bowden, a sobered-up homicide detective. Messina most recently starred in "Julie and Julia" and "Vicky Cristina Barcelona."

He's repped by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

More Cast Revealed For Shyamalan?s Devil? And Also The Film?s Premise, Maybe?

On Friday, /Film?s Russ Fischer said of Devil, the upcoming  Dowdle Bros. film from a story by M. Night Shyamalan  and script by Brian Nelson, that ?The film starts shooting in Toronto a week from Monday, and that?s all we?ve got. It?s tightly under wraps, and has been for a while. Which, I suspect, really means that there?s some info out there that we haven?t dug up yet.?

Look?s like we?ve now managed to dig a bit of it up, with a little help from our friends. Be wary of potential spoilers as you read on.

After Russ? post was published, I received a kindly nudge in the direction of the film?s logline. Googling it (of course) I found it published on just one site - the rather unexpected Hollywood.Com. Here it is, word for word:

    A group of people are trapped in an elevator, and one of them is the devil.

As simple as that. So, I began digging further to see what else I could find. Again, the info was in an unexpected place? it was right here, at /Film. Right under my nose.

Back when Peter reported on the film changing shooting location to Canada, we received a comment from Only Read if you want to know. It read:

    Devil is basically a supernatural thriller set inside of an office building. There are some people stuck in an elevator, and one of them is not who they say they are (*cough* it?s in the title *caugh*)

    There is also a security guard and a policeman. The security guard is trying to convince the policeman to get them out of the elevator. He is also trying to convince the policeman that he is the chosen one to save the people.

The commenter later followed up with:

    Total truth man, inside info from the script, it?s a cool concept, the script is a little weak, but it could be made up in style.

So, that?s now three sources in corroboration. I?m calling this one? and if you?re reading this, Only Read, I?d love a look at that script myself. Thanks for your info.

In further Devil news, The Hollywood Reporter have rounded up a more comprehensive cast list. As well as Chris Messina they name Bojana Novakovic, Bokeem Woodbine, Geoffrey Arend and Caroline Dhavernas. Place your bets now on who will be the eponymous evil. I?m betting on there being a real angel in there too.

I was just reading this on the site. You are fast Sri HK, I wanted to post this here.

Well if that's true. I am looking forward to this. I wonder if anyone seen Quarantine and liked it? - I haven't seen it yet.

Alright, this sounds like a low-budget movie that takes place on only one location. Could be awesome, it reminds me of Phone Booth, which was also awesome!

Now I'm really interested!

I agree with you on PHONE BOOTH. That movie is classic. I love it.

[Namaste]

yup Phone Booth = good movie

Will someone please take a look at this?

The plot is exactly like the DEVIL. How did you find out about this assassin movie, Erik?

Hold on... the article which was released about 2 weeks ago it revealed the plot of DEVIL. It might not be true. And, if it's true then this assassin movie might not be a big budget movie which won't make much impact on the DEVIL. This assassin movie could be a fearnet material movie which won't release in the big screen.

Some pics from the set....well outside of it...
