It may be not-so-fondly remembered as “the movie that ended with a website link,” but William Brent Bell‘s The Devil Inside was actually a MASSIVE hit at the box office. Released in 2012, the found footage horror movie pulled in $100 million worldwide on a reported production budget of just $1 million, making it hugely profitable despite the “F” CinemaScore.

In the world of Hollywood, profitable movies often spawn sequels, and William Brent Bell (The Boy, Brahms: The Boy II) has revealed in a chat with Bloody Disgusting’s Boo Crew Podcast that he actually is developing ideas for a potential prequel to The Devil Inside.

“I don’t even know if I’m supposed to say this,” the filmmaker began. “We’re developing ideas for a prequel to [The Devil Inside] right now. It’s so cool. It’s so fun to be able to go back to stories like that and then build on something. It’ll be like current day because it’s kind of book-ended with Maria Rossi – today – and it’ll be like Centrino Mental Facility current day.”

He added, “But it’s nice to have…ten years have passed…to kind of play around with what that story can be.”

Maria Rossi was one of the central characters in The Devil Inside, a woman who murdered three people during her exorcism in 1989. Since then, she’s been in the Centrino facility. The 2012 movie centers on Maria’s daughter, who’s making a documentary about exorcisms.
