Even as the first of M Night Shyamalan’s “The Night Chronicles” production banner films – lift-set horror thriller Devil – prepares to hit cinemas, the second is now locking in some talent, with The Last Exorcism director Daniel Stamm signing up to make Reincarnate.

The plot finds a jury hashing out the case of an accused murderer when they’re suddenly haunted by supernatural forces that might just hold the key to the whole inquiry. We’re thinking 12 Angry Men meets an even angrier Poltergeist.

Based on a story idea by Shyamalan, and written by the Buried team of Chris Sparling and Paul Grellong (which, together with Stamm’s hiring gives us real hope for the quality), the movie will kick off shooting some time next year.

Hopefully by then, Devil will have overcome the reaction problems that its trailer has been suffering, with audiences booing and jeering when Shyamalan’s name comes up.
