The Devil Inside Writer/Director William Brent Bell Is Now Headed To 'The Vatican'

After raking in $34.5 million this past weekend, William Brent Bell, the director/co writer of The Devil Inde is most-likely laughing his way to the bank despite what most critics had to say about his film which debuted this past weekend.

And now we're being told by Deadline that Warner Bros offered Bell a job to helm their upcoming film The Vatican, and he cordially accepted.



Warner Bros recently acquired The Vatican which is a pitch for a conspiracy-driven thriller that will be scripted by David Cohen. The film will be produced by Roy Lee, Lawrence Grey and John Middleton, and Bell's producing partner Matt Peterman. Peterman wrote The Devil Inde with Bell, and also produced the unexpected horror "hit" with Morris Paulson.

According to Deadline, the sale for The Vatican was conducted right before the holidays, and will be fast-tracked by Warner Bros. The film is being described as a hybrid that uses some found-footage techniques like The Devil Inde did.
