Studio Canal is spearheading a sequel to "The Last Exorcism," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Damien Chazelle will pen the follow-up of Lionsgate's 2010 hit. Production is slated to begin this fall.

Headed by the production company Strike Entertainment ("Children of Men"), "The Last Exorcism" was directed by Daniel Stamm ("A Necessary Death"), based on a script by "Mail Order Wife" writing duo Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland.

The PG-13 film, budgeted at $1.6 million, grossed $62.5 million worldwide and starred Patrick Fabian ("Big Love," "Veronica Mars") as the Rev. Cotton Marcus, who brings a documentary crew to chronicle his final exorcism on a remote Louisiana farm.

Iris Bahr, Louis Herthum and Caleb Landry Jones also stared

Chazelle's credits include the spec script "Grand Piano," a thriller with a Hitchcockian twist about a classical pianist; Chazelle's first spec script, "The Claim," which follows a single father attempting to rescue his kidnapped daughter; and "Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench," a feature that debuted in 2009 at the Tribeca Film Festival that Chazelle wrote and directed.
