MUMBAI: Lionsgate has acquired the US rights to Daniel Stamm‘s horror film The Last Exorcism from StudioCanal. The film was earlier titled Cotton.

Eli Roth and Strike Entertainment‘s Marc Abraham, Eric Newman and Tom Bliss produced the film. 

The film starring Patrick Fabian and Ashley Bell is the tale of a disreputable priest who invites a film crew to record his final days as a fraudulent exorcist and must find his inner strength when he comes face-to-face with pure evil.

The deal with StudioCanal was negotiated by Lionsgate president of acquisitions and co-productions Jason Constantine, senior vice-president of acquisitions and co-productions Eda Kowan and executive vice-president of business and legal affairs, acquisitions and co-productions Wendy Jaffen.
