Release Date for Scott Derrickson’s Beware the Night

Sinister director Scott Derrickson is getting ready to begin production on Beware the Night, and we were hoping to see the movie sometime in 2014. However, Sony is looking to take advantage of a month that has recently become popular for horror films and will release the movie in 2015.

January 15th, 2015 is the release date set for the movie, which means we won't be seeing it for quite some time. The month has proven very successful for horror movies in recent years, so we're not surprised to see studios claiming release dates this far ahead of time.

Beware the Night stars Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez and Olivia Munn, and production is expected to start on May 20th in New York. The script was written by Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman, who previously worked together on The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, and tells the story of a cop that teams up with a local priest to battle demons:

[Plot details via Deadline] "Bana plays an Irish Catholic cop working a case when he meets a renegade priest. Despite the cop’s beliefs, he’s convinced by the priest that there is a demonic element and together they work to solve the case and combat the paranormal forces working against them. Ramirez plays the priest. Munn plays the cop’s wife, who also has a tie to the case."

The project is a Screen Gems production and it has been said that they'd like this to be the first of multiple films that follow these characters. We'll report back when more details become available, but we may not be seeing much of this movie until late 2014.
