A teaser trailer for The Devil’s Light is shown at CinemaCon, teasing demonic possession and horrifying visions in Daniel Stamm’s new horror film.

A teaser trailer for Daniel Stamm’s new supernatural horror film, The Devil’s Light, has been shown off behind closed doors at CinemaCon. Known for directing episodes of Fear the Walking Dead and Scream, as well as 2010’s The Last Exorcism, the film marks Stamm’s first feature length film in seven years. Based on a story by Robert Zappia, Earl Richey Jones, and Todd Jones, with all three serving as producers and Zappia also adapting the screenplay, The Devil’s Light stars Jacqueline Byers as Sister Ann, a nun studying to perform exorcisms, who comes face to face with a demonic force tied to her past.

The Devil’s Light also stars Swamp Thing’s Virginia Madsen, Krypton’s Colin Salmon, 13 Reasons Why’s Christian Navarro, and Star Trek’s Ben Cross. The film marks one of Cross’ final film roles as the actor tragically passed away in April 2020 after battling cancer; The Devil’s Light will also be dedicated to him. Cross was perhaps best known for playing Olympian Harold Abrahams in Chariots of Fire as well as more recently appearing in Netflix’s The Last Letter from Your Lover as an older version of Callum Turner’s Anthony O’Hare.

The film was originally slated to release earlier this year but was unfortunately delayed. While no replacement date has been confirmed, The Devil’s Light is now expected to release in 2022.

The movie, written by Peltz, is set in 2002 middle America and revolves around 19-year old Lola James, who is working to save enough money to get her little brother, Arlo, out of their toxic home. All Lola wants is for Arlo to have a chance at life she never had. While trying to keep her head above water she spirals into a drug addiction that threatens to consume her. Arlo’s bright outlook on life keeps her hopeful until one tragic night when her whole world gets uprooted. From that moment on, nothing will ever be the same. The movie, we hear, is already in production in Los Angeles.

Virginia Madsen will play Mona, who leads the family with fierce obedience on the wrong side of religion; she herself dealing with demons and raised by an abusive mother. Peltz will star alongside Sideways Oscar nominee Virginia Madsen. Peltz is also producing in what is her feature debut as a writer, producer and director. Lola James is also Vinaite’s feature directorial debut. Will McCance is producing with Ryan Kirby executive producing.

Madsen stars in the upcoming Lionsgate movie The Devil’s Light and also starred in the CW streaming series Swamp Thing as well as CBS’s Elementary with a recurring role on ABC’s Designated Survivor. Her feature credits include the upcoming Lionsgate title American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story and Road to Capri, Red Riding Hood, The Astronaut Farmer, A Prairie Home Companion, Dune, The Haunting and Candyman. Madsen is repped by Buchwald and Untitled.
