Block, along with director Andrew Cosby and Ed Quinn, has developed The Mexorcist. According to Deadline, the film is about a “fallen exorcist” who is dragged back into the profession to prevent the apocalypse. Cosby and Quinn created the character and apparently created a graphic novel about him. That graphic novel hasn’t been published yet, but it will be soon.
Cosby is set to direct the film and shooting is expected to begin later this year. Block – who is a former top dog at Lionsgate (he served during the SAW and The Descent years) and now heads up FEARnet – will produce.
Pantelion Films is backed by Lionsgate and Televisa.
