Let us be extremely clear … any movie that would pit Nicolas Cage as an exorcist against demonic forces has our attention and then some! Oh, the possibilities. We’re just giddy. Giddy, I tell you! Read on for more.

According to Bloody Disgusting John Pogue (Quarantine 2: Terminal) is now set to direct Hammer Films’ The Quiet Ones for Exclusive Media Group.

Also penned by Pogue, the film is based on a supposedly true story about a team of Cambridge academics in the 1970’s who record their investigation as they attempt to exorcise a poltergeist from a young girl.

BD also reports that an offer has been made to Nicolas Cage for the lead role of “Joseph”, leader of a project known as “Gesit” (a German word for mind, spirit, or ghost, covering the semantic field of these three English nouns).

Antti Jokinen was originally attached to direct. Please, Mr. Cage. Sign on. We beg of thee!
