The devil inside tops the American box-office
The independent movie serviced by MediaPro Studios is in pole position, leaving on the second place Tom Cruise’s Mission impossible 3
The movie had a budget of under $1 million, but earned an amazing $34.5 million during his opening weekend, while Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol grew up to 20.5 million. The supernatural thriller about exorcism labeled initially Unclean llc., an independent company, was shot mostly in Romania at the end of 2009. Serviced by MediaPro Studios, the project combined foreign cast and crew with some of the best Romanian professionals. Paramount Insurge has picked up the movie and in October 2011 the production crew returned to the Studios to give a boost to some of the last scenes of the movie.
Told in the documentary style, the story centers around a woman who has been led to believe her mother brutally murdered three people because she was clinically insane. After being told the murders occurred during an exorcism, she sets out to discover the truth. While documenting her experience with a film crew in Italy, she becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms.
Andreea Stanculeanu, COO MediaPro Studios, details the formula for success: It was a huge pleasure to work with The devil inside team. The trio of Morris Paulson (producer and financer), William Brent (writer and director) and Matt Peterman (writer and creative producer) has an exceptional dynamic, the three amazingly completing one another. Morris is the one who understood, when MediaPro Studios has initially pitched the project, the economical advantages of shooting in Romania, the high production value for money and the standards got for every single dollar spent. Matt and Brent got attached to the creative, artistic aspects when choosing Romania, they practically fell in love with our locations, actors, stunts, SFX team. The devil inside is the best example of a project that cropped the advantages of shooting in Romania and earned the best value for money. When I spoke to Morris last night, I promised that we'll remain their lucky charm. We're expecting them this spring with a new production."
