Katie Holmes to Lead Horror Sequel THE BOY 2

Katie Holmes will star in horror sequel "The Boy 2," according to Variety.

William Brent Bell will return to direct the sequel. Principal photography will begin this January in Victoria, British Columbia.

The story revolves around a young family, unaware of the terrifying history of the estate into which they move, where their young son soon makes an unsettling new friend, an eerily life-like doll he calls Brahms.

Stacey Menear, writer of the original, will also pen the sequel's script. "The Boy," starring Lauren Cohan and Rupert Evans, was produced for under $15 million and grossed $68 million worldwide.

Lucchesi said, "Following the success of 'The Boy,' we are thrilled to be working on the next chapter of this chilling Brahms story with Stacey and William. We are also delighted to be continuing our relationship with STX, on this, our third partnership"
