Haunting in Connecticut Success Inspires Sequel

Producer Gold Circle is developing "The Haunting in Georgia," a follow-up to this spring's surprise hit.

The original supernatural thriller centered on a family that moves to a new state and begins to experience spooky events at their home. The new pic is expected to follow a somewhat similar path but with a new family in a new state.

The ICM-repped Ti West, who helmed the recent 1980's-set horror tale "House of the Devil," has signed on to direct "Georgia." Peter Cornwell directed the first pic.
