Shane Meadows' next movie will be a true story about exorcism.

The 'This Is England' director is about to begin work on 'Beware The Devil' after months trying to secure the rights to the screenplay.

He said: "I've got the rights sorted now, so it's not such a hidden thing. It's based on a book of the same name, about the life of a guy who, by getting involved with ouija boards and the occult by trying to disprove it, trying to take the p**s out of it, got possessed, had to be exorcised, and later became an exorcist himself.

Shane is looking forward to working on the project as he believes it is important not to be limited to one genre

"The guy it happened to has died, but his son's a novelist, and he helped him turn it into a book before he passed away, and now I'm working with him to turn it into a film."

Shane is looking forward to working on the project as he believes it is important not to be limited to one genre.

He added to Empire online: "I think it's important to keep people guessing a bit, rather than doing the sort of Mickey Shyamalan thing where he does eight scary ones in a row, with the spooky twist at the end."
