Variety reports that Chris Messina ("Julie and Julia") will star in the Dowdle Brothers' ("Quarantine) "Devil" which is based on an M. Night Shyamalan story.  The script is by Brian Nelson ("30 Days of Night") so Messina has really allied himself with a team of winners.  Details of the plot are being kept under wraps because it's super secret and everyone wants to know what the movie is about because Shyamalan, Nelson, and the Dowdles are an artistic triumvirate unlike anything cinema has ever known.  Production on "Devil" is set to being in Toronto on October 26th and hopefully no one will ever tell Messina about IMDb and how he might have to carry the entire movie.
