Caffeinated Clint
Sequel to Bryne/Arquette thriller in the works
The rather middling 1999 supernatural thriller “Stigmata” – you may recall there was a couple of religiously-themed spookfests out around that time; Schwarzenegger’s “End of Days” was another one of them – is set to spawn a sequel.
Assumingly one of the many MGM direct-to-DVD sequels that’s in development over there (though there’s no confirmation on that), the film, says ShockTilYouDrop.com, will be produced by Frank Mancuso Jr. He’s no on the hunt for a director.
The Rupert Wrainwright-directed original told of a a priest from the Vatican (Gabriel Byrne) who is sent in to investigate claims that a small town in Brazil has a church where statues bleed from the eyes. Patricia Arquette and Jonathan Pryce co-starred.
