Bella Thorne will be having a “scream” on her latest project.
According to The Wrap, the 16-year-old will star in a new remake of The Amityville Horror. Franck Khalfoun (“Maniac”) will direct film, which according to Bloody Disgusting, will also star Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Leigh will play a single mother who moves her three kids into the “Amityville” house, which of course has a very dark history. Bella will play her daughter “Belle” in the film.

According to The Wrap, Dimension had planned on using a found-footage angle but that idea has been dropped, as the format appears to have fallen out of favor with discerning genre fans. Amityville remains scheduled for release on Jan. 2, 2015.
Bella also wrote on twitter that she’s finished up her album! Are you more excited for Bella’s music or upcoming movies?
