Not to be confused with The Pope’s Exorcist, Russell Crowe stars in another exorcism movie with The Exorcism.
Let’s hope it’s a bit better.
Watch the trailer below.
Director has ties to The Exorcist
Fun fact: The director’s father played Father Karras who flung himself out of a window at the climax of The Exorcist.
“If that wasn’t haunting enough on its own, my dad never shied away from telling me stories of just how ‘cursed’ the movie was: the mysterious fires that plagued the production, the strange deaths, the lifelong injuries — the list went on and on. The lore of any ‘cursed film’ has captivated me ever since,” Joshua John Miller told THR.
He continued, “With The Exorcism, we wanted to update the possession movie formula (‘Heroic man rescues woman from forces she’s too weak and simple to battle herself!’) for a world where no one group owns goodness and decency over another. We were gifted with an extraordinary cast and creative team to tell a story about how we’re all vulnerable to darkness, to perpetuating it, if we fail to face our demons.”
What is The Exorcism about?
Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe stars as Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film.
His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.
The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.
The Exorcism gets released on June 7, 2024.
