Russell Crowe Stars in New Demonic Horror Film THE EXORCISM
Russell Crowe stars in another demonic horror movie titled The Exorcism. This movie is not related to The Pope’s Exorcist movie that Crowe previously starred in and is awaiting a sequel. The Exorcism is a completely different project.
The Exorcism follows Anthony Miller (Crowe), “a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film.” The image above offers a first look at Crowe in the role.
It’s explained that “His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.”
The film comes from director Joshua John Miller from a script he wrote with M.A. Fortin. They are the creators of the hit series Queen of the South.
Additional cast includes Sam Worthington (Avatar: The Way of Water), Chloe Bailey (Praise This), Adam Goldberg (The Equalizer) and David Hyde Pierce (Frasier).
The filmmakers said in a statement: “Vertical has been a great partner in helping us complete and realize our vision for this story. Their level of enthusiasm and support are rare to find.”
Vertical Partner Peter Jarowey added: “Joshua has a profound expertise in this genre, and we applaud his creation of a film that reverently nods to classic horror while adding a fresh twist.
“We want to thank everyone at Miramax for their partnership and are looking forward to bringing the film to theatres nationwide this summer.”
The movie was produced by Miramax and Scream creator Kevin Williamson, and it has been acquired by Vertical and is set to get a theatrical release on June 7, with Shudder picking up pay 1 rights.
