You'll be forgiven for thinking The Exorcism is a sequel to
The Pope's Exorcist, but it's actually a meta-horror in which Russell Crowe plays an
actor working on a horror movie. When he begins to mentally unravel it
seems reality may be mirroring fiction, and his demons may not all be in
his mind.
The film is directed by Joshua John Miller, who just happens to be
the son of The Exorcist star Jason Miller, and co-written
with M.A. Fortin. The cast also features Ryan Sympkins, Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg, David Hyde
Pierce, Marcenae Lynette, Tracey Bonner, Samantha Mathis
and Adrian Pasdar.
The Exorcism is in US cinemas from June 7th.
A UK/ROI release has yet to be announced.
[UPDATE] The film now has a UK cinema release date of June 21st.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
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, wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.
