Al Pacino in The Devil's Advocate
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Oscar-winner Al Pacino is set to team with Dan Stevens in The Ritual, a new exorcism movie based on a true story. 1973’s blockbuster The Exorcist ignited an entirely new horror sub-genre, one that continues to attract audiences over 50 years later in 2024.
Yet one more entry in the exorcism genre is now headed to screens, as XYZ films announces The Ritual, a based-on-fact movie directed by David Midell, from a script by Midell and Enrico Natale, and starring Pacino and Stevens, along with Ashley Greene and Abigail Cowen. The movie is eyeing a 2025 release date.
What Is The Ritual About? The Ritual stars Pacino as a priest with a troubled past, who teams with doubting priest Stevens to help a young woman who is the victim of demonic possession. The story is based on the real life case of Emma Schmidt, an Iowa woman whose alleged possession went on for several decades, before she underwent a series of exorcisms in 1928. The British film The Exorcism of Anna Ecklund, released in 2016, was also based on Schmidt's story.
