No, it's not a sequel to The Pope's Exorcist. Or The Exorcist.
What would possess Russell Crowe to do another exorcism movie? Perhaps it's because The Pope's Exorcist star plays a troubled horror movie actor seemingly cursed by a demon in The Exorcism, the new meta-horror movie produced by Scream franchise creator Kevin Williamson and Bill Block .
"All kinds of messed up stuff happened when they were making movies like The Omen or The Exorcist," Chloe Bailey says to Ryan Simpkins in the just-released trailer. Simpkins — known for their role in the Fear Street trilogy and the older sibling of Insidious star Ty Simpkins — plays Lee, the estranged daughter of actor Anthony Miller , who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. Lee begins to wonder if her father is slipping back into past addictions...
"The origins of the film stem from my childhood spent watching my father, Jason Miller, playing the doomed Father Karras flinging himself out a window at the climax of The Exorcist," Miller said."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.
"With The Exorcism, we wanted to update the possession movie formula 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," the director and co-writer added.
Along with Crowe and Simpkins, the cast includes Bailey , Sam Worthington , Adam Goldberg , and David Hyde Pierce . Miller co-wrote The Exorcism with M.A. Fortin , and Williamson and Block produce with Ben Fast .
