Despite the box office failure of David Gordon Green’s sequel to William Friedkin’s classic, The Exorcist has been booming in theaters. After working in the Vatican in a feature film with a second part in development, Russell Crowe hunts demons in another film, while his partner Michael Mann prepares to do the same in The Revelation.
Inspired by the Emma Schmidt (aka Anna Eklund) possession case that took place in 1928 and became one of the most documented in United States history, the ritual will feature two priests. variety.
One, played by Dan Stevens, will be in the midst of a crisis of faith. And the other, played by Al Pacino, is in the midst of reckoning with his troubled past. But they’ll have to put aside their differences to rescue a possessed young woman through a series of exorcisms.
Twilight cast in casting
If it’s hard not to think of The Exorcist in this square, the horror classic directed by William Friedkin seems to have at least most of the films in this subgenre, as does Pazuzu with Regan. So the ritual will have to live with it.
And it is David Middel who will take on this challenge, after taking on another true story in the drama The Assassination of Kenneth Chamberlain, which remains unreleased in our cinemas. Will it be the same for The Ritual, which will also include Ashley Greene (Twilight) and Abigail Cowan (Winx) in its cast? The answer (divine) in the coming months.
