In limited release in North America The Ezorcism, previously known as The Georgetown Project, where Russell Crowe plays a character loosely inspired by the actor from The Exorcist and directed by his son Joshua John Miller. Here is the trailer.
Let’s be honest: we don’t know how to comment on the news we’re giving you, namely the release of the horror trailer The Exorcismformerly known as The Georgetown Projectwhere we find ourselves Russell Crowe that this time, unlike that The Pope’s exorcist, he doesn’t fight the devil but is possessed by him, on the set of a film in which he plays… an exorcist. The reasons for our doubts are many, but we will talk more about them later trailer of the film, which will be released in North America on June 7.
The Exorcism: echoes of a true story twisted in a horror classic
Now that you have seen the trailer we tell you that the story revolves around an actor, played by Russell Crowe, named Anthony Miller (this is the first clue), a former drug addict, whose life begins to take a sinister turn while filming a horror film. The Exorcism is co-written and directed by Joshua John Millerone of the sons of Jason Millersplendid protagonist of The exorcistwho says he was inspired by his father’s stories from the set for this film and by the experience of seeing him “fly” from the window in William Friedkin:
If that wasn’t disturbing enough in itself, my dad never had to be pressed to tell me stories about how that set was ‘cursed,’ with mysterious fires plaguing the production, strange deaths, long-lasting injuries, and a host of other things. things. Ever since then I have been captured by the legendary charm of ‘cursed’ films. With The Exorcism we wanted to update the cinematic possession genre (heroic man saves woman from forces she is too weak and simple to face alone!”) for a world where no group has a monopoly on goodness and morality over another We were lucky to have an amazing cast and creative team to tell a story about how we are all vulnerable to darkness, and perpetuate it, if we fail to face our demons.
In the cast of The Exorcism There are also Sam Worthington, Ryan Simpkins, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg And David Hyde Pierce. This is Miller’s second film, written like the first with MA Fortin. Like his father, the director also started out as an actor and among his roles there is also one in The darkness is approaching Of Kathryin Bigelow. To leave those who love perplexed The Exorcist And Jason Miller that Father Karras was a splendid man, is the attempt to capitalize on the fame of the film marred by accidents (the marketing at the time emphasized many of these events, which were all in all “normal” in such a long and complex production) and on the name of the father, who interpreted the film in a state of absolute sobriety, to create a horror film which – judging from the trailer – does not avoid the clichés of the genre.
