Russell Crowe's ‘The Exorcism' Hits VOD: Unraveling the Real and Supernatural
Horror aficionados, get ready to experience a new dimension of fear as Russell Crowe's highly anticipated film, ‘The Exorcism,' is set for VOD release on July 9th. Previously known as ‘The Georgetown Project,' this film has already made waves in theaters since its June 21st release. If you missed the theatrical run, now is your chance to catch it from the comfort of your own home.
Crowe, known for his riveting performances, steps into the shoes of Anthony Miller, a troubled actor grappling with his inner demons while filming a supernatural horror movie. This role marks a significant shift from Crowe's recent portrayal of real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth in ‘The Pope's Exorcist,' which has the potential to launch a franchise. Interestingly, Crowe worked on ‘The Exorcism' before ‘The Pope's Exorcist,' with the former being announced over four and a half years ago.
The movie is a collaborative effort by Miramax, producer Kevin Williamson, and Outerbanks Entertainment. Directed by Joshua John Miller, who co-wrote the screenplay with M.A. Fortin, the film boasts a stellar cast. Alongside Crowe, the ensemble includes Ryan Simpkins (‘Fear Street Part Two – 1978'), Sam Worthington (‘Avatar: The Way of Water'), Chloe Bailey (‘Praise This'), Adam Goldberg (‘The Equalizer'), David Hyde Pierce (‘Frasier'), Samantha Mathis (‘Broken Arrow'), Tracey Bonner (‘Creepshow'), and Adrian Pasdar (‘Near Dark').
Miller's personal connection to the horror genre adds a unique layer to the film. As the son of Jason Miller, who portrayed Father Karras in the iconic ‘The Exorcist,' Joshua John Miller's background influences the narrative, drawing parallels to his own life and his previous work, ‘The Final Girls.'
Produced by Williamson, Ben Fast, and Bill Block, with Padraic McKinley, Scott Putman, Andrew Golov, and Thom Zadra as executive producers, ‘The Exorcism' promises a gripping blend of psychological and supernatural horror.
If you're intrigued by tales of haunted productions and the blurred lines between reality and fiction, ‘The Exorcism' is a must-watch. Have you seen it during its theatrical run?
