Al Pacino and Dan Stevens are set to team up for the exorcism horror film “The Ritual” at XYZ Films.
Based on a true story, the story follows two priests – one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) – who put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman in a dangerous series of exorcisms.
The film is based on the story of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.
Ashley Greene and Abigail Cowen co-star in the film which David Midell (“The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain”) directs and co-wrote with Enrico Natale. Natale, Andrew Stevens and Mitchell Welch produce.
Plans are to release it theatrically in 2025 with the film likely to be shopped around at the Cannes market.
Pacino has the Johnny Depp-directed biopic “Modi” on the way whilst Stevens is currently in cinemas with both “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” and “Abigail”.
