Russell Crowe Is Plagued By Demons In ‘The Exorcism’

Russell Crowe will wear a priest’s collar once again, but this time, he won’t be portraying the rock star exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth from The Pope’s Exorcist. Instead, he’ll take on the role of an actor in a film plagued by death. Crowe’s character, Anthony Miller, is a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film.

The trailer unveils the grim truth that the original actor of the film commits suicide, as we’re ominously told that “Everything’s cursed.” As Crowe’s character, Anthony, starts to lose his mind, his daughter Lee Miller (Ryan Simpkins) interprets Anthony’s vulnerability as signs of a relapse into his old addictions.

The official synopsis for the film reads, A troubled actor begins to unravel while shooting a horror film. His estranged daughter wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.

Alongside Crowe and Simpkins the cast also includes Sam Worthington as Joe, Samantha Mathis as Jennifer Simon, Adam Goldberg as Peter, Chloe Bailey as Blake Holloway and David Hyde Pierce Father Conor.

The film is written and directed by M. A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller. Reportedly, the pair penned the screenplay in 2019, and it has languished on the shelf for the past five years.

The Exorcism will see the light of day June 7.
