The Pope's Exorcist is a new film starring Russell Crowe and directed by Julius Avery, releasing April 14th. The film also stars Daniel Zovatto, Alex Essoe, and Franco Nero. This is inspired by the actual files of Father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican. The screenplay is written by Michael Petroni and Evan Spiliotopoulos from a screen story by Petroni, R. Dean McCreary, and Chester Hastings. Though less Exorcist than what looks like a horror version of Da Vinci Code. That being said, it is still Crowe fighting demons, and I am sure there is a market for that. Check out the trailer below.

I don't know; I really do not have much interest in this. You can double that disinterest since Sony is the one putting it out. That may be unfair, but not much they have put out in the last year has been very interesting, and some downright offensive. I am talking about you, Morbius. I do enjoy Crowe, though, and that may be what gets me into the door of the theater to see The Pope's Exorcist when it releases on April 14th.
