The highly anticipated film The Exorcism previewed at Thalian Hall on Wednesday, drawing a packed crowd to its early screening. The movie, previously titled Georgetown Project, is a supernatural thriller headlined by Academy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe. Crowe stars as Anthony Miller, a once-lauded actor now grappling with troubling visions from his past while working on a horror film. These visions escalate, causing concern for his estranged daughter, portrayed by Ryan Simpkins, who suspects that his past addictions might be resurfacing or something more sinister might be in play. Richard Trubia, treasurer at Thalian Hall, noted the event’s resounding success,...

Joshua John Miller and his personal and creative partner, M.A. Fortin, never set out to make a movie about an exorcism because, as Fortin says to Miller, “Your father stars in the greatest one of all time.”
Miller’s dad was the actor Jason Miller, who played Father Damien Karras in “The Exorcist.” He often told Joshua stories of the purportedly haunted set, recounting fires that started around the production and the injuries and deaths that would impact those who worked on the film.
That real-life experience was one of the big inspirations for “The Exorcism,” a new movie Joshua directed and co-wrote with Fortin, in which Russell Crowe plays Anthony Miller, an actor portraying a priest in what looks to be a modern “Exorcist” remake while living with his estranged daughter Lee (Ryan Simpkins).

It’s not always easy to find out which movies hit theaters each week, especially after the Hollywood strikes led to so many release date changes. With the WGA and actors strikes resolved and summer blockbusters starting to roll in, June is filled with both big budget flicks and new indie releases.
Premiering June 21 is Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness,” an anthology drama starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley following a man seeking control of his life, a policeman whose spouse returns home after she was presumed dead and a woman searching for a prophesied spiritual mentor. Also hitting theaters is “The Bike Riders,” a crime drama about a young man entangled with a violent Midwestern motorcycle club starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and Michael Shannon.

Director Joshua John Miller has a distinctly personal perspective on William Friedkin’s seminal horror classic The Exorcist: his father, Jason Miller, played the reluctant protagonist Father Karras. Yet, seeing his father die on screen in a horror movie isn’t the sole source of inspiration behind The Exorcism, an ambitious, personal piece of meta-horror. Miller and co-writer/partner M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls) channel their rage and experiences with grief into a family psychological drama, one that uses possession horror as connective tissue. However, combining personal family drama with scathing critiques of the Church and Hollywood ultimately means that The Exorcism struggles under the immense weight of its ambition.

The Exorcist directed by William Friedkin and written by William Peter Blatty is considered, still, perhaps the greatest horror film of all time, certainly the most popular. The 1973 movie was even nominated for 10 Oscars and won two, unheard of in the genre at that time. It has been endlessly imitated for the past half century right up to now, recently and notably David Gordon Green’s critically reviled 2023 reboot The Exorcist: Believer, which even brought original Exorcist star Ellen Burstyn back into the fold after all these decades. But the Og is impossible to touch, so what was going through Joshua John Miller’s mind when he decided to take on a new film so closely linked to it?
Director and co-writer (with M.A. Fortin) of The Exorcism, Miller has the 1973 film in his family bones, even if he wasn’t born until a year after its release. His father is Jason Miller,...

Wilmington, N.C. (Wect) – Thalian Hall screened an exclusive preview of the highly-anticipated horror film The Exorcism on Wednesday evening. Originally produced under the title The Georgetown Project, this supernatural thriller stars Academy Award-winning actor Russell Crowe. Crowe takes on the role of Anthony Miller, a troubled actor grappling with his own demons while filming a horror movie. His estranged daughter becomes increasingly concerned about his mental state, suspecting it might be more than just a relapse into old habits. Richard Trubia, Thalian Hall’s treasurer, enthused that the event was a resounding success with lines formed around the building and...

Stars: Russell Crowe, Ryan Simpkins, David Hyde Pierce, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg, Adrian Pasdar | Written by Joshua John Miller, M.A. Fortin | Directed by Joshua John Miller
However you look at it, the fact that Russell Crowe has chosen to make two exorcist movies in as many years is a very strange decision. It’s like Jason Statham deciding to play another bee-keeper, or Glen Powell playing another hitman. Whatever the reasoning behind his decision, Crowe’s second exorcism movie, The Exorcism, is sadly disappointing, a murky, near-nonsensical effort with nothing to offer but jump scares.
In fairness, you can maybe see Crowe’s thinking when you take a closer look at the film’s pedigree. It’s directed by Joshua John Miller, the son of Jason Miller, who played Father Damien in William Friedkin’s The Exorcist. Similarly, rather than playing an actual exorcist, as he did in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist,...

Last weekend, Pixar’s Inside Out 2 ended the box office woes that have plagued movie theaters since mid-spring. With a $155 million domestic opening, which is the second-highest animated film opening ever, Disney’s Pixar is now back at the top of the box office heap. With very little in the way of competition this weekend, its continued run at number one is all but assured. But how much will it make on its second weekend, and how steep will the week 2 drop be? If you look back at The Incredibles 2, which is the highest-grossing animated opening ever, it fell off about 56% in week two, although I think Inside Out 2 may have a better hold.
Despite its blockbuster opening, I remember the audience’s reaction to The Incredibles 2 being relatively cool. Audiences seem to be absolutely loving Inside Out 2, with many finding the introduction of Maya Hawke...

No, you're eyes are not deceiving you, nor is this a trick being played on you by Satan, the father of all lies. "The Exorcism" is a new exorcism movie starring Russell Crowe, and it has nothing to do with Crowe's previously released "The Pope's Exorcist." I gave that film a less-than-favorable review when it first opened, but I've come to appreciate its B-movie charms, as well as its scenes of the large Crowe scooting around Rome on a tiny Vespa. Now that I've seen "The Exorcism," I appreciate "The Pope's Exorcist" even more. At least that movie was somewhat enjoyable on a cheesy level, unlike "The Exorcism," which is drab, morose, and ultimately weak. But I'll say this for Crowe: just as in "The Pope's Exorcist," he's not phoning it in. He seems fully committed to his part here, even if the movie itself feels beneath him.

Plot: A troubled actor exhibits disruptive behavior 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.
Review: Just last year, we saw the release of The Pope’s Exorcist, and now, less than one year later, we’ve got Russell Crowe returning to the genre with a similar title. But outside of being about possession and starring Russell Crowe, these films could not be more different. Announced 5 years ago and even filmed before Pope’s Exorcist, The Exorcism was hit with delay after delay. That’s not often a great sign concerning a movie’s quality, but the June release seemed to show a little more faith in the product than expected. Unfortunately, the film fails to deliver anything outside of some decent performances.

The behind-the-scenes story of the Russell Crowe horror vehicle The Exorcism is arguably more interesting than the film itself. Shot in 2019, the movie directed by Joshua Jason Miller was almost abandoned because of production shutdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the moderate financial success of The Pope’s Exorcist (also starring Crowe) allowed them to revive the film and conduct reshoots. While The Exorcism is not exactly a great movie, it’s decent enough that viewers won’t regret its resurrection.
The Exorcism follows an actor with a troubled past (Crowe) who gets a role in a horror film on a set that is rumored to be cursed, causing those around him to wonder if his erratic behavior is due to his past addictions or something more sinister. Considering that it’s produced by Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer scribe Kevin Williamson, horror fans will...

I used to simply think there were a lot of exorcist movies. There are, but that doesn’t quite say it. There are so many exorcist movies that starting long ago they began to add up to something larger than the sum of their writhing, low-devil-voice-talking, mottled-gray-skin-with-carved-crucifix parts. When “The Exorcist” came out 50 years ago, it fed into the rise of the new fundamentalist culture. Because the whole thing about “The Exorcist” is that it felt like it was bigger than a movie. It was making an announcement: The devil is here — and if that is so, maybe it means God is here too.
That’s why exorcist movies never went away. They feed our primal ecclesiastical horror nostalgia by feeding something else: our desire to glimpse the devil in the flesh (and maybe God as a bonus). It helped, in a strange way, that the vast majority of exorcist films are B-movie trash.

There are several similarities between the Catholic Church and the film industry. Among them is a tendency to let powerful people get away with unconscionable behavior. In that insidious overlap, director Joshua John Miller finds the heart of “The Exorcism,” an ambitious social commentary that commingles Hollywood’s penchant for wrongdoing with the abuses of the Vatican for a unique portrait of an actor unraveled.
On the one hand, it’s a mediocre genre movie with a title as mundane as it is misleading. On the other hand, even as a muddy character study making only the weakest attempts to scare, “The Exorcis-m” is still a bigger treat for fans of “The Exorcis-t” than its recent flop sequel, “The Exorcist: Believer.”
Why? In a year that’s already seen two major horror movies competing for the title of Best Virgin Nun to Give Birth to the Antichrist, Miller and co-writer...

Director Joshua John Miller’s “The Exorcism” opens nationwide June 21, but one theater showing it holds a particularly special place in his heart: Quentin Tarantino‘s Vista Theater in Hollywood. Not only will the Vista screen “The Exorcism” in 35mm, but Tarantino has programmed Russ Meyer‘s 1965 cult classic “Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” as a midnight show following Miller’s film on June 21 and June 22. “Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!” stars Miller’s mother, Susan Bernard, who passed away five years ago, and “The Exorcism” is a film inspired by his father, Jason Miller, who played Father Karras in “The Exorcist” and ended up working in lower-budget horror films like “Mommy” and “The Eternal.”

2024 has already been a big year for horror, and there’s only more to follow. On June 21, The Exorcism is set to be released in theaters. There hasn’t been a lot of exposure for this movie, but I recently saw the trailer while waiting for The Watchers. Here is what we can expect from yet another exorcism movie.
The Exorcism stars Russell Crowe, Ryan Simpkins, Chloe Bailey, and many other familiar names. The director is Joshua John Miller, who wrote the screenplay for The Final Girls and developed the TV series Queen of the South. In addition, he co-wrote the script for The Exorcism with M. A. Fortin, who he previously worked with on The Final Girls and Queen of the South.

Director/co-writer Joshua John Miller has family history with horror. As a child actor, he was the kid vampire in Near Dark. Also, he’s the son of playwright-turned-actor Jason Miller, who played Father Karras in The Exorcist — the obvious model for the film-within-a-film being remade in The Exorcism. With star Russell Crowe riffing on well-publicised real-life difficulties, this is plainly a more personal (and unofficial) Exorcist add-on than, say, last year’s The Exorcist: Believer.
Though it has that low-light gloom of many recent horror films, The Exorcism is as much behind-the-scenes showbiz drama as shocker. Director Peter (Adam Goldberg) — such a snake you suspect the screenwriters have someone in mind — tries to get a performance out of washed-up Anthony Miller (Crowe) the way demons in possession movies try to destroy priests, spitting out wounding, vicious comments designed to scar the psyche.
Russell Crowe is more tragic than terrifying.

It’s crazy to think that Joshua John Miller’s The Exorcism was first announced back in 2019. The world has changed a lot since then and we’ve even gotten a similarly titled Russell Crowe movie in the meantime. Yet the only thing that The Exorcism shares with The Pope’s Exorcist (outside of its lead) is the subject matter. Because otherwise, this is a very different film, both in tone and plot. Following a film within a film about the remake of The Exorcist (although not by name) provides a unique opportunity. Many possession stories can feel rather “samey” so it’s nice to finally get a unique slant on it.
I was fortunate enough to sit down with stars Ryan Simpkins, David Hyde Pierce, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg, as well as writers and director M.A.Fortin and Joshua John Miller. We got into all things The Exorcism,...

There’s much more than meets the eye in The Exorcism, from writer/director Joshua John Miller and co-writer M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls). Or rather, there’s a lot bubbling beneath the surface in this possession horror story.
The Exorcism stars Russell Crowe (The Pope’s Exorcist) as troubled actor Anthony Miller, who begins to unravel after taking on a role in a supernatural horror movie. So much so that his estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if art is imitating life in horrific ways. It’s also hard not to see The Exorcism imitating life, as Joshua John Miller’s father, Jason Miller, playing the doomed Father Karras in horror classic The Exorcist, which served as a significant source of inspiration behind the film.

Russell Crowe became a household name after the release of Gladiator. There was a time when my family and I used to watch it several times a week and say the dialogue along with Crowe like it was karaoke night. I’ve watched all of his collaborations with Ridley Scott. I often find myself rewatching the opening minutes of Man of Steel just to enjoy Crowe’s take on Jor-El. And, of course, The Nice Guys is one of my favorite movies of all time. So, it was a little weird to see him veer into the fantasy-horror genre with The Mummy. While many actors wouldn’t have returned to the genre after a critical and financial debacle like that, I was glad to see him in The Pope’s Exorcist. And as we wait for the sequel to that film, Crowe is back for some more supernatural shenanigans in The Exorcism.

Joshua John Miller was not prepared for the experience of directing a movie. With ‘The Exorcism’, starring Russel Crowe and inspired by the 1974 classic horror film ‘The Exorcist’, which featured his father Jason Miller, the 49-year-old actor took on the role of director. He admitted the process was fraught but now feels more prepared for future projects. Miller said to The Au Review: Let’s just say I have a lot more guile than before this process. I think that’s more rooted in optimism about film. I still feel that cinema is the path forward, and not all these streaming...

The Exorcism is heading into cinemas this week, but Joshua John Miller’s horror film was actually shot all the way back in 2019.
It’s a good week to be a fan of Russell Crowe doing exorcisms on the big screen. Joshua John Miller’s The Exorcism, which was previously known as The Georgetown Project, is heading into cinemas this Friday, but it’s been a long time coming.
World Of Reel reports that the film was actually shot in 2019 and has simply been in post-production limbo ever since. It seems that the studio behind the film, Miramax, wasn’t too keen on the film back in 2019, but the pandemic put a stop to reshoots.
Crowe then went on to do The Pope’s Exorcist which enjoyed moderate success, but it was enough to convince Miramax to get everyone back together for reshoots and the film was finally finished in...

Was the production of William Friedkin’s horror classic The Exorcist cursed? There are so many stories about what happened on and around the set that lots of people believe it. Look a little closer and it’s less convincing. Did one man lose a thumb? Yes, but he was a carpenter – it’s a hazard of the trade. Did some actors die? Yes, but over a year of shooting, these things happen. Star Linda Blair was briefly a supporter of the theory on the basis that her pet mouse died – an animal with a two year lifespan. Nevertheless, the rumours of demonic influence were so persistent – and Friedkin so artful in exploiting them – that superstition persists to this day.
It’s for this reason that the opening of Joshua John Miller’s The Exorcism immediately divides its audience by age and genre affiliation. You will need to be familiar with.

The horror film The Exorcism, which was formerly known as The Georgetown Project and stars Russell Crowe, was once set to receive a North American theatrical release on June 7th, but you may have noticed that it’s not currently in theatres. That’s because it was pushed back to June 21st – and with that date one week away, a pair of clips from the film have arrived online. You can watch one in the embed above, and the other can be found at the bottom of this article.
Crowe recently played real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth in the supernatural horror film The Pope’s Exorcist, which could turn out to be a franchise starter. He actually worked on this movie before making The Pope’s Exorcist – in fact, The Exorcism was first announced four and a half years ago. So it’s good to see that it’s finally making its way out into the world.

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone have emerged as quite the duo in recent years. The director and actress managed to turn both "The Favourite" and "Poor Things" into rare, original box office hits that also went on to garner some major awards season love. Now, they're back together again with another dark comedy in the form of "Kinds of Kindness," which is rolling out in select theaters next weekend before expanding nationwide in the coming weeks. The question is, can Lanthimos and Stone pull off a hat trick and go three for three?
Disney's Searchlight Pictures is making a couple of wise decisions regarding "Kinds of Kindness." For one, it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to build some buzz, with Jesse Plemons winning Best Actor for his work in the film.

“Gladiator” changed Russell Crowe’s life. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Maximus in Ridley Scott’s Roman Empire epic and spent a few years as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The film means a lot to him personally. So he’s having some mixed feelings about “Gladiator II,” Scott’s upcoming sequel starring Denzel Washington and Paul Mescal as Maximus’ son, Lucius.
Spoiler alert for a 24-year-old movie: Maximus dies at the end of “Gladiator.” So Crowe is not in “Gladiator II,” and he’s not involved with the production. In an interview with radio host Kyle Meredith, Crowe admitted to being “slightly uncomfortable” with the fact that they’re making another “Gladiator” film.

Russell Crowe has admitted that he’s “slightly uncomfortable” with the fact that Ridley Scott is making a sequel to “Gladiator.”
Crowe played the lead character, Maximus Decimus Meridius, in Scott’s 2000 epic, which won him an Oscar for best actor and launched him to worldwide fame. Now, “Normal People” breakout Paul Mescal is starring in “Gladiator II” as Lucius Verus, the grandson of former Emperor Marcus Aurelius (Richard Harris). As you may recall, Marcus was brutally killed by his power-hungry son Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) after he appointed Maximus as his successor. The first film ends with Crowe’s character memorably dying in a duel against Commodus.

Pixar has been one of the premiere names in animation ever since the first "Toy Story" released in 1995, changing the game forever. Disney's beloved animation company was also one of the true Hollywood box office titans, with pretty much everything Pixar touched turning to gold, though "The Good Dinosaur" serves as a rare exception to the rule. Unfortunately, the pandemic changed all of that, and Pixar has had a rough time recovering, with "Lightyear" bombing badly after several of the studio's originals went straight to Disney+. "Inside Out 2" aims to change the narrative next weekend and bring the studio back to its dominant place at the top of the box office charts.

¿Podrá la Fiesta del Cine mejorar los datos de la taquilla?
Este fin de semana, según los datos de Comscore Spain, la taquilla española ha vuelto a ser liderada por “Furiosa: De la saga Mad Max”, de Warner Bros, que en su segunda semana ha recaudado 391.294 euros. Aunque mantiene su primer puesto, la caída en la recaudación es notable si lo comparamos con los 806.928 euros del fin de semana anterior.
En el segundo lugar se sitúa una película de anime basada en la popular serie de voleibol, “Haikyu!! La Batalla del Basurero” de Sony Pictures, que ha debutado con una recaudación de 362.788 euros. Una cifra bastante buena teniendo en cuenta que solo se ha proyectado en 186 cines en España.
Mientras tanto, “Amigos Imaginarios” de Paramount Pictures continúa su éxito en su tercera semana en cartelera, consiguiendo 341.791 euros y manteniéndose en el tercer puesto. La propuesta familiar dirigida por John Krasinski...

They’re working with Platinum Dunes on the “District 9 by way of The Purge“ werewolf movie Wolf Night and recently signed a first-look deal with Gary Dauberman that will see him “creating projects for himself while curating a slate featuring established and up-and-coming filmmakers.” Now Deadline reports that Scott Derrickson, the director of such films as Sinister, Doctor Strange, The Black Phone, and the previously mentioned The Exorcism of Emily Rose and Deliver Us from Evil,...

Let’s bounce.
After concluding May with discussions of Gregg Araki’s Mysterious Skin (listen) and Ridley Scott’s Alien (listen), we’re delving back into the world of female coming-of-age tales with Lisa Brühlmann‘s 2017 body horror film Blue My Mind.
Blue My Mind sees 15-year-old Mia (Luna Wedler) face an overwhelming transformation which calls her entire existence into question. After getting her first period, her body begins to change radically in some very non-human ways. Despite desperate attempts to halt the process, she is soon forced to accept that nature is far more powerful than her.

Filmmaker Scott Derrickson helmed the first Doctor Strange back in 2016. The noted horror filmmaker, who was known for his film Sinister handled the first live-action depiction of the Sorcerer Supreme in the MCU. The film received positive responses around the world and was a commercial success, earning $677 million at the global box office.
While Derrickson did a great job with the film, he left the sequel after working on it for a while due to creative differences. Recently, a fan posted a nice detail about the first film which proved why the MCU was great back in the day and why Kevin Feige seemed to have forgotten the kind of creators that were involved in its making.

If you’ve been keeping up with distribution news recently, there’s been one name you’ll have seen pop up again and again: Vertical.
Since the pandemic, the bottom has fallen out of the film business, with more quality indie packages hitting the marketplace than there are distributors willing to take them on. Stepping up, in the years since, to offer many of them a home, is this indie distributor, which appears to be in the midst of its biggest year yet.
Founded in 2012 by Rich Goldberg and Mitch Budin, Vertical comes from humble beginnings, according to partner Peter Jarowey, who notes that the team at one point operated out of “a literal broom closet.” Initially working to establish itself as a resource in securing ancillary revenue for indies, the company has of late has become a theatrical player in its own right.

Better start bulk-buying holy water – Russell Crowe’s The Exorcism has set its UK release date. More below…
It’s been an odd morning in the Film Stories office, but despite the suddenly upside-down crucifixes, displaced laughter and the accounts team suddenly spider-walking up the walls, we’re still on hand to deliver the latest film happenings to you lovely lot. You’re very welcome.
Good thing, too, because Russell Crowe’s much-anticipated re-donning of the cassock, The Exorcism, is officially winging its way into UK cinemas on 21st June.

Four months of horror releases down, eight to go! With our 2024 Horror Preview, we’re looking ahead at some of the other horror movies we can’t wait to check out this year. For now, we’re only including movies that have a known release date, so films like the remakes/reboots of The Toxic Avenger and Witchboard are currently absent because they don’t have a release date yet, even though they’re likely to show up at some point in 2024. Here we go:

It looks like Russell Crowe cannot leave behind the horror and mystery genres so soon. According to an official update from The Pope’s Exorcist’s producer, Jeff Katz, the 2023 film will receive a sequel soon. The horror film was a sleeper hit at the box office and, despite not being perfect, was liked by many.

The Pope’s Exorcist mostly earned mixed reviews from critics. However, it seems like the makers want to mimic the first film’s unexpected success. Earlier this year, Russell Crowe discussed the possibility of numerous follow-ups to the Julius Avery directorial.
