Russell Crowe Is Father Amorth In The First Image From 'The Pope's Exorcist'

Julius Avery, the director behind 2018’s excellent horror Overlord, is back with The Pope’s Exorcist, based on real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth, who performed over 100,000 exorcisms for the Vatican. Russell Crowe will star as Father Gabriele Amorth, and today we have the image.

Alex Essoe (“Midnight Mass) and Daniel Zovatto (It Follows) are also set to star.

The most recent draft of the script was written by Evan Spiliotopoulos with revisions by Chuck MacLean, based on the original script by Chester Hastings and R. Dean McCreary.

If you would like to learn more about the Father be sure to check out William Friedlin’s (The Exorcist) documentary The Devil and Father Amorth, which you can find now on VOD and DVD.
