Al Pacino and Dan Stevens are set to lead the cast of upcoming exorcism horror movie The Ritual from XYZ Films and director David Midell, and Variety reports this week that XYZ Films is “planning a U.S. theatrical release in 2025.” Additionally, Variety notes in today’s fresh report that the movie has “sold out for most international territories by XYZ Films.”
Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”
Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”
David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.
