Russell Crowe is gearing up to haunt the screens once again, this time with his latest venture into horror cinema, “The Exorcism.”
Following his role in “The Pope’s Exorcist,” where he portrayed Father Gabriele Amorth, Crowe is set to delve into the realm of exorcism once more. In “The Pope’s Exorcist,” Crowe depicted a case undertaken by the Vatican’s chief exorcist, unraveling hidden secrets between the church and demons.
Adapted from Father Gabriele Amorth’s book “An Exorcist Tells His Story,” which recounts events from 1990, “The Pope’s Exorcist” generated considerable anticipation upon the announcement of Crowe’s leading role. Despite facing turbulent production challenges starting in 2020 and eventually commencing filming in 2022, the movie managed to garner $77 million worldwide at the box office, receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike.
Moreover, it’s known that a sequel to the controversial film, criticized by the International Association of Exorcists, is in the works, with Russell Crowe expected to reprise his role as Gabriele Amorth.
Russell Crowe continues his journey into horror cinema with “The Exorcism”. Renowned for his Oscar-winning performance in “Gladiator” and roles in acclaimed films like “A Beautiful Mind” and “L.A. Confidential,” Russell Crowe is set to continue his recent foray into horror with “The Exorcism.”
