The Popes Exorcist Release Date: Who Are the Cast Members in It?

Filming occurred in Ireland from August to October of 2022, following a director change and rewrites to the script. Sony Pictures Releases plans to release it in theatres across the United States on April 14, 2023.

A decent exorcism movie is still needed, as evidenced by the continued success of films like The Exorcist, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and The Conjuring. On April 14, an all-new exorcist movie will be added to the canon, with Academy Oscar winner Russell Crowe in the lead role as the Vatican’s official head exorcist, Fr Gabriele Amorth.

The fact that The Pope’s Exorcist is a historical horror film puts a new spin on the classic demon vs. priest plot. Amorth, who conducted and recorded over a hundred thousand exorcisms during his lifetime, inspired the film.

The Pope himself designated the colorful and controversial priest as an exorcist, and he is known to begin exorcisms by infamously thumbing his nose at the demon. He also established the International Association of Exorcists (IAE), a legitimate group of hundreds of exorcists from all over the world who the Vatican recognizes.

The Devil and Father Amorth, a documentary released in 2017, follows Amorth around because of how interesting of a subject he is. The Exorcist director William Friedkin filmed Amorth in action. He is remarkable because he seems entirely logical, as seen by a statement he made to The Sunday Telegraph: “You must always go to the doctor before you go to the exorcist because normally they are suffering from seizures, schizophrenia, or other mental issues.

Not until he slams doubters with statements like, “We can weed out the bogus ones,” does anyone take him seriously. If the pupils are pointing upwards, the demons possessing the person are scorpions, however, if they are looking around, the demonic presence is most likely already there. When viewed from above, they resemble snakes.

Two of Amorth’s autobiographies, An Exorcist Tells His Tale and An Exorcist: Further Stories, were the basis for the film The Pope’s Exorcist, which was released after his death in 2016. In Crowe’s words, “it’s a very dark pursuit, and it is faith that allowed him a certain level of courage to do the job,” Amorth’s faith is what gave him the strength to carry it out.
