Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced today that this year’s horror hit The Pope’s Exorcist is headed to Digital on May 30, followed by Blu-ray and DVD on June 13.
Inspired by the actual files of Father Gabriele Amorth, Chief Exorcist of the Vatican (Academy Award®-winner Russell Crowe; 2000, Best Actor, Gladiator), The Pope’s Exorcist follows Amorth as he investigates a young boy’s terrifying possession and ends up uncovering a centuries-old conspiracy the Vatican has desperately tried to keep hidden.
BLU-RAY™, DVD AND DIGITAL SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE:● Introducing Father Amorth ● What Possessed You?
Julius Avery (Overlord) directed The Pope’s Exorcist.
From Sony’s Screen Gems, The Pope’s Exorcist is based on real-life exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth, “the legendary Italian priest who performed over 100,000 exorcisms for the Vatican.”
Evan Spiliotopoulos wrote the current draft with revisions by Chuck MacLean, based on Michael Petroni-revised original drafts by Chester Hastings and R. Dean McCreary.
