Russell Crowe’s "The Exorcism" Trailer Released

Vertical has released the official trailer for the supernatural horror movie “The Exorcism”, starring Academy Award winner Russell Crowe.

Directed by Joshua John Miller, "The Exorcism" follows Anthony Miller (Crowe), a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror movie. His estranged daughter (Ryan Simpkins) wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play.

Additional cast members include Sam Worthington (“Avatar: The Way of Water”), Chloe Bailey (“Praise This”), Adam Goldberg (“The Equalizer”), David Hyde Pierce (“Frasier”), Adrian Pasdar (“Near Dark”), Tracey Bonner (“The Beanie Bubble”), and Josh Warren (“Footloose”).

From Miramax, producer Kevin Williamson and Outerbanks Entertainment, the pic is written by Miller and M.A. Fortin, the creators of the hit series "Queen of the South" and the writers and producers of "The Final Girls".

Miramax, Kevin Williamson, Ben Fast, and Bill Block produced alongside EPs Padraic McKinley, Scott Putman, Andrew Golov, and Thom Zadra. 

Vertical Partner Peter Jarowey and Senior Vice President of Acquisitions Tony Piantedosi negotiated the deal on behalf of Vertical, with CAA Media Finance negotiating on behalf of the filmmakers.

“The Exorcism” is Crowe’s second in the exorcism subgenre in just two years, on the heels of Sony’s "The Pope’s Exorcist", which grossed nearly $77 million worldwide. 

It also marks Miller and Fortin’s second feature after the 2015 horror comedy “The Final Girls.”

“The Exorcism” comes to theaters on June 7.
