New Poster, 3 TV Spots for New Line’s Exorcism Flick ‘The Rite’
One of the year’s first horror films arrives in theaters January 28 from New Line Cinema. From 1408 director Mikael Hafstrom comes The Rite, the latest exorcism-themed horror flick starring Anthony Hopkins, Colin O’Donoghue, Alice Braga, Ciaran Hinds, and Toby Jones. Inside you’ll find the final one sheet and first 3 TV Spots for the flick that tells the story that follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (O’Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While he’s in Rome, Michael meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith, uncovering the devil’s reach even to one of the holiest places on Earth. Do notice the poster exclaims “inspired by true events,” which basically means it a complete fabrication of another tale. Hence the word “inspired”. Sh*t, I could say this story inspired me to eat a bowl of Fruit Loops, and while it may be true, it’s also completely ridiculous. Point proven? I hope…

The sequel will make its global streaming debut exclusively on HBO Max on July 24. The film will debut on HBO linear on July 25 at 8:00 p.m. ET.
Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid returns to the helm from a script by Jeremy Slater (“Moon Knight,” Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire), based on the popular video game franchise.
This time, the fan favorite champions — now joined by Johnny Cage (Karl Urban) himself — are pitted against one another in the ultimate, no-holds barred, gory battle to defeat the dark rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders.

The interpretation for this film will feature Visual Vernacular, a unique sign language form that combines elements of ASL, mime, facial expressions and body movements to convey highly visual stories.
From New Line Cinema, James Wan’s Atomic Monster, Broken Road Productions, and Fireside Films, Mortal Kombat II is rated R for “strong bloody violence and gore, and language.”
Look for Mortal Kombat II to arrive on 4K UHD, Blu-ray and DVD on July 28.
