[News Bites] TV Edition: A New Character For “American Horror Story” And A New Start For “Dexter”

Published

Dexter

Wherein I give you two updates that were too small to warrant their own posts. First off? The Seventh Season of “Dexter” now has the air-date of September 30th at 9pm ET/PT. Will his sister Deborah still be in love with him now that she knows he’s a serial killer? OMG that show seems to have gone nuts (I didn’t catch Season Six – let me know if it’s as crazy as it sounds in the comments).

Secondly. There’s a new character coming to “American Horror Story”. And she earns the “double Angelina Jolie reference” award. Per TV Line, “The series regular character, Gia, is described as a fierce, ferocious, extremely sexual and dangerous wild-child sexpot who harbors a secret — “think Angelina Jolie in Girl, Interrupted,” reads the casting notice.

Seems like they definitely have a specific image in mind.

Dan Stevens is everywhere lately, from Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire to Abigail and the upcoming Cuckoo. We’re not complaining. Up next? He’s starring in horror movie The Ritual.

Al Pacino and Dan Stevens have both joined the cast of the upcoming exorcism horror movie from XYZ Films and director David Midell, Variety reports this afternoon.

Based on a true story, the film “follows two priests — one questioning his faith (Stevens) and one reckoning with a troubled past (Pacino) — who must put aside their differences to save a possessed young woman through a difficult and dangerous series of exorcisms.”

Variety details, “The film is an authentic portrayal of Emma Schmidt, an American woman whose demonic possession culminated in harrowing exorcisms. Her case remains the most thoroughly documented exorcism in American history.”

David Midell and Enrico Natale wrote the screenplay for The Ritual.

XYZ Films is planning to release the horror film theatrically in 2025.
