‘Late Phases’ Director Performs an Exorcism on a Pregnant Woman in ‘La Exorcista’
Spanish director Adrían García Bogliano is returning to horror with La Exorcista, a new exorcism film that’s currently filming in Mexico City, writes Variety.
María Evoli stars as Ofelia, a young nun who recently arrived in the town of San Ramón, where she is forced to perform an exorcism on a pregnant woman.
“The possession looks like it’s ended – until Ofelia discovers that the evil presence is trying to return to the victim’s body. She will have to risk it all to prevent this from happening, even if this means exposing her weaknesses to the forces of evil and putting her own life at risk.”
Says executive producer Pablo Guisa Koestinger of the plot: “Our film has a premise that contains an element that is rarely exploited and that breaks traditional genre conventions, for it focuses on a woman as the exorcist and not only as the possessed.”
La Exorcista co-stars Pilar Santacruz (“Luis Miguel: The Series”), Ramón Medina (“The Inmate”) and Julio Bracho (“Sitiados: Mexico”) as well as a cast of renowned performers such as Salvador Sánchez (“Angel de Fuego”), Juan Carlos Colombo (“Herod’s Law”), and Tina Romero (“Las Grandes Aguas”).
The site calls Bogliano “a founding father of the modern Argentine horror scene”, detailing his impressive body of work that includes Here Comes The Devil (2012), Night of the Wolf (2014), and Juega Conmigo (2021). He also directed the werewolf thriller Late Phases for Dark Sky Films.
If you want to watch a fun movie, watch a Ryuhei Kitamura movie. Whether it’s 2000’s Versus, 2004’s Godzilla: Final Wars, 2008’s The Midnight Meat Train or 2022’s underseen The Price We Pay, Kitamura always knows how to deliver a wild and crazy good time.
Up next from Ryuhei Kitamura? Deadline reports that he’ll be directing Thrill Ride, which sounds a bit like the best parts of Final Destination 3… expanded into a feature film!
Deadline details, “the English-language film will tell the story of a group of people, including two young women, who are trapped upside down on a roller coaster taken over by a mysterious saboteur threatening to drop them all one-by-one to their deaths.”
Film Bridge International is launching the project for sales ahead of the Cannes market.
Chad Law and Christopher Jolley wrote the screenplay.
“Thrill Ride is exactly the type of high-concept based thriller that our customers are looking for in the marketplace,” said Film Bridge’s Ellen Wander and Jordan Dykstra. “With Ryuhei at the helm, we know his vision and execution will deliver thrills of the highest quality.”
“As a hardcore rollercoaster fan since I was young, I immediately fell in love with this script filled with suspense, action, crazy ups and downs, turns, loops, and corkscrews at maximum speed,” adds Kitamura. “I can’t wait to get on a ride and bring life to the wildest rollercoaster imaginable.”
We’re already seated. Stay tuned for more on Thrill Ride as we learn it.
