Ari Aster and Nicolas Cage?! Fittingly titled Dream Scenario, Variety reports this week that Aster will indeed be producing an upcoming movie from A24 that stars Nicolas Cage!

It’s not a horror movie, mind you, with Dream Scenario being referred to as a “comedy” in the first details from Variety. That said, all plot details are completely under wraps.

Variety reports, “Beyond the genre, most details on the film are being kept under wraps.”

Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself) wrote the script and will direct Dream Scenario.

Aster and Lars Knudsen produce under their Square Peg banner.

Up next from Ari Aster (Hereditary, Midsommar) as director is A24’s Disappointment Blvd., which stars Joaquin Phoenix and Parker Posey. The plot for that one is also under wraps.

Stay tuned for more on both projects as we learn it.

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.
