‘The Guest’ Finds A Grieving Mother To Harass
I’m pretty stoked about The Guest, I’m a fan of the creative team’s past work and they’re putting together a great, eclectic cast. The latest addition, per Variety, is Sheila Kelley (Singles, Matchstick Men, “Lost”).
The film stars Dan Stevens (“Downton Abbey”) as David, an ex-Marine who returns from a tour of duty and is taken in by a fallen comrade’s family, who he proceeds to terrorize. Kelley will play the mother of David’s deceased brother-in-arms. Lance Reddick, Brendan Meyer and Maika Monroe also star.
The project hails from the filmmaking team behind V/H/S, V/H/S/2 and Lionsgate’s upcoming horror movie You’re Next, including director Adam Wingard, writer Simon Barrett and producers Keith Calder and Jessica Wu of Snoot Entertainment. The film is currently shooting in New Mexico.
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.
