“The Exorcist” Casting Blessed By Two Priests
Alfonso Herrera (“Sense8,” “The Chosen”) and Ben Daniels ( pictured below in “House of Cards”) are set to topline “The Exorcist,” Fox’s drama pilot inspired by William Blatty’s 1971 book, Deadline reports.
“The Exorcist,” penned by feature writer Jeremy Slater (The Lazarus Effect, Fantastic Four), is described as a modern reinvention of the book, previously adapted into William Friedkin’s classic horror movie. It is a propulsive, serialized psychological thriller following two very different men — Father Tomas Ortega (Herrera) and Father Marcus Lang (Daniels) — tackling one family’s case of horrifying demonic possession and confronting the face of true evil.
Herrera’s Father Tomas is the warm, selfless and compassionate leader of a small but hearty little church, explains the site, while Daniels’ Father Marcus is the intense holy warrior carrying out an occupation that the church no longer acknowledges in public.
Hannah Kasulka will play Casey Rance, the wall-flower of the family. Casey is worried about her sister Charlotte (Brianne Howley), who has been holed up in her room ever since her serious accident.
Slater, who wrote the script, executive produces alongside James Robinson, David Robinson and Barbara Wall for 20th Century Fox TV and Morgan Creek Prods.
Rupert Wyatt is set to direct, as previously reported.
