During an interview with Live for Films, The Descent, Dog Soldiers, Doomsday and Centurion director Neil Marshall revealed a screenplay he’s currently working on, while also “chasing about 12 various projects.”

When asked for details on the script, the seasoned UK director explained that “It’s a World War 2 alien invasion story,” before being interrupted by the ecstatic fan who literally asks Marshall if he just scored a scoop. Unfortunately, the “reporter” was much too excited about his “scoop” that he never presses on for more details.

Marshall is also producing The Haunted, Axelle Carolyn’s directorial debut from her own screenplay.

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.
