Warner Bros. Pictures made a ton of adjustments with their upcoming genre slate, staring with their reboot of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which arrives in theaters April 30, 2010, two weeks later than originally slated. Their Megan Fox starring Western Jonah Hex will now arrive in cinemas June 18, 2010, a whopping two months earlier than it’s original August date (this shows confidence in the film!). Lastly, their Dark Castle thriller The Factory has been bumped two months to a January 28, 2011 release, which is a solid date for a genre flick. Good moves altogether. As usual, click any title above for more info on each film.

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.
