While the LA Times was reporting on Breck Eisner’s exit from Universal’s Creature from the Black Lagoon remake, they also revealed that he has officially signed on to The Brood, a (completely unnecessary) remake of the David Cronenberg horror flick about a woman who telepathically communicates with her group of mutant children, instructing them to act out violently (one of my all-time favorite flicks). Eisner’s on board to direct the new version, which is written by Cory Goodman for financier Spyglass Entertainment. Eisner’s The Crazies remake arrives in theaters this coming February.

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.
